Typophile and Veer pages

I've updated my member pages at Typophile and Veer. With LinkedIn, Facebook, two blogs, my own domain name, plus these latest revisions, I'm fully entrenched in the web. Look out world.

NPR declares that "Stuff White People Like" is Dead

This makes me a bit sad, but this story about parody sites is really good. Take a listen to the creators of "White Stuff People Like" (mayonnaise, snow, cocaine) "Stuff Nobody Likes." (cancer, walking into spider webs)

Funny link for the day

With Bill Clinton in town, the Race issue, et cetera.

I was combing the Internet looking for amusement when I happened to check out the top blogs on Wordpress.

I am rolling right now because I just found a great blog:

"Stuff White People Like."

Check out my favorite post so far: #88

I wonder at times why I still bother watching television as a form of entertainment.

Allow me to elaborate:

So I sit there, laptop on my lap, typing away online and finding myself irritated that I have to take a break from what I am doing on the computer to fast forward through the commercials on TiVo.

And people wonder why there's such a thing as adult ADD.

Then while combing through my bookmarks, I found a post on one of my photography/design favorites called typophile.

To be more precise: Typophile.com.

Hold me back. I am such a nerd when it comes to fonts. I love love love fonts. I can't believe that part of my job is working with fonts. Of course, my company has it's own set fonts that we use, but there is something about the artistry of fonts that gets the wheels in my head turning. It's such a collision of art, commerce, and communication. There's no other craft like fonts. We actually talked about it in my philosophy of art class.

I immediately signed up as a typophile. I have even commented on a blog or two.

I guess the summary is that what's on my computer could keep me entertained and occupied for several days, so I should more or less give up on television. There are communities online of like-minded individuals, aka fontfreaks, in which I can immerse myself.

Holiday Cards

To my loyal readers and friends:

I am sending out holiday cards and it's gobbling up a great deal of my time. I will write more soon.

this blog's title

Bad news y'all. "Tomorrow's Coffee" is already a podcast.

OH MY DIETY. I thought it was an original title. I didn't even bother with a google search first. I was just in the mood for coffee one night, and I opted to wait for the morning. It was one of those times I wasn't feeling well, but I knew that in the morning, I would have coffee, so it was something to get myself motivated.

I've got to think of a new idea, and fast. At least this time, I will google it before I make the same mistake.

tonight's bedtime

The Tivo had another suggestion for Frasier. Of course, I had to watch it. I love Frasier, simply because I can feel entertained without being demeaned. So I wasted even more precious time when I could have been reading my library book, or working on my notes from tonight's interview at the newspaper. Chad's been in bed nearly three hours, but I'm still awake. I can't go to sleep. I am too exhausted.

I should check my e-mail for the third time today. Nothing new. More crap from Monster and 1-800 Flowers.com. SSDD. Cool new vid from Dave B from SNL's weekend update. Funny.

Then I check Towleroad. There's a great video of Jake Gyllenhaal on a UK talk show promoting Rendition. I kind of want to see it, but I remember how disappointed I was with that stupid gulf war movie, Jarhead. He hasn't made a decent movie since Donnie Darko. Now I'm sounding too emo for my own good.

Let's open a blogger account and see what happens.
