This is amazing. I love me some awards shows but this is pretty accurate…

This Is Accurate, You Should Watch It of the Day: Short blurb describing the video above as being a rather observant parody trailer in which actors self-referentially reenact many clichés often utilized by academy award-baiting films.

So I wanted to post some pics in honor of the Terps big comeback and win against Clemson last night, but I just looked through all of my photo library and I have ZERO pics of me at a Maryland basketball game. Football games and tailgates? Plenty. College friends, do any of you have pictures of me at a basketball game? I would like to have at least one so I can tell my kids I trekked in the freezing cold to Comcast Center, and reveled in the wall of students in one of the nation’s best basketball arenas, and rioted (okay more like innocently watched as others went crazy) on Rt. 1 when we beat Duke.

Anyway, a little while ago Jake and I went to Longhorns game and these are a few pics from that instead. And while I will always be a Terps fan at heart, I have to admit.. the burnt orange is growing on me.

“…you’re going to start getting closer and closer - that is, if you want to, and if you look for it and wait for it - to the kind of information that will be very, very dear to your heart. Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.”

This might be the ultimate work out song. It’s a mashup of the top 25 songs of 2009 by DJ Earworm. Very artfully done, I must say.

Soo.. thoughts on Google Chrome for Mac? I keep seeing the logo on my Google page. Should I be switching? I go back and forth with Safari and Firefox right now, but lately Safari has been winning. Do you use Chrome?

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:42:30 -0600

The other night I couldn’t fall asleep and was watching bad late night tv to try and make myself sleepy and this commercial/infomercial came on and, is it just me or does this seem really bizarre to anyone else? I mean, don’t get me wrong, yes I was a book-loving-dork growing up and watched Reading Rainbow every day, but this thing just doesn’t make sense. If it’s a moving picture of a book, isn’t it just… a movie??? I guess since they put the words up there with it they assume kids will learn to read by watching, but it just seems like a cheap form of book-karaoke that doesn’t actually teach you to read, just gets kids more addicted to television and movies.

It just seems to me that not everything should be digital. Okay, I understand that the Kindle is very popular and trying to change the book industry the way the iPod did for music, but it makes me sad to think that someday kids could grow up not knowing why a good book is called a “real page turner.” Also, I hope that I never feel the need to buy my kids a movie instead of the book, cause everyone knows- the book is ALWAYS better.
