Check out the Texas Justice

Check out the Texas Justice Departments database of last meal requests -- disturbingly interesting. This one looks filling: "Twenty-four soft shell tacos, six enchiladas, six tostados, two whole onions, five jalapenos, two cheeseburgers, one chocolate shake, one quart of milk and one package of Marlboro cigarettes. (Prohibited by TDCJ policy)." Two whole onions?

I have resigned myself to

I have resigned myself to fixing a truly annoying bug, and it's turning out to kill my Friday evening. Might go check out that Hedwig and the Angry Inch flick. I hear it's good for the ego. Hey, Merav and I also went to Assategue Island last weekend for some ol' campin' action. Nice beach, great poo -- pictures to follow!

This consulting company, a spinoff

This consulting company, a spinoff of another, now defunct, consulting company, is renting some of the space in the loft where I work. One of them is an "Internet strategist" and if you're wondering where the web is going, he says, "the web is just a gateway to white slavery." FYI, of course.

Yup, Basement Jaxx jacked me

Yup, Basement Jaxx jacked me up this weekend. You can't beat lounging in the sun for four hours followed by a rather ripping set by some of the best professional knob twiddlers out there. Rauri and I followed it up by a trip to Cafe Lalo, you know where parts of You've Got Mail! were filmed. What a shitty movie, but man the Super Shake is smooth!

What is it about Che

What is it about Che Guevara that makes him so hip? I see Che shirts everywhere these days, in Urban Outfitters even - not exactly a socialist organization. He ordered executions of hundreds, so ummm, I don't get it. Someone clue me in?
