Upcoming.org

This new collaborative website is kind of interesting. You can register upcoming events, of any time, have other people declare their intention to intend, as well as post comments. It’s kind of like what might happen if we were given the ability to peek at everyone else’s evite history.

Why can’t I ever think of the interesting ideas first?

Blowing Us All

This weekend I had the opportunity to see A Might Wind live in concert in Philadelphia. First of all, if you’re not familiar with the movie of the same name, it’s Christopher Guest’s latest installment of strange improv comedy “mockumentary” movies, this time dealing with a folk music reunion. In any case, the concert was great. It featured the three folk bands from the movie as well as the other characters making some hilarious cameos in character, including Bob Balaban and Jennifer Coolidge.

The only frustrating thing about the night were the directions. They were completely off (for example they said head southwest on I-76 when we were supposed to go east), and there has to be at least five better ways to get there.

Weak Thoughts

As you may well know by now, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This was on the news this morning and on weblogs all over the world.

The hurricane was a “non-event” for me. A little rain, a lot of wind, but nothing much else. However, I’m one of the very few people who bothered to show up for work today.

Dreamhost still sucks, don’t believe the hype. Their webmail program is wonky again. Anyone have suggestions for a host better than Dreamhost? The problem is, most other hosts are much worse.

My mother wants me to meet her in Vegas over Thanksgiving. It sounds crazy to me, but I haven’t seen her in a few years, and it’s been even longer since I’ve seen my aunt, uncle, and cousins who will also be out there.

In a future time, children will work together to build a giant cyborg.

I’m seeing A Mighty Wind (the folk bands, not the movie) tonight in Philly with Denise and M-D. That should be fun.
