Amongst the usual work details, my brain brings up the oddest stuff: Cameras. Cookies. Hot dogs. Diana Rigg. Wait...

The Annenberg Space for Photography opens today in Century City, Los Angeles. You need to go: http://ping.fm/p46Ug

This Just In...

Scary times: Science wins in Texas, but just barely... http://ping.fm/c4dbh #evolution

Insomniac

Posting on Facebook at 3 AM is like walking around in a dark room and accidentally putting your hand in a jar of mayonnaise.

The Book

You need to buy one for yourself and one for every friend you have. That way, you both will have your own.

Road Rage

Someone didn't get a Prius.

Modern Red Riding Hood

A modern interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood:

Artifacts for Aliens

I'm concerned that in 10,000 years, the only traces of our civilization aliens will find are episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Squid Balls

I wonder if they sing a little higher now.

Catfish

Is that lipstick?

Croc-O-Death

Ding Dong, the Crocs Are Dead! And there was much rejoicing. http://ping.fm/V7ATC #crocs

Hulu Promo

Hulu rocks, again. Giggity Giggity Goo: http://ping.fm/MgKEM #hulu

Lemons, You Bastards!

When life hands you lemons, put them in the freezer until they're good and firm, and then throw them back really hard.

We Need This... Society Needs This

I am a cult member: I admit it. But if Microsoft doesn't screw up this new Surface technology too much, it could truly make the world a better place.

Nerdgasm #2: Commence.

A Better Web Site

Did I mention that I updated my web site? It's a lot better now. http://www.donlupo.com

Making Progress

I'm not at Inbox Zero, but I'm finally at Inbox 2, which is better than Inbox 3,748. http://ping.fm/cx19V

Dear Gamestop

Dear Gamestop: I want you to know that I can live without you. I'm going back to Amazon and eBay. You suck cheese. Love, Don

The Problem with St. Patrick's Day

No Whining

This may seem harsh to some, but until the economy improves, deal with it. http://ping.fm/d2icy #job

Real-World Physics with DaVinci

DaVinci is a prototype/experiment that blurs the lines between the physical and virtual world by combining object recognition, real-world physics simulation and gestural interface design on Microsoft Surface.

Best. Album. Ever.

On Sept. 30 (mark your calendars), Legacy Recordings is releasing a Collector's Edition Box set to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.

This was an historic event in music, in jazz, in life. If you don't already have a copy, shame on you. Go get one now. I'll wait here and watch this.

Early Birds

Got up at 6:30 for a walk, and the local kayakers are just coming back in. Yeesh.

Where You AT-AT?

Uh-oh... looks like someone needs walkies. http://ping.fm/vHVkL

Blink This

Dear People of L.A.: Is there a reason why you don't use your signals to change lanes, thereby avoiding an accident? I didn't think so.

Progress

I've been trying to say this all along: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/3/9/

A quiet, gray morning spent reading a book on one of the founders of modern science. Nerd bliss.

P. Diddy uses more exclamation points in his tweets than a 10-year-old girl texting her BFF.

Following a complete hack like P. Diddy on Twitter is like secretly wishing the gym coach would sit with you at the dorks' lunch table.

Automotive Namesake

Ironically, I probably couldn't fit in it: http://ping.fm/UGFMc

I just received an 8-lb. bundle of joy: My XBox is back from repairs!

I am absolutely amazed by this: http://ping.fm/b5aSK

Strange Object

I think past civilizations called it a "pay phone".
