Nerd Tats

That's right, you can have yourself laser engraved.  Sweet.  And I bet they'll still bury you in a Jewish cemetery.  Bonus!

In Soviet Russia, moleskin engrave you!

The Losing End of Hockey Bets

So this is what the losing end of a hockey bet looks like?  Seems the Pennsylvania Governor was a little overly confident in the Penguins, eh?  What a good sport for going through with it.  I love the fact that he is drinking Faygo Rock-and-Rye - brilliant!

And to think that I won my hockey bet (with myself?) and you all know how that ended up...

SPAM of the week

So on occasion I find a POS (Piece Of SPAM) in my inbox (thanks a lot Exchange) that I truly enjoy.  This week it was one titled: 'shore girl'

1. Find a girl
2. Invite her to your appartments
3. Use subject product V (or C)
4. Have fun
5. Take her number
6. Profit?

While inviting her to my appartments sounds pretty solid, step 6 is clearly my favorite.  I hope shore girl will reply to my internets.

Cocoa and Me

Part of my brain keeps saying "go code in Cocoa and leave the rest all behind".

I beat that part of my brain with a stick.

Me and My Moleskine - How I Avoided the Mohel

So the fine folks over at KCAL wanted to do a piece on nerds rediscovering non-nerdy devices - like the pen and paper.  As an avid Moleskine advocate, they shot some (B) roll of me on Tuesday for their Tech Check segment.  Other than looking like Brother Ishmael from Kingpin, I think I pulled it off - only breaking out words unsuitable for their viewership once.

Stop reading and watch the video here or here.  Now go watch it again - yes, it's that good.

I also got to spend some time with the creators of LaserMoleskine (subsidiary of equally cool EtchStar). Very cool folk with an equally cool product.  If you want the coolest damn Moleskin around, are looking for awesome giveaways or gifts, or just want to make your iPod yours in a way that Steve Jobs won't let you, then go see these guys.  I'm having them build a machine large enough for my car to fit in - but I digress.
