3:30am boredom fixers: Nestlé Crunch Hotline
If you can’t sleep and you’re looking for some inane entertainment, why not call the Nestlé Crunch Hotline? Believe it or not, there is much silly fun to be had. Here’s what to do…
A Juggling Romance--How Dan and Katherine Met (smaller video)
This is the video that played (partially) before the ceremony at our wedding (though I did add some stuff later, since I had some time). Dan and I met in 2004 at a juggling festival in Buffalo, NY. This is a retelling of that story, with some…err…artistic liberties taken. And fancy special effects. Very fancy.

What is up with fortune cookies, Part II
This is a followup to my previous article, What is up with fortune cookies these days? which I wrote after friends and I received some very strange “fortunes” in our fortune cookies.
Well, it’s happened again. Different restaurant. Three of these are just weird. One of those three is just stupid. Then the fourth one is just made of 100% pure awesome, and it was, appropriately, the one in my cookie.
The first weird one...
Calling all Tellers of Tall Tales!
I’m putting together a video that will be played at our wedding (May 24, 2009), and one of the things I want to have is a bunch of people telling stories of how they “allegedly” heard we met. We want these to be as wacky as possible, and I know that my friends are a creative bunch. The format would be along the lines of these:
“I heard Dan and Katherine met…”
“Oh, Dan and Katherine?...
What is up with fortune cookies these days?
When I was growing up, I seem to recall that fortune cookies contained things like “you will meet a tall, handsome stranger” or cute little “Confucius say…” type phrases. These days it seems like they’re…um…different?
We ordered Chinese delivered tonight and each of us got a cookie. Here is what our “fortunes” were:
“You have a sincere desire to improve”

Fuzzball kitten savages a 130lb golden retriever
Exceedingly cute video of my 10 week old kitten beating up on my 10 year old, 130lb golden retriever. Smackdown ’08.
Clinton Campain + Bubblewrap!!!
I was contacted yesterday by a representative of Hillary Clinton’s campaign team asking if they could license my Virtual Bubblewrap for use in her newest online campaign ads. We haven’t worked anything out for sure yet, we’re still in the talking phase. Some of the ideas we’ve discussed are replacing the “random noise” bubbles’ sounds with sound bites from Hillary’s political speeches, or having the background be a picture of Hillary once all the...
Movie Review: Hogfather (2006)
In which I defend a position nobody has ever actually challenged me on...
Laundry is a pretty dull task, and so one’s mind does tend to wander in the course of doing it.* For some inexplicable reason, my mind tends to wander into the more esoteric nooks and crannies of the fascinating topic of…um…doing the laundry. I could be daydreaming about movie stars or sex or thinking of something useful like planning dinner or trying to remember how to do statistics problems… but more often I think about...
