Saw him perform with Harry Connick Jr. Great musician who was clearly having fun.

I can't imagine going back to Outlook or (gasp!) Lotus Notes.

Not only is their beer great, but the brewery is less than 10 minutes from my house. I've been on the tour a time or ten.

This was first exposure to film noir.

I never got to see Fern in concert, unfortunately, but I have been to several decent Fern tribute band shows. The best was Shady Woodland.

I'll be glad to read this & see if it "clicks".

A key ingredient in my new favorite drink - the kamikaze. Also useful when making stir fry.

So glad to hear he will be directing Spider-Man 4. The franchise was in need of some new blood. Plus his name is Webb.

Whenever I am north of the border, I always get me good supply of these tasty candy bars. Best thing to come out of Canada since Mike Meyers.

This was definitely a top 10 best toy of my childhood. Beyond being a super cool robot phaser tank (with optional dump truck thing) - it was my introduction to programming.

This was a such a relief after a couple years of the Wiggles.

This was the first 80's nostalgia movie that I saw.

Imagine a world where time flows like a stream of check-ins from your friends. When they do something like read a book, watch a show, or listen to a song they check-in, which causes the stream that is time to flow.

In this world the more friends you have the faster time flows. For someone with many many very active friends, time flows very quickly. Just yesterday they were in third grade, now suddenly they have a son in third grade. For someone with few, inactive friends, time flows very slowly. They watch the clock and wait for it to be time for lunch. Time to go home.

Time that moves too quickly can make life go by like trees passing as you speed down the tracks in a train to Bern. Some people purposefully break connections with their friends or seek out less active friends to slow down time.

Time that moves too slowly can be equally painful. These people want to seek out new friends, but they are waiting for the time.

The secret experiment in this book was "I wonder if I can reuse a bunch of my existing stuff, freshen it up ever so slightly, put it together in a book, and make some money"

The answer is yes.

The secret experiment in this book was "I wonder if I can reuse a bunch of my existing stuff, freshen it up ever so slightly, put it together in a book, and make some money"

The answer is yes.

It is A.J. Jacobs, so it is going to clever and funny, but it really felt like he phoned it in. It also looked like he used every trick in the book to make the book longer then it actually is (multiple lines between paragraphs, meaningless illustrations, appendixes that comprise 12% of the book).

Yes, I liked it, but after reading Year of Living Biblically I was expecting more.

Kicking tires, lighting fires, and telling people they have ugly babies. What's not to love?

Classic tale of love and one-upmanship.

Surprisingly comfortable and extremely stylish at Oktoberfest.

It took a couple goes to get into this, but once I did I learned a lot. Now I find it hard to believe we won.

I only have a couple songs from this, but there are some fresh updates of familiar Men at Work stuff, and some very nice stuff too.

One of the best things I learned in college.
