The Big Asshole

This is a great reason why I'd never live in NYC. I know its typecasting New Yorkers, but.... c'mon - 20 people? Not one call to 911? New Yorkers are TOO hard. I get that you've got to be like that to 'survive' in the city, but at what point does your humanity kick back in?

Give me Iowa any day of the week.

Radio Lab

The best thing I've discovered in a while. Since This American Life, in fact.

RADIO LAB. Along the same lines as T.A.L., only a little bit more produced. Same quality of stories, though. Subscribe to this podcast. Just trust me on this one. My favorite so far is "Limits."

OMG Shews.

Went on a new shoe rampage. Stupid eBay and their slightly cheaper prices and sweet colorways.

Converse Allstar Slip On, Royal Blue
-1 pair per year. Best shoes ever.

Bad Idea

Enjoy your last term in office, McDonnell. I have no idea what made you think this was a good idea.

2010 Breakout Arist

Nice job, Matt!

The singer/songwriter that I play with received an award for being the 2010 Breakout Artist. That kid can write a song. Check out the video of him playing and explaining the song "Tracks." Pretty heavy stuff.
