Well, the dust is settling in San Diego still, I’m sure.
San Diego Comic-Con was this past weekend and, while it sounds like Hollywood is nudging the the comic industry further and further to the fringes, I’m really starting to feel like I need to attend this convention some year. A couple softball teammates went last [...]

Okay, the hype machine for their new record Hold Positive has been in overdrive for weeks now (although Spin only gives it 3 out of 5). Brooklyn-based The Hold Steady are poised for ‘next big thing’ status. I had never heard them, so when I saw that their recent Letterman appearance [...]

I just recently finished working my way through Season One of HBO’s stellar Old West / goldrush / settlement drama Deadwood and I’m ready to declare it one of my favorites television programs of all time.

It’s been a while since I emptied my phone’s memory card and, as a result, I’ve got a whole bunch of pictures that I forgot about. Some of them are even pretty good, too.
This first one was a moment that reminded me of childhood. Ice cream fell to the ground from atop a sugar cone [...]

This past weekend, we discovered a new favorite Cape Cod landmark: Gray’s Beach in Yarmouthport, also known as Bass Hole. I had seen it spotlighted on Capecast, a video podcast by The Cape Cod Times, and dragged everyone to see what the fuss was all about.
We arrived at [...]
