So I got this email announcing an audition for black entrepreneurs who use Verizon DSL. They’re doing a commercial and wanted “real people.” Well, usually I like to stay behind the camera, but the loot was extremely nice (and I am trying to buy a laptop this summer) so I called my little brother for some pointers and headed off to the audition. I ended up getting a call back … will keep you posted on how it goes… At the spot I ran into the brothas from Dissident Display. Maybe one day we’ll all be famous.

I’m now recovering from this past weekend’s okayplayer reunion. I think the video gives you a taste of what the past 48 hours were like.

If you don’t know what an okayplayer is, the documentary we’re making will reveal all (hopefully in time for next year’s reunion).

Shouts to everyone I met there, and a shout to Mica, the karaoke vlogging queen.

The wedding of Moon and Ahk.

First in a soon-to-be ongoing series on the seven synonyms for God.

So Reese posted this quiz on her site (and if you’ve never read her blog, you really, really should – I’m gonna work on getting some videos on there) anyway, back in high school we used to religiously take any quiz Cosmo ever published. Quizzes are great. They’re like mini psych-evaluations. So, according to cookingtohoookup.com (???) I’m an “Indie Girl”.

It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party.

— Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

I really need to read High Fidelity!

You can boil the Indie Girl down to two words: cultural literacy. Or how about these two: media consumption. As the Gourmet Girl loves food and all that goes with it, the Indie Girl loves media: books, movies, music, and art. The good news is you don’t have to be rich, good-looking, or famous to win this girl’s heart. The bad news is she will judge you based on your music choices, the books you read, and the films you watch.

Hmmm….

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” is the start of the dummy text that designers use as a placeholder until they get the real copy. This site generates as much dummy text as you want in a flash.

This is my infamous vacation packing list. I first created this in elementary school, because being anal is something you’re just born with. It’s really a very simple concept, and the only times I’ve ever forgotten to pack something were the rare times that I didn’t use the list.

I’ve purchased two homes in less than two years and I created this form the first time, then revised it for the second round. It really helped me remember all of the places I was seeing with my realtor. Sometimes you’re in and out of a place so quickly that it’s just difficult to remember if it had all of the features that you want.
