I think there’s a good possibility that Schwarzenegger may never be taken seriously as a politician
Earlier this afternoon I learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger, the thirty-eighth and freshly former governor of California and the star of Jingle All the Way, will be appearing at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on the twenty-sixth as part of a Canadian speaking tour. Which is good news, I suppose, because if nothing else, he’s a […]

We’re doing Everyone’s a DJ on the third Saturday this month, not the second
Speaking of Everyone’s a DJ, I got a call from Disgraceland over the holidays. Because there are five Saturdays this month instead of four, they asked if we could move the party from the eighth to the fifteen.

Link of the Day: Type Books

The first day of the new year
For me, it’s been a lazy one, and I guess that’s the way it’s supposed to go. As much as I’d like to make every day count, there are just certain days when you don’t get up to much. Frankly, I’m not very good at letting myself have one of those days every now and […]
