Bill Maher challenges Matt Taibbi on Goldman Sachs. (Crooks and Liars via brooklynmutt)
I like Matt Taibbi. He tends to approach the articles he really cares about with this “Hey, wait a minute! What the fuck!?” attitude that most journalists are too jaded to execute.
That said, I think that singling out Goldman is slightly unfair. I said somewhere on the...
“Visual Effects artists in general are treated like interchangeable parts and are...”
– Jeffrey Okun on Industry Buzz (via ericalba)
Yeah, no kidding. On good days we’re like Dry Cleaners. Do a good job and make it convenient, and people come back again and again because you’re reliable and easy and not too expensive.
Sometimes, though, there’s a nasty stain. We...

I used to contribute to a website on which I would make fun of bad typefaces in a feature I called “Bad Font of the Week”. At one point I was working on a post that would have mocked a font from Emigre, a well known and generally well regarded...
Sorry California →
Hardly a day goes by where I don’t spend a few minutes wishing I were back in CA, but articles like this remind me that the grass isn’t always greener (though, to be fair, I can’t actually remember the last time I saw grass in NY).
Arnold seems to have fucked the CA economy, and life will be a lot less fun in my favorite state for the next little while. Hopefully things will...
Correcting the Internet: Flack vs. Flak →
Listen up numbskulls, it’s time to put on my pedant cap again and correct your grammar.

2. publicity. –verb (used without object) 3. to serve as a press agent or publicist: to flack for a new rock group.

I’m retarded. I used to have the trial version on my computer. Then my brother gave me a legit copy. So I tried to install. But it said it was already installed. So like a dumbass, I dragged it to the trash and emptied it, not knowing that there was an uninstall utility. But it’s still saying that the old one is installed. Someone fix this.
Good evening. Try going into the Library...

So back in the day I used to download a lot of music illegally. Not napster, napster was for amateurs. I was into Hotline, which (before Audiogalaxy even) allowed you to download entire albums from a single server, and post your own if you were feeling generous. One of the servers I frequented had a lot of live mixes, in particular they had an extensive collection of BBC Essential Mixes, and...
