    Marc and I went to the Star Wars Celebration IV at the Los Angeles Convention Center tonight, but we left early because of a stupid bomb scare during the Celebration Opening event at 7:00 pm. Some stupid, fat, pimply 40-year old dressed up in Star Wars regalia probably screamed out…

    I’ve been down in Long Beach for the Society for Information Display (SID) conference this week. I’ve been helping out DigiDelve, a Bay Area startup with some great OLED-based technologies. In and out of Internet coverage, I haven’t been keeping up with the news lately. I just read that Riis…

    I read in the Stanford Daily today that five freshman girls from Donner got the top pick in the housing draw: lucky number five. They’ll be living in Bob next year. The Housing Draw was very different when I was a student. Back in the day, you wrote out your…

    Great coverage on the 10-day Landis hearings in Malibu on Trust But Verify. The title of the site sums up my thoughts on the case. I’d like to believe Landis, but I want to see some hard proof of wrongdoing on the part of drug testing authorities.
