best. reunion. ever.

thank god for youtube. (don't tell the guys over at blip.tv that I said that)



the police...possibly the greatest rock trio of all time...rocked last night's grammy awards...proving that the old guys still have it. (of course, i never doubted that sting still had it.) special shout-out to stuart copeland and his awesome, grinning face--was he having the best time ever or what?!

presale tickets for their 2007 reunion tour (!!) go on sale tomorrow, february 13th. and i'm not ashamed to admit that i would tease my hair and go all flashdance-style for a pair of them.

This Internet Thing is Going to be HUGE

seriously.



oh Web 2.0...how you terrify and fascinate me all at the same time. I'm not afraid to admit I'm afraid of you even as I'm violently attracted to you.

this fantastic short was created by Kansas State University professor Michael Wesch--part of the Digital Ethnography working group there. As part of his research, Wesch examines the impacts of digital technology on human interaction.

just in time for valentine's day...

Archaeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, hugging each other.
there's something so tragic and yet so inspiring about something like this...maybe it's just the hopeless romantic in me...but what a remarkable thing to be buried for thousands of years alongside a person you adore. even in death, love seems to triumph.

oy. what's gotten into me?

oh...and by the way...yes. i'm back.

sad robot...



GM's sad robot ad was arguably the best ad of this year's Super Bowl. I feel so bad for the little guy. He kills me!

Of course...robotsploitation is a definite weak spot of mine. I couldn't finish AI because I couldn't bear watching the kids tease the teddy bear. I'm such a dork.
