  1. "I have a confession" http://bit.ly/115wmD [comic]
  2. Bit the bullet and bought Houdini Apprentice HD. I know some Houdini from my school days, but it's been a long, long time.
  3. @CaptainRoto Silence of the Lambs-- when the human-skin-mask that was George W. Bush was peeled away... Rove's on Fox News!
  4. @esdi It's huge, though that reader's choice list would have been swayed further if Oprah's Book Club knew about it. Can't imagine...
  5. @esdi Nnnnoooooooo! Don't join the cult of Ayn Rand! It's up there with the cult of Hubbard!!!!
  6. If I had a summer, I'd get back to work on this list: http://bit.ly/Uytm2
  7. Photo: Today at work our Afx expert, Buddy, needed eye reference of a particular contact. I ran home and... http://tumblr.com/xfv2d6ab7
  8. Cool game artwork in Unreal3 engine http://bit.ly/aQjLv
  9. @middleofacloud I'm hugely pro-decriminalization, _especially for cannabis_, but to argue great health and economic benefits is irrational.
  10. @PowerLlama If tbco and alcohol cannot be taxed enough to cover the health related costs, can mj. And that's just one cost that falls short.
  11. @PowerLlama I thought it hugely misleading. How many people saw the 1.4 billion number and thought "holy shit, we'll be making bank!"
  12. @PowerLlama MJ arguments should be framed around the right to use. Just like alc and tbc. Arguments on misunderstood economics make me sad.
  13. @PowerLlama MJ is presented as an economic boon. It's not unless the state also sells it. Taxes are insufficient for alc, tbco, and mj
  14. @PowerLlama Alcohol has a steep, steep cost too. I don't think they should make the tax argument if they don't consider all the variables.
  15. @PowerLlama Keep in mind tobacco has a cost in CA of over $7 billion in health care alone. CA probably gets $1.3 billion in cig taxes :(
  16. Photo: Shooting the video. http://tumblr.com/xfv2cs07o
  17. @TheEditDoctor Hahaha awesome.
  18. They're shooting a Christina Aguilera video in front of my building. She's tiny.
  19. @savantemeritus is finally on flickr! http://www.flickr.com/photo...
  20. @PowerLlama Take that back Austin! [whispers] he doesn't mean that internet. he doesn't mean that....
