The 9:25 to Kalispell

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 20:56:11 -0400

It's been a long day. But that doesn't mean I'm tired. I'm on my way to Montana to hang out with John and help him move to Boise for grad school. I left Washington, DC from National* at about 2:45, even though it was supposed to leave at 2:25. I g...

Exorcists in Leesburg..

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 16:55:29 -0400

So, I was watching Showtime last night and jumped out of my seat after seeing this bit from the "Bullshit" episode on exorcisms and exorcists. I totally know exactly where this place is! Enjoy.

So, for the next few days I am in Atlanta, GA, editing the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four Tournament. My job will be to take the photos from our photographer, ingest them into our editing program, and then weed through them to finally send them ...

Pooping on Tombstones

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 19:42:56 -0400

Congressional Cemetery? Dog Park? We kept hearing about it, but never checked it out. Thought it was quite odd, but, this is DC, right? Well, yesterday we made the short 1 mile trip over to get the scoop. Lo and behold, there it was, a HUGE ceme...

2007: HAL's Retarded Sister

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:03:36 -0500

Apparently voice recognition has a long way to go, I'd recommend when you talk to a computer (yeah, that sounds weird right?), be concise, unlike Paul Seth whose "Umm's" and "I believes" whips American Airlines computer system into a binary short-...

Twitter, and why I can't have a private life.

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:03:38 -0500

So, I'm trying out Twitter, another Web 2.0 startup that is basically an away-message system for your life, or that is at least how I understand it. You can send updates from the web, IM, or via text messages on your cell phone. Its got great dept...

Why Barack Obama won't be elected

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 23:10:52 -0500

As much as I'd like to see it happen, it won't. Maybe its my complete lack of faith in middle America, or the fact that he's actually good choice, people always focus on the negative before they make their decisions. The above image is from the A...

The Number 23 doesn't add up

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 01:20:58 -0500

A conversation I dream to have : "Ok Joel, hand it over," I say glaring at his wallet, "Well, I can't, I've got more movies to destroy, more money to bilk from studios and audience members." "JOEL, hand over your director's license, and, while yo...

Reason #5,447 why I don't rent from Blockbuster

nobody@vox.com(kewlfocus) — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 00:29:35 -0500

Though I usually don't base my decisions on the actions of a few, this is pretty typical of a Cockbuster Blockbuster store manager, at least any that I have met. A customer in Astoria was allegedly forced to pay $10 and sign-up for Blockbuster Tot...
