Safe Trip, Gwai Lo!
Richard “Just a Gwai Lo” Eriksson,
who’s been crashing on my couch for the past couple of days, returns to
“Vangroovy” this afternoon. It was good meeting the guy behind the
blog, Richard, and I hope you had a fun time here!
(For those of you curious as to what kind of place I live in — Future
Mother- and Father-in-Law, I’m lookin’ at you — come take a look at this entry.)
My thanks to Rannie, Eldon, Paul and especially Maria and Liz
(with high-larious stories about her new “adult entertainment” tech
support job) for coming out to Tequila Bookworm and helping me
entertain Richard!
[via ellenfeiss.net] I stumbled across this unreleased “Switch”
advertisement [1.7 MB QuickTime, enclosure] featuring the Stoner
Princess of the Macintosh, Ellen Feiss, slurring the praises of her
Powerbook G4. She doesn’t seem as stoned as she did in the ad that made her
famous, but she still sounds like everyone at Burning Man or the Om
Festival.
They should’ve given her a cameo on Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

Today’s Developer Blog Entries
I met Deenster a little over five years ago when we were both working
at OpenCola during those heady dot-com years. A bit later — four years
ago today, Deenster started her own blog, pony, which has been going
strong ever since. I — and a number of other pony readers — are
taking this day to congratulate Deenster on four years of pony by
writing Four Things About Deenster. Here are mine:
1. Deenster is a very good cook; it is always a joy and privilege to be invited to her place for dinner parties.
2. I think she tried to set me up with her mom. I warned her of the
terrible consequences, the worst being a scenario in which she would be
staying at her mom’s place one night. I would emerge from her mom’s
room wearing naught but a towel and smile, look at her and say “who’s
your daddy now?”
3. She once asked me: if had to have sex with one of the OpenCola
founders — Grad Conn, John Henson or Cory Doctorow — which would
would it be and why? I believe my answer, humourous as it was, has
scarred her for life.
4. She is a warm, kind and open-minded person and will not judge you for your bad dental hygiene. or hillbilly demeanor.
Happy anniversary, Deenster!

Make-up For Food
A couple of Fridays ago, after doing the opening stand-up act for Peril from Beyond Space,
I joined Scott Watkins and company at a restaurant/bar across the
street. There, I noticed something unusual about the label on the
bottle of Heinz ketchup that was sitting on the table…
“Hides grill marks?” Since when were grill marks unsightly?
