Sugar mommies, daddies and babies

My brilliant plan is to quit my job and find myself a sugar mommy (sister site). I would not be mentioning this or even know of this site if it were not for NPR’s Marketplace. Classic!

The Vanity Fair article “Simpson Family Values” has quotes from pretty much anyone ever involved on the show. An interesting read, even if you think the show’s sucked since season 9.

Next Phase of Personal Computers

Do you reminisce about old-school table-top arcade games? Dig the movie “Minority Report”’s Techie scenes? Have easy access to $5000 and $10,000?

If you’re in NYC on June 9, go to the Sheraton NY Hotel and Towers for a public viewing of SURFACE. The Seattle PI has videos not shown on the MS site.

In the meantime, catch the segment reporter hard at work and the same reporter chatting with a church spokesman.

Estus Pirkle

Did you know Estus Pirkle (he of the “Communism Is Good” samples that Negativland loved to use) was involved in films? “If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?” is particularly amazing. Remember, dancing is evil and communists are taking over!
