5 Things I Love for Friday #79

Originally posted on August 03, 2007

  1. Font Clock - I admit to having a soft spot for clocks and timepiece design. No need to say much more: this clock is pure hotness. Too bad it’s so damned expensive.
  2. True Stories by Rob Corddry: Things I Can See Sitting in Seat 6A - The link goes to a non-work safe site, but that’s the print view, so all text no t’n’a. Corddry, arguably my favorite faux-anchor from The Daily Show is apparently quite the writer. His personality and humor that define him in meatspace also shines right through in his prose. ” The “fly-over” states. I’m glad I’m flying over them. No offense if you live there. On second thought, F**K you.”
  3. Trois Pistoles strong dark ale - Whoa buddy. This beer rocks. I had been saving a corked 22 oz bomber for awhile, and last night decided to break it open. Sweet, but not cloyingly so. Malty but not overpowering. No hot alcohol nose. Overall a wonderfully balanced dark beer. I really was expecting it to be too port-like, thick and sweet. Don’t tell The Wife™ but I’m getting another one.
  4. Faceball - I so want to get a game or twelve going here with my co-workers. I could be the people’s champ. Problem is, no one here would find the humor in it. Where are Gillian and Drew when you need them? (be sure to watch the instructional videos)
  5. Interview with Jim James of My Morning Jacket [videos] - The lead singer of Louisville-based MMJ gives one of the more honest, raw and insightful interviews I’ve seen in a long time. You can see the Midwest charm in this guy’s thoughtful answers about the creative process. There’s a reason why they’re some of the best musicians (and live performers) out there today.

I'm bringing a beach ball Mon. morning. Whom shall I hit first? Linda?

No, dude that's an intern that sits outside my office. Screw the beach ball, I think the fax machine would suffice.

Did You Know?

Showing my age

I apparently inherited my father's hair genes. I started sprouting silver hairs around age nine. By this point, each time I get my hair cut my stylist has learned to just stop suggesting that I dye my hair. I'll be almost entirely silver any year now.

And it's silver. Not grey. OK?
