Bringing "dudical!" back
Dudical! is an expression I remember hearing in elementary school. A clever combination of "dude!" and "radical!", it clearly suffered an untimely demise, because a Google search on it returns a paltry 523 results. I consider it my duty to...Posted 2007.11.12, 09:23 PT
Sudoku solver
Use this clever program to solve that sudoku that's got you stumped. Or, with some trial and error, use it to create your own. Here's my first attempt (click to enlarge and print):...Posted 2007.05.06, 16:00 PT

Your personal annual report
Wow. This guy made an annual report, à la some Fortune 500 company, except it's an annual report of his life. Scary, but it got me thinking: A lot of the data he uses to compile this is stuff we...Posted 2007.01.15, 00:50 PT
Peru photos online!

Alternatives to lawyering
So, I get an e-mail from my friend Adele the other day. We've known each other since high school, when we were co-editors of the student newspaper. She recently finished law school, and now she tells me she isn't so...Posted 2005.02.16, 23:57 PT

I'm all in
I have never been much of a gambler. In Vegas last year I clung to the nickel slots while Neil went high-rolling at the craps tables. But on a trip to Kansas City over the weekend, I was coaxed into...Posted 2005.01.24, 11:48 PT

Eric and Neil crash 'The Tonight Show'
My friend Neil and I managed to see a taping of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" at NBC studios in Burbank. Jay's guests were actor Mark Wahlberg, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and one of my all-time favorite musicians, Sarah...Posted 2004.07.15, 19:44 PT

On stage tonight: Strict Scrutiny and the Chilling Effects
I was sitting in my communication law class the other night, trying to make sense of all the legalese, and I got to thinking: Some of these terms would look great on a theater marquee or the cover of an...Posted 2004.06.30, 22:17 PT

'Bend it Like Beckham' meets 'The Matrix'
'Shaolin Soccer' is the Asian sensation that's not exactly sweeping the nation. The film's premise -- combining martial arts with soccer -- is so bizarre that I had to watch the trailer. Hilarious....Posted 2004.05.31, 22:05 PT

Rain, snow, sun: Which would you pick?
Compare these actual recent weather forecasts for my three "homes" and tell me which one looks best. (These are all from Tuesday, Feb. 10, but I am just getting around to posting them.) Mandeville, La. (where mom lives): Fly Creek,...Posted 2004.02.20, 22:50 PT

My dad and I spent the last two days making the 22-hour drive from New Orleans to Cooperstown, N.Y., in an old Dodge van. The jalopy survived the trip, thankfully, and we and our cargo arrived intact.Posted 2003.10.07, 12:16 PT
