AMC on 84th Street

Umm, LOOK AT THESE MOVIE THEATRE SEATS! 

These are the newly renovated theatre seats at an AMC on the Upper West Side (on 84th Street). Is this a fucking joke? Can this be reality? How can this sort of unholy cinema kindness happen overnight? I don't know whose idea this was, but wow. I'm going here immediately and will report back on how it was. You can read about all the other renovations at the theatre here, if you want.

Instant No Button

I wouldn't call myself a Star Wars fan, but this page was the very first one I bookmarked on the internet years ago. Why this one? I don't know, I've never been very smart. I'm pretty sure the second site I bookmarked was ArchieComics.com, so I think you can get a sense of my priorities at that time.

I don't use this button as often as I used to, but it can come in handy in certain situations and might still be relevant today. Feel free to bookmark. There's also an app for it (of course there is).

Ray Charles Speed Painting

I know this is an old video, but I'm still wowed by it.

Family Video

Sometimes I don't talk enough on here about how great my family is. Expect that to change.

This is my brother Gary and his sweeter than life son (my nephew) Camden (with a brief appearance by my beautiful niece Maya). 

Koala & Lunch

Sometimes this is all you need to see.

The Whiskey Wedge

The purpose of this glass? You can keep your whiskey cold without watering it down. When you order one set ($15), it includes an old fashioned whiskey glass and a silicone mold. You put some water in the glass, insert the mold, then freeze. The ice "forms into a wedge and, similar to a glacier, melts slowly due to the reduced amount of surface area."

At first this sounded like a lot of effort to me, but if you have at least one drink a night when you come home from work, if this is waiting for you in a freezer? That's pretty sweet to come home to. Ya know, if you're into that kind of thing. You can buy a set over here. 

Hidden Pinecone Key

Put your spare key in a medicine bottle, glue a pinecone (or a rock) on top, then put the bottle in your yard. If you have a garden, you can bury the white part in some dirt and voila. Love this idea so much. Although it screams of Martha Stewart, I actually heard about it through Factory Direct Craft.
