The most exciting parts of last night’s Super Bowl for me were Joe Namath’s coin toss and Bruno Mars’s halftime show featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The game interested me less than usual — I wasn’t even sure that was possible — and I was underwhelmed by a lot of the ads. Radio Shack’s…

The Only Way to Make Me Like a Birkin Bag
My new friend Kanye West has made up for his too-safe engagement-ring choice by giving fiancee Kim Kardashian an Hermes Birkin bag that was painted by artist George Condo (Condo previously worked on album covers for Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy). Teh Interweb seems to have its collective knickers in a twist over this,…
Year in Review: Concert Photos From 2013
Someone said to me recently, “You go to SOOOO many concerts,” but I don’t think I’ve seen all THAT many this year. I’m not going to shows every week or checking out every up-and-coming performer. I know people who do that. That said, I do attend more concerts now than I did in my early…

The Mandela Sign Language Scandal and Better Options
Have you seen the story about the fake sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s funeral? Well, even if you have, you haven’t REALLY experienced the story unless you’ve read Michael K’s version on Dlisted. I will not be satisfied until Michael K takes over all reporting for CNN, Fox News, the New York Times and…
On the Town: Macklemore at the Theater at MSG
After years of taking shiteous concert photos followed by some sporadic but significant improvement (see Eminem, Skylar Grey, Beyonce and Rihanna … but not Depeche Mode), I now go into full-on photojournalist mode at concerts. On one hand, I want to just enjoy the concert. On the other hand, I feel compelled to make up…
Stewie Griffin, Justin Bieber and the Week in Review
In May 2011, I blogged about Justin Bieber’s Stewie Griffin bling. How in the world did I miss Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane chatting with Conan O’Brien — in Stewie’s voice — about the necklace later that year? Wow, Bieber fever is actually very dangerous! I don’t want you to miss anything the way I…
Introducing Eryn and the New Instagram Account
As I mentioned earlier this week, I have hired my very first full-time employee after eight years in business. Meet Eryn Patton! Eryn says her hobbies are “Netflix-ing, yoga on Saturdays, obsessing over miniature dachshunds, reading, constantly seeking the perfect cup of coffee, sketching, and hunting for treasures in thrift stores.” Eryn recently graduated from Auburn…
What Wendy Wore: Business Algorithms and Birthday Math
I was reading music magazine The Fader’s cover story on rapper Mac Miller and the first anecdote resonated with me. The story starts with Miller hunting for copies of his second album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, in Target, the day after the album’s release. The store nearest his home in Los Angeles had…
If There’s a Blackout, Blame FitzRoy for Pulling the Plug
I’ve already posted these pictures on a couple of my social-media outlets, but they’re so good I have to share them again here. Gorgeous blogger/designer/stylist Stacy Lomman took this picture of FitzRoy the cat. I immediately saw a similarity to one of the best characters in one of the best movies of all time ……
