Got a new bike today — planning on using it lightly around the city and at the beach.

Ted Turner was on Charlie Rose last night.

I’ll say it again — old rich men with something to say are one of favorite things in the world. They have the money to allow them to talk about whatever/whoever they want and not enough time left on earth to hold anything back.

Favorite exchange:

Charlie: People listen to you and the views you express.
Ted: They should. I think a lot and I’m smart.

Great coffee table book. Thanks Simon D!

Saw this play tonight at The Public Theater.

Acting from the leads Ellen Burstyn and Michael Shannon was amazing, story was very heavy.

Wire actor spotting in the audience: Major Rawls.

One of my favorite annual traditions is waking up on April 1st and poking around the web to see what websites with senses of humor have come up with.

Old mp3's

Pile says: Post the oldest (as in the date it was downloaded) MP3 on your computer. An easy way to do this is to sort by “Date Modified” in iTunes. Mine is: Live - I Alone

Mine is Led Zeppelin- Dyer Maker. Downloaded 11/2/97. (update — found an older one — U2’s One, 10/8/97).

Elephant Paints Self Portrait

I thought I liked elephants before, but WOWZA, now I really really like them. Also, I think this elephant is a better painter than me.

Am I the only skeptic here?
