On KU’s loss →
I may have gone to school in Iowa, but I have been a KU fan my entire life. I remember Danny and the Miracles in 1988 and I was at the Final Four in 1993 (the one where Chris Webber call the…

I'm unplugging for a whole day
Starting tonight at sundown, I will not check my email, text messages, Twitter, Facebook for 24 hours. I plan to spend a fair amount of it sleeping and watching basketball, but it will be a challenge nonetheless.
So we will see if I can make it happen…

Analyst: Palm Shares Headed to $0 →
It may finally be time for me to succumb and buy an Android phone (even though I’m not terribly impressed with the user interface…it’s not nearly as elegant as the iPhone OS or Palm’s webOS) since it appears that my Palm Pre is going to be worthless by next year.
Is it too much to ask for a Sprint iPhone?
“Where’s the “complete mess” Soup?”
– rillawafers in regards to Funny or Die
I love Funny or Die’s content, their videos are some of the best on the web, but I hate going to their website. First, I hate the black background, it’s murder on my eyes, and makes a lot of what is slapped on top of it hard to read. The use of whitespace is...

One of the reasons that I’m excited about working downtown is that I feel like I will have more opportunity to walk around the city and take photographs. A few weeks back, I stumbled upon

Automatic blog for the ridiculously amazing case.
“All he had was a packet of sketch comedy pieces,” Ms. Fey said in an e-mail...”
– Tina Fey, describing Donald Glover, who plays Troy on one of my favorite new shows, “Community”. Excellent piece on Glover from the NY Times: For Donald Glover, ‘Community’ Is Only Part of His Comedy

Some possible spoilers…
The season finale of Big Love was this past Sunday.

Nick Hornby's Oscar advice: →
Nick Hornby, one of my favorite (or favourite) authors and an Oscar-nominee, is getting back to work:
…and though I will miss being in the same room as Meryl Streep, it’s time to get back to work. It may not be what I do best (I’m actually pretty good at being in the same room as Meryl Streep), but it’s what I get paid for.
An Education was probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite movie out of...

“What makes it so good is all that you’re thinking about is how great it tastes,...”
– Anthony Bourdain on food bloggers (via soupsoup)
I love Anthony Bourdain. However, his book Kitchen Confidential convinced me that the glamorous TV chefs are nothing like real-life line cooks. It’s a great read.

Trailer park: Iron Man 2
Brand new trailer. With a bunch of killer cameos (Gary Shandling?!) and a lot more plot detail. Go ahead spoil some of it for yourself. It’s like ice cream before dinner.

So much awesome.

So, it’s one of my favorite weekends of the year — Oscar Weekend. And that means that we also finished up the Best Picture Showcase at AMC today.

"White space is an active element." →
“White space is to be regarded as an active element, not a passive background,” wrote Jan Tschichold in 1930. And just as you cannot ignore white space, you cannot ignore silence, as it’s the white space of conversations.
…
White space is an active element.
Great advice for both design and life. Also, if you aren’t reading Bobulate, you’re missing some amazing writing.

Tumblr Pages
Now that Tumblr has pages, it may be time to permanently make the switch. I just gotta figure out how to link back to all my Wordpress archives that already exist.

My brother Jake turns 30 today.
Jake’s one of the funniest people I know and he just so happens to be one of my best friends. I’m lucky like that…to get along with my brother so well.
