JackHoya: Blog

Summary: Sports, gadgets, graphic design, and all things Boston are just a few of the topics you can read about here. Suffice it to say, if it catches my interest I'll write about it.

Well, it's not the Improper or anything, as her b/f Greg "Woodchipper" Schnitzbaum pointed out, but Erin was in a recent issue of Stuff @ Night. You can see her picture online2 (top row, middle photo).

It's like 6th grade all over again.

Kim just e-mailed me a silly little joke, but it put a smile on my face so I thought I'd share it with you.

Q: If you're American when you go into the bathroom and you're American when you come out of the bathroom, what are you while you're in the bathroom?

I think I'll pass.

Caffeinated beer? Ok, I can understand that (hell, I've been known to reach for a vodka Red Bull now and then). But glowing5 caffeinated beer? I don't get it.

Matrix + IMAX = Holy crap!

Someone's bringing The Matrix: Reloaded to an IMAX Theater6 nearby and someone (guess who?) can't wait to see it. Even though he hasn't seen it in a real theater yet (maybe I'll just wait for the IMAX version).
