I somehow (mysteriously) found some brand new Nintendo DS Lites at a local store. Technically, they’re not supposed to be selling these yet since June 11 is the official release date.

With that said, I stumbled up to the counter and picked one two up. One’s for a “friend”. :)

Being the true nerd [...]

But the weather-gods turned the furnace on pretty high out of the blue this past weekend in Illinois. I expect this weather in Arizona or Vegas or during the months of July/August, but not Memorial Day weekend. I was wearing a jacket last week if it tells you how quickly things changed.

I guess [...]

Let’s talk about my podcast, marusin.com stuffing…

You know you secretly love hearing me blabber about all things unimportant. I know it. I see the three downloads whenever I post one (ok, two since I should take myself out of the equation). I’ll admit that I unintentionally have made it difficult to subscribe [...]

Some very flashy spam I got today. Love the rounded corners and 2.0-ish colors. :)

I’ll admit that I was just looking for an excuse to use the ™ symbol next to Web 2.0™…  There I go again!  :)

I rushed out of the house this morning without my watch or wedding ring on. I swear I’ve freaked out about a zillion times that my watch and ring have fallen off. It’s a very strange feeling.

On a side note, I do think all of the women downtown are giving me a second look [...]

this seems to a pretty fitting song lately. I have to say that it’s one of my favorite songs done live by Jeff Tweedy and/or Wilco.

“We’ve Been Had” by Uncle Tupelo (off the Anodyne album)

There’s a guitar leaning on a Marshall stack Used to sound like the sun on the horizon Now I think we’ve been [...]

Yes, I know they broke up years ago, but all I have to show for them is a sticker that came in the Uncle Tupelo Anthology cd a couple of years back.

I would love to have another sticker or two and even a t-shirt. Anyone know where the hell I can find one? [...]

I haven’t been driving to work lately so I took the opportunity to record an episode of marusin.com stuffing.

In this show I: - Talk about my commuting as of late - Talk about how Metra riders are a strange bunch - Discuss going to the DaVinci Code this coming weekend (we haven’t been on a “date” in well [...]

I’ve scouted the perfect location.

If you are someone looking to open a coffee shop or expand upon your small/awesome existing chain (yes I’m talking to you, Intelligentsia), I cannot think of a better place than in the Civic Opera House or somewhere between Washington and Madison on the east-side of Wacker. I know several [...]

Not that I’m planning on buying one soon, but I’ve been interested in when the “smaller” MacBooks/MacBook Pro’s were going to be released. I love my current 15″ PowerBook, but sometimes wish that I went with the smaller model when I picked mine up. I used to have a 12″ iBook a couple [...]
