Posted for two reasons:

Kick-butt song. It ticks multiple boxes for me — male+female vocals and harmonies, background “woo-hoo-hoo”s, really upfront bass playing, and some Moog. Just a catchy, fun, really simple song. I really like it.
I bought this song from the iTunes Store on my phone today (proof!) and listened to it a couple of times, but when I went home and sync’d my phone with my computer (which I do, mostly for podcast syncing shut up), the song disappeared. It’s not in my iTunes library on my computer and it’s not on my phone any more. I even went “Store” → “Check for Available Downloads…” in iTunes and got back zip. So I don’t know what happened. It’s just a buck-seventy, so I guess can live with it, but still — weird. Chalk it up to iCloud or something? I don’t know.

First haircut in about nine months (yeah, I know). Feels good. (I wish I could grow a real beard.)

As a child Coppola was a mediocre student but was very much interested in technology and engineering; so much, in fact, that his friends nicknamed him “Science”.

Wikipedia should just rewrite that sentence:

As a kid, Coppola was friends with dummos!

“Hey, France-o! I’m gonna call you Science on account of you like science!”

Aviators or: Today on the Bus

🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
Oh, cute girl in aviators,
I know there’s no way-viators
You’ll hear what I say-viators
And not go “ha, gay”-viators.
But still, if I may-viators,
If I had my way-viators,
I would like to say-viators,
“I think you’re OK”-viators.
🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵

(I haven’t slept in a while. And I watched When Harry Met Sally this morning. And, seriously, I have no idea how I get literally anything done.)

Paul Feig Walks Us Through Freaks and Geeks (Part 1 of 5)

I’ve Instapaper’d this, but I’m 110% sure it’s going to be great. I loved loved loved when The AV Club did something similar with Dan Harmon for Season 2 of Community.

Here’s the thing. WW and I have a little arrangement. Every time he posts photos he took with this camera, I Like the hell out of them because they are literally the greatest and also the coolest. He might not quote-unquote “know” about our deal, but it’s totally a thing.

Andy Kaufman — “I Trusted You”

I feel like there’s a market for this, but with Bruce Springsteen singing “night after night after night after night…”.

Either something’s wrong with my internet connection, or Lucas has started using his iChat status to mess with me.

This is like that annoying “quiz” that comes up before a movie at the Theatre. People are actually willing to pay money for this?

I love the internet.

“There were 742 notifications while you were away”

This is what happens when you you’ve gotta get out the door and you just can’t be bothered setting up a remote Git repository right now, so you move the project to Dropbox for the day.
