Trent Reznor just keeps on giving. More freebs, this time more rock. Get it before their servers collapse again.
2008.04.22

The most disturbing newspaper correction ... in the history of the universe? Scroll down to the bottom to read it. If I were the copydesk that's the kind of thing I'd leave in there to get someone fired.
2008.04.17

2008.04.14
10 unusual bicycle designs. Can they not do a better job covering the chain?
2008.04.14
Nina Garcia is auf'd! The poor show is falling apart before our very eyes. On the other hand ... she wasn't my favorite.
2008.04.12
Lovejoy Vodka has some smokin' hot packaging. Who *are* these people that get to design labels for vodka and wine? There must be, like, 3 of them in the world. Lucky bastards.
2008.04.12
I've been in the market for a new purse/bag for a while. In a cruel twist of fate it turns out
when I actually find one I like it runs about $180. And from Urban Outfitters? Really?

Newsroom reductions. Sure you've all read about them but seeing it is a whole different story. I want, want, want to do this here but would probably get fired by the grumpy old coots who keep their doors constantly closed. [
omg, I tooootally didn't just say that...]
2008.04.10
Someone bend her over already. And get her a new stylist while you're at it.

That must be some vacation for the Vice Prez to be grinning like that. Check out the
REFELCTION in his sunglasses, just to clarify. So busted.
2008.04.09
Coffee cuff. Way cute but maybe not $68 dollars cute. In fact $15 dollars cute might even be pushing it. Plus it's not even pink.
2008.04.09
Ringo Starr beheaded. Poor guy always gets the short end.
2008.04.09

Project Runway -- SOLD! For the love of all that's holy.
2008.04.08
Portishead on, well, Portishead. "When you come back you don't want to tickle people under the chin -- you know what I mean?" I'm not saying I've *heard* this album in its entirety but if I *had* heard it I'd probably say it's the most brilliant thing.
2008.04.07
What all those handsignals on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange mean. Yeah but what are the *secret* signals? Cuz I know they must have a whole buncha them.

Domodress. Sadly I can think of at least 3 men off the top of my head who are getting a stiff nerd-on right now.
2008.04.04
Holy crap the Clintons have a lot of commas and zeros on their tax returns from the past 7 years. On second thought you may not want to follow that link. It'll only depress you if you haven't done your taxes yet.
2008.04.04
Wonderbra there to save the day. For all shapes and sizes. Any time. Any where.

Her album 'Lure the Fox' is making me infinitely better today. 2008.04.01
I'm home from work today which has given me time to enjoy, surprisingly,
the brand spankin' new album from The Black Keys 'Attack & Release'. DJ Danger Mouse produced (hardly noticeable, yet AWESOME).
