Oh My Lord, It’s Karaoke
Forget its supposed origins in Japan; Karaoke is the child of a conspiracy between small, boring towns and bars. Think about it: small towns stay lame intentionally so that being thrown up on stage in front of a bunch of people that probably hate you is not so bad considering your nightlife alternatives are [...]
I hate the Triangle
I’ve hated the Triangle since construction on the unwieldy thing began. I drive by it basically every day and wondered if it was going to get any better. It hasn’t. I thought I was alone in my revulsion for the Triangle, so I was glad to stumble across an awesome new urban design blog that [...]

The Internet loves Tamara Hoover
We didn’t realize what a big deal the Tamara Hoover story was until we posted our snarky little post a few days ago. After doing so, our servers got absolutely hammered by people probably searching for (now removed) photos of the Austin school teacher.
Jeff Beckham reports that “Tamara Hoover” has had the #1 slot for [...]

Tommy Pallotta has a blog
A SCANNER DARKLY is indirectly responsible for getting me to relocate to Austin in the first place, so despite mixed emotions, I will always have a lot of love in my heart for the movie. So I was definitely interested to learn that one of the SCANNER producers, Tommy Pallotta has started a blog to [...]
Robots are hard at work
