• A Few of My Favorite Things: Quilted Coffee Cuff

  I like things. I have a bit of a shopping problem; in my 26 years I've acquired a lot of useless crap. But every once in a while I find a gem that I will hold on to for a long, long time. And I want to share these things with you. So here you have it, a new Friday feature: A Few of My Favorite Things. Read More...

• John Hodgman Has Great Taste In Women

  We've known John Hodgman since the old days, the pre-Daily Show, pre-PC guy in the Mac-PC commercials, even pre "The Areas of My Expertise," his bestselling fake almanac.

• Sex Blogger Fired From Lesser Sex Blog

  We're pretty good at writing about sex. One of the reasons for that is that we actually know something about it, apparently unlike Mike Cherico, who was fired from Glamour Magazine's Man Needs Date, which we will not be linking to. The Post and other sources already covered this, but none of them got down and dirty with the smutty details like Jezebel did... Read More...

• Scanner Highs and Lows: Michael McDonald Still Hasn't Called

  Damn, this was a busy week. We fell in and out of love, we traveled, we encountered racism, and as always, we saw some boobs. Oh, and story of our lives: he never called. Read More...
