Friday Funnies XVIII
This clip gets a Friday Funnies nod from me for several reasons. I gave Kelly a rug because it was rolled up serving no purpose in the house, and we joked all weekend in Chicago about how it ties the whole room together in his condo. Brilliant. Plus, a Pixelated Nod to Jeff Bridges for […]
When PR Companies Go Crazy
Oh. Hell. Yes. Those are frickin night vision goggles my friends. And they are real. Last year I wrote about a PR company for a video game that went a little haywire with its promotional materials. That was an instance where a PR company went crazy in a bad way (though my coworkers have all […]

My column from the first week of the new year. The games I reviewed were Bayonetta and Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers. […]
My Childhood, Bastardized
Holy crap, I’m gonna have to start a whole new blog purely dedicated to all the ways Hollywood is screwing around with my childhood in the present day. Previously I’ve discussed the Karate Kid remake, the new Robin Hood movie and even older topics like the GI Joe movie and Transformers. Today’s desecration of my […]
My Work, Realized
I’ve been working on this project for more than a year. Among the hundreds of pieces of designed work I do and the conferences and everything else, one project for CFED has been on my plate since December of 2008. And that is the redesign of our website. Finally, at 9:30 p.m. Friday, we launched […]
What I’ve Read (sorta): Where Men Win Glory

Friday Funnies XVII
Last weekend as I prepared for returning to work, I ended up watching Goodfellas twice. Normally I think the funniest scene in the movie is when Ray Liotta pistol whips the hell out of that guy. But for some reason I found this scene wildly hilarious, when Pesci does his best crazy guy schtick. I […]
Oh. Crap.
I am not a superstitious guy. At least, I don’t think I am. But this is going to test me for sure. If you don’t know, there is a theory called the Sports Illustrated Cover Jinx. And now I really only care because John Wall has made the cover of SI. And if this means […]
What I’ve Watched: Up in the Air
The Campbell holiday tradition continues, this time with the Clooney flick, Up in the Air. Like most movie-going folk, I am a Clooney fan. He’s fantastic when being in serious films like “Good Night and Good Luck” or when hamming it up and being a good sport like in “Oceans Eleven.” This movie has a […]
