A Free Hand for Snacks and Gestures

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Fellow Californians: starting tomorrow, your cellphone conversations are going to be interrupted by driving.

As of July 1st, it will be a state law: your cellphone must be hands-free while driving. And if you’re under 18, no phone for you.

Darjeeling Limited T-Shirt

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

The only detail about the 2007 Wes Anderson film “The Darjeeling Limited” that I didn’t like: the absence of products and movie-related schwag.

I still want a Hotel Chevalier bathrobe, dammit.

Finally – Threadpit has released this cool Darjeeling Limited t-shirt.

I already bought one. I love the design and bright colors.

The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is proposing a vote for this November’s ballot – to rename San Francisco’s “Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant” the “George W. Bush Sewage Plant.”

God Bless America.
