Travelling at the Speed of Law

Every five years or so, I get a speeding ticket. Yesterday, as I was trying to get around some trolls going 60 in the far left lane, I sped up to the high-80’s/low 90’s. Just as I passed the trolls, I spotted a motorcycle cop up ahead.

He was polite, and only wrote me up for 80. “I’m cutting you a break, downgrading this by a couple’a categories.” Thanks for the break, officer.

Time for comedy club defensive driving, at the advice of my g/f.

MTV Gamemakers’ Roundtable

MTV Overdrive

I blogged about this recently…basically, MTV got some game designers together for a totally impromptu (and fun) series of conversations at an art gallery in LA called Gallery 1988. (The gallery was full of cool video game-related art, seen in the background.)

Takes a minute to load the Overdrive show, then there are pauses between segments, but it turned out great and was a blast.

If you’re interested, watch the short trailer for this really intense, upcoming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.

Then check out how quickly the collective petrochem companies are mobilizing (haha, pun intended) to smear the movie (and the environmental movement).

Seriously, check out both links. It’s funny (and sad).

Rockhound Cafe

I finally went into Rockhound Cafe for the first time, after passing it a dozen times and making a few cockhound jokes.

It’s on Barton Springs, just east of Lamar, near the old Filling Station.

The food I had was awesome. They use really good bread and greens for their sandwiches.

Also, great music.

Make sure you check out the patio deck upstairs.
