The Pentagon Memorial will be inaugurated tomorrow seven years after 9/11. I think it’s thoughtful, well designed and absolutely beautiful at night. Take a look for yourself.

My favorite new drink is a chocolate malted milk martini from Co Co Sala. MMM! I’d have to go to AA if I could have these everyday.

I’ve assimilated.

You know I’ve realized that I like my new bluetooth headset a little too much…I was wearing it all day on Saturday when running around town…OMG I’ve become THAT guy; the one with the bluetooth headset clamped to me like a Borg implant. To complete the effect, I should start popping my collars so I can be a total douchebag.

Wipeout! Looks like I’m not the only one liking this show since it won its time spot last week. Why do I get so giddy watching people falling off an obstacle and going SPLAT into the mud? I think it’s a visceral, competitive thing with me. Oh and I’m sadistic. Can’t wait for tonite’s episode.

» NYC vs. Liberty City

This amazing Flickr photoset compares photos of NYC and Liberty City portrayed in Grand Theft Auto IV. Even if you don’t like or play videogames, you have to appreciate the sheer amount of detail and work that went into recreating a faux NY. Liberty City has an edgier, sarcastic sense of humor but some of the comparison shots are uncanny.

Grand Theft Blotto?

I love playing GTA IV and one of my favorite parts of the game is stumbling around drunk and trying to drive. I know. Not politically correct but it’s a game! Games are meant as an escape to let you do things you wouldn’t think about doing in the real world. Thus, while I can’t claim that I’ve never been drunk, I haven’t been stumbling drunk like the protagonist in this game. So watch the video and enjoy it for what it’s worth.

Finally a beautiful, rain-free day in DC. Taken from our office window.

“ Are the people that cruise slowly in the left lane of the highway the same clueless ones that stand on the left side of the escalator. All signs point to YES.
