Perfect Balance (Game) →
Rediculously simple-yet-addictive flash game. Up to level 23, still going.
Update: 5:55pm — Level 38. Time to go home.
The Big Game.
How could I have forgotten about the big game this Sunday? Every year, it sneaks up on me, catching me unawares… Until I have to run for the TiVo at the last moment. But not this time. I’m heading over to schedule it to record (in glorious Hi-Def) right now.
Puppy Bowl V is upon us, my friends.
It’s amazing that something so simple can be so enjoyable. But it is. It really...
"Strangers In Paradise" →
A fascinating yet-totally-creepy documentary about two women who become obsessed with Second Life, and the clash between their on-line fantasy life vs. everyday real life.
This has ensured I will never play an MMO Game, even if it does involve me being a Jedi Knight.
Sugalumps.
Watched this week’s “Flight of the Conchords” last night. This song has been in my head all morning. I downloaded it and was dancing to it on the way in. I think the breakbeat section kills me the most.
Anyways, in this clip, we find the Conchords facing a dillema that all struggling, poor artists go through: Whether or not to become male prostitutes in order to pay...

Article, written by John Updike in 1960, about Ted Williams last game at Fenway Park.

“Thanksgiving.2008 - 056” (via Kluv32)
Another whirlwind weekend passes us by. Had a really excellent time, starting with dinner at Pure Food and Wine on Friday (HIGHLY RECCOMENDED), and ending with a little “Dark Knight” Blu-Ray action on Sunday. Now it’s back to the grind, and things are busy busy busy at work. Alack and alas.

Freezing Falls (via solarnu)
Had an interesting moment yesterday; I found out a guy who works in my office just happened to be going to Ithaca for the weekend. He’s never been (I think it’s for a master class or a concert or somesuchthing).
In five minutes I had to quickly give him a run-down on what to expect: He’s taking the Short Line, so it’ll be a fairly long,...

Vice Presidential Handlers Lure Cheney Into Traveling Crate — The Onion:
A team of nine specially trained handlers have successfully lured outgoing vice president Dick Cheney into a reinforced steel traveling crate in order to transport him back to his permanent enclosure in Casper, WY, official sources reported Monday. “He’s a smart one. Once he sees the crate, he gets pretty...
Prez Obama (from Frants)
frants:
Was in a bar in Brooklyn with no reception, so unable to post the picture of joyousness. I’ll keep this brief:
Finally.
My fave line: To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.
My next fave line: We are a nation of Christians and Muslims,...
“Funky President” by James Brown.
Site Transferrences.
Waiting for DNS to propogate.
Sounds like something that used to flash across the screen when I was loading up “The Sims”.
Work faster, internet!

...And Drill A Tiny Hole Into Your Head.
Getting crushed on this lovely Monday back to work. Forgot how enjoyable it is having to publish two scripts on the same day and making sure that they get out before production wraps (especially when production is in Europe). Oi.
Great weekend in Lanco, though. Had a great time with the fam, as usual. Farmers’ Market, shops, food, drink, etc. We even introduced Steve & Kate to...
It's the Room, the Sun and the Sky.
Well, we’ve hit the coldest day of the verycold week here in NYC. Thank the maker for my Patagonia layers, keeping me right and warm.
Heading to PA tonight with Hydro, Stevie C. and Kate. We’ve got a nice little weekend planned to complete some some of their planning objectives — along with many opportunities for Lager, food, and copious amounts of four-player “Rock...

The site may go up and down over the next few days, intermittently, as we get the domain and hosting/forwarding all set up. For now, you can reach the blog proper by going directly to ithacamafia.tumblr.com. Once things are fixed up and running smoothly, Ithacamafia.com will take you directly to here once again.
That it all.

Take the vocal track from David Lee Roth’s “Runnin’ With The Devil”, and pump it into the below-mentioned abortion known as Microsoft’s Songsmith, and BEHOLD.
From Frants’ new blog. The Songsmith video he posted yesterday freaked me out and I could only take about a minute of it — but you really must check out the results for DLR.

This just made my day a bit brighter. (Or should I say darker?)
Check out the new 5-song EP from Former/Future. →
A band with Ithaca roots, including our very own Duck on bass — well worth checking out. Great stuff.

Kluv: So, how giddy ARE you right now?
Frants: It's okay I guess
Kluv: How long until you start up with the mobile porn?
Frants: 10 minutes ago
Kluv: That's my boy.
(Dawning of A) New Era.
As you can see, I’ve decided to trim things down a bit. Entering our ninth year (oh, how time flies!) of action, there doesn’t seem a need to keep around all those excess bits of the site we used to have. Thus, the transition to a tumbleblog layout.
Facebook and other sites have done everything we origionally wanted to do through the Mafia site wayyyyyy back when we started it:...
“I want THIS to go HERE.”
