The New Spider-Man: Black, Hispanic, Gay...I'm the superhero with web shooters!

Nicole Atkins in D.C.!!

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I met singer/songwriter and all around awesome human being, Nicole Atkins at Som Records in Washington, D.C. She sounded awesome despite having no back-up instrumentals and the speaker system wasn't working and it was raining. Best part, after meeting her, she invited us to see her open for Fountains of Wayne at the Birchmere Music Hall in Alexandria, VA.

BTW, please excuse my unneeded back-up vocals on the video above.

Best Sunday Eva!

Progressive "Snapshot" Commercial - We Live in Interesting Times

It features a device called "Snapshot", which when installed in your car will allow Progressive to track things like your driving speed, sudden braking, etc., etc. in real time.

It's an interesting way to entice safe drivers to switch to progressive, but I have to say that I'm not sure how comfortable I am with my car insurance company know where I am at all times and what my driving habits are. We've already seen what large companies do with private information, the most recent examples being the phone hacking scandal at News Corp and the hacking of the PS3 network.

I'm sure Progressive has taken the implications of the device into consideration. Only the market will decide if this is the sort of road we're willing to go down.
