    picture this.

    I wonder if you’re feeling these days like I do when KCRW is doing their membership drive, and every time I turn to the station I have to listen to thirty minutes of why they need my money, and how donors keep the station alive, and without my cash there would be no NPR and…

  • lately…

    My days look like: coffee, dewey, clean, drive, book, work, dewey, write, book, semi-lunch, work, dewey, book, work, work, write, think, drink, read, dewey, sleep. (As opposed to Sara’s, which looks like: House, House, House, House, House, House, House, House, House. I have seen her exactly once since the strike ended, and that was late…

  • sniff! sniff! (nearing the ugly cry…)

    We just broke $4000 for the Rockhouse Foundation, and we’ve sent over 620 books to the Children’s Institute. In one week! Thanks, 241 cool kids! Just a friendly reminder that today’s the last day to donate to be entered to win a signed copy of Rob’s book.

  • Rob’s book.

    I’ve been staying up late reading this. Rob, your book is so good. It’s a unique experience, reading a memoir of someone whose life you’ve been following for years through his words. Rob: visualize Oprah. I want to see you on her couch. Schuyler’s Monster: A Father’s Journey with His Wordless Daughter, by “Robert Rummel-Hudsooooooooooooooon!”

  • Look who found us…

    Posted in Dewey comments: Yes, we are on to you! :-) THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING! You definitely freaked me out with the sudden pile of amazon boxes showing up at my cubicle! For nearly 2 days we’ve been like little detectives trying to figure out how these books…

  • yay, you. (and hey, YOU.)

    Thanks for the link, Whitney! It’s Day Five of the book drive, and we’ve sent 451 books, and over $2700 to two libraries in need (not counting the Glarkware Dewey t-shirts, which will be tallied once the NoN sale is over). I’m hoping we can hit $3000 today for Rockhouse, and 525 books for CI.…

  • mos def, michel gondry and standing still at concerts: Stuff White People Like.

    I’m sure I’m the last person to link to this. Stuff White People Like. (read the entries, skip the comments. don’t ruin it for yourself.)

  • An Open Invitation to George Clooney.

    Anytime. Anytime, Mr. Clooney. It doesn’t have to be dinner, although I make an excellent whatever-you-want-to-eat. Lunch. Coffee. I have three different ways to make coffee at arm’s reach right now. You could come for breakfast. A glass of wine. Tooth-brushing time. I’m way more entertaining than Joel Stein. I can say that without a…

  • John Scalzi is a hero.

    Thank you, John! (And click here for an update from Sharon Davis of the Harrison County Public Library.)

  • “Schuyler’s Monster”

    “Schuyler’s Monster”

    Over 250 books are on their way to the Children’s Institute, and over $1500 has been raised for the Rockhouse Foundation in just two days. But that’s from only about eighty people. Did you decide you’d wait while you think about it? What is there to think about? Kids. Books. Done. Please? Oh, wait. Were…
