After a year of silent running, independent filmmaker Tony Naranjo has made a triumphant return with his 7th installment of OTO TV. Building on themes laid out in earlier episodes, his latest work explores the innocence of youth, the celebration of marriage and the wonderment of athletic accomplishment.
OTO TV #7 is a tour de force.
I bought a Trek Soho on Friday. I’ve ridden about 7 miles so far, and I’m really sore happy with it.

This promo for the Discovery Chanel is pretty cool. Any commercial that features Stephen Hawking singing is a success as far as I’m concerned.
Update: I just saw this ad on TV and it looks like Hawking didn’t make the cut for the 30 second spot. So lame.
…if they had to kill ponies to make iPhones, I’d still have one.
We have reestablished our routine and all is right with the world.
Most days I take my lunch break at a coffee shop a few blocks from my office and order the same thing just about every time. Sure, there are days when I feel like bucking the trend and ordering the special, but then I think about all the time I have invested into being able to walk in and answer “yes” when they ask me if I want the usual.
During the work week, Sarah and I don’t have lunch together too often because our offices are about ten miles from one another. The exception to this is Fridays when Sarah has the afternoon off. On Fridays Sarah picks me up for lunch and we always go somewhere other than the coffee shop because, by the end of the week, I am generally ready for something different.
Today I was still feeling the coffee shop for lunch and my worlds collided.
We walked in and as per the protocol I answered yes when they asked if I wanted the usual. Sarah then asked what the usual was and ordered the same, except, not the same. She made two substitutions. Normally this would not be a big deal, but I immediately realized that, since they don’t even bother to write my order down anymore, there was a high likelihood that my lunch would not come out right. Sure enough, the more egregious of the two substitutions made an appearance on my dish as well. I told myself that it wasn’t that big of a deal and that the food would still be perfectly palatable.
I got three bites into my lunch and my mind started to race. Knowing that I wouldn’t be in the coffee shop over the weekend, I imagined that when I return on Monday they might prepare the unusual rather than my usual. While I was perfectly happy to eat the unusual, the change is still a bastardization of what I consider the perfect lunch at that establishment.
My faith in the coffee shop has been shaken. I hope that Monday it will be reaffirmed. I’ll let you know what happens.
“Has anyone put an ad in the paper for free lab puppies & put the phone # of 555-5555 if so we have been getting calls?”
No message body whatsoever. The only alteration I made to the text was to remove the phone number.
