I know, I can't believe there was never a Jedi cartoon of me here, either.
The pic above, like much of our Six Pack artwork was done by Andy Deihl, who not only does great work but somehow makes me feel silly be even saying "thanks." You can check out plenty more of Andy's stuff
here.
And you know what? This is my site, so I'm thanking you publicly and you can't stop me.
Thanks dude.
I also wanna give a major thanks to my trusty webslinger, err, I mean webmaster, Steve, who has done all the redesigns on the many versions of Rubinville. We started this thing before anyone was blogging, just as some scribble on a napkin at a pizza place here in NYC, and it's come pretty damn far. So, a public thanks goes to you too, Steve. And you guys should all check out Steve's band
Bluish.
We're still tinkering and fiddling with some of the redesign, and your comments, thoughts and advice are welcome. Unless they are negative, we just can't deal with that kind of stuff.
Also, you might have noticed I stuck a donation button up there. I did this once for a few weeks a couple years ago but then decided to take it down because somehow getting any money for all this seemed like selling-out. Frankly, I can't even remember how or why I thought that, but your donations are welcome and I promise they will all be used pretty much to feed and/or clothe me.
Oh, and maybe the occasional margarita. If you'd like your donation to be specifically used for margaritas please note that on the donation page...
Perseverance pays off.
I'm as excited as the next guy that Tiger is one step closer to playing golf again, but why did he have to end the speech with this rather uncomfortable kiss with his mother?*
Ben and I are recording the show this afternoon so I thought I'd give you guys an opportunity to throw some comments/questions/thoughts/angry rants at us before we tape.
An old-school 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System just sold on Ebay for $13,105. Why would someone pay so much for an old video game system, you ask? Good question. Ill answer that by quoting from the Yahoo! article about the story...
It was 20 years ago today that Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson in the best boxing match I've ever seen. (I've probably watched about five fights total, but still.) I remember the night very clearly because it was the same evening as the NBA Dunk Contest, and my brother and I angled two TV's, one in the living room one in the basement, so that we could sit on the stairs and watch both events. I think it still stands as the only time I watched TV on the while stairs. And that includes The Stair Master, which I have never tried.
Yea, I even blog when it's snowing outside.
Why is this 2 year old boy chained to a pole? I'd explain, but you should probably just click here for the full explanation.
