Scratched into the wet cemete 20 years ago (according to the date scratched by the artist). This is one slogan that never gets old. It's outside my favorite taco joint. I asked for 2 shredded cat tacos and 1 corona, but I had to settle for 2 fish tacos and 1 corona. I poored over my newest purchase, Booty, Girl Pirates on the High Seas. It pretty much confirms that in the history of man, men have not been the only ones to use violence to redistribute wealth in their favor.

I was supposed to be at Microsoft playtesting, but I got tied up at work and forgot to leave. Deciding I didn't want to battle traffic all the way up to MS when I was late leaving wasn't hard, so I headed over to have some fish tacos instead. But, I could have been at this very moment playing some new game produced by Microsefs. They probably won't call me again.

A 10-year labor of love nurtured by a group of local developers, who are diligent students of the past and the future, Colletta has gone broadband. It's now a cybervillaggio with 60 apartments equipped for always-on Internet; satellite TV; ISDN, phone, and video-cable connections -- perfect for the well-connected professional in search of a getaway. "We can get a half-year's work done here in the space of two months," says Kieran O'Donnell, who purchased one of the first apartments in late 1999. He and his wife, Joanne, decided to run their UK-based tax-consultancy and property-development businesses from Colletta after traveling around the United States and Europe scouting different locations. "The peaceful environment lends itself to intense working," says O'Donnell. "And when you take a breather, you find yourself walking the routes that people walked 800 years ago."

Come this December, if you want Ben Stein's money, you'll have to take it by force. Comedy Central has canceled "Win Ben Stein's Money," its four[sic]-year-old quiz show. What made the series unique was that the contestants' winnings purportedly came directly out of the host's paycheck. Stein, a well-known character actor, appeared in "The Wonder Years" and the film "Ferris Buehler's Day Off," and he served in the Nixon and Ford administrations. He was working in the White House at the time of the scandal that ended Nixon's presidency. "Win Ben Stein's Money" also helped launch the career of Jimmy Kimmel, who will host a new late-night talk show on ABC next season. New episodes of "Win Ben Stein's Money" will air from late October through December.

I understand from some of you that my recent indecency related arrest in Thailand seems to have clouded your judgement to illegal acts. Let me warn you that I am innocent and will prove so soon. This does not mean the office is a free for all.
