Times New HQ


I'm a Times addict. I look at the site at least a dozen times on an average day, a figure that's only gotten larger now that I've gone iPhone. Their new headquarters looks awesome, and I hope someday to go inside and check it out.

Orange in Austin


Orange is everywhere in this town, from the sea of Longhorn-wear to
the fauna. That's school spirit!

Opening Night


Opening night of Cyrano de Bergerac starring Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner is the star-studded event you'd expect it to be -- red carpet, TV crews, young fans, Ben Affleck in the lobby.

And the show? It's just okay. The actors are wonderful, but the writing just seems so flabby and indulgent. A play about the beauty of language shouldn't be a license to overwrite, but that's exactly what this show feels like. I'm sure the style and language made sense in a historical context, but a 2007 Broadway production with movie stars isn't an academic production by any means, and a little tightening up would have served the actors and audience much better.
