Yea, I'm the guy who used to work at Pixar and went to the MIT Media Lab. Still on the Board of the Cartoon Art Museum in SF. Come visit!

He's so petty:

I’m a lefty, both hand and politics, but I see the point of the right side here much more clearly than the left…

‘Toy Story 5’ Headed to $160M Biggest Opening of 2026

Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' is falling 69 percent, while sensation 'Obsession' will finally post a weekend smaller than its opening.

On the one hand, I would like to highly recommend my new theory of vacation, in three parts:

- travel via plane to surprise family member. Stay a few days.
- be home aka “staycation” and gets lots accomplished around the house
- travel via car an hour or two to a resort and have a luxury stay away from the house.

But I would not recommend getting a cold in the first part, so the second part is full of nose blowing and losing your voice.

Hoping the 3rd part goes better.

Speaking for a friend.

I never met James Burrows, but he seemed like one of the best folks in TV.

So many great shows:

Cheers, Friends, Frasier, Taxi…

Heck - he started with Mary Tyler Moore, such a huge show from my childhood.

What a legacy.

Finished S1 of #ludwig on BritBox.

Wow.

Was a bit worried with only 6 episodes, and E5 good but not obviously leading towards landing the plane, but then E6 just nailed it so hard.

Super impressed.

Excited that there’s another season, but well earned.

This is truly a bummer. I have had many important meals with interesting people in this place over the last 3 decades. Maybe even 4…

I have a very large old concrete bench that was covered in tile for 70 years, and we’d like to stain it.

The final answer is custom cushions on it, but I’d like it to work even if the covers aren’t on it.

So this is old (1949) concrete - would love suggestions of concrete stains that will take on decades old concrete.

Sounds like my old compatriots at Pixar have done it again. Looking forward to seeing it myself in Pixar’s own Steve Jobs theater soon!
