I dig Nelly Furtado's cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," which made the rounds a few months back. So I was psyched to find a TV performance, but it's a duet. With Charlotte Church!? Who, apparently, is now 20 and a bad-ass with a husky (!!!) chest voice, a foul mouth and her own variety show in the U.K. That, my friends, is crazy.

My new favorite thing ever:

This is what happens when you pull out a camera without my permission. That look has served me well since childhood.

Work is going pretty well. I'm still not completely set as far as equipment, software, etc. go, but I scored me a good chair, brought in my first framed photo (loving who?) and I ain't complaining about the daily catered lunch or kitchen full o' snacks. Pistachios. Mmmmm...

So, speaking of work, I have a question for youse: It drives me crazy when an embedded video on a webpage I visit starts playing automatically. For example, when I go to a Myspace page and a Youtube video is among the comments, I have to hit play for the video to load. Some other videos, though (cough see below cough), start playing automatically. Does that bother you too? Leave a comment or email me (anything at tjdegroat dot com).

Merci.

Just another day at my mom's house in Colorado:

Do You Guba?

You should. Because I'm heading to the big G, an old fashioned San Francisco dot-com. Bring on the stock options and the mid-afternoon ping pong!

Creepy: Waking up in Manhattan on Sept. 11 to an extraordinary number of honking cars and the wail of a fire truck siren.

Creepier: Looking at a clock and seeing 9:11 a.m.

Anyway, I'm peacing out this afternoon, after 12 days in the NYC area. Back to the Berk and a cool new opportunity.
