I don’t know how long Globe Genie has been around for, but my friend Sly sent it to me this week, and I was immediately intrigued. The concept of the site is simple: click the “teleport” button, and via the magic of Google Maps and Street View, you’ll be taken to a random place on …

FLIGHT LIVE BLOG: Spirits In The Sky!
Well, here I am again on a trans-con flight with nothing but time on my hands. I was planning on doing something useful like work on my script or write a Jersey Shore photocap, but this flight has proven to be something of an amusing farce so far. I must live blog the events because …
FLIGHT LIVE BLOG: Off To New York!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a flight blog (or “flog”), but I’m feeling a certain peppiness today — the sort of peppiness that comes from an intoxicating cocktail of D-list celebrity sightings and a venti iced mocha from Starbucks. This sort of chipper outlook is fairly rare at this early hour of 9:20 …
CNN Has Made Me A STAR!!
About nine months ago, I posted a video of me sitting behind a crying baby on YouTube. The resultant post garnered a whole bunch of comments, setting off a fierce debate on whether it is the parents’ duty to silence their kid or if it’s the passenger who just needs to get the hell over …
Journey to Club Med
Avid readers of this blog may have noticed something curious over the past week: no content. None. Zilch. Usually when I’m preoccupied, I usually manage one or two small items here and there, but alas, it’s been a dead zone on B-Side Blog. Why? Well, I went on a family vacation, and we went to …
LIVE FLIGHT BLOG: Let's Hear It For Newww Yorrrk!! (bound flights)
Guess what? I’m back on a plane again! Yes, I’m on yet another flight back to the East Coast, and I’ll be honest — I wasn’t gonna “flog” it. First of all, I’m a bit tired; second of all, I thought I might do real work; third of all, there aren’t even any celebrities that …

B-Side Blog Goes To Disneyland!
This year, Disneyland has been running a promotion allowing people to visit the theme park for free on their birthdays. It just so happens that I turned a year older last week; so I happily took advantage of this offer and headed down to Anaheim for a day of whimsy and make-believe (which is not …
Further Adventures From Thanksgiving Weekend
As promised — albeit a day late — here are some more photos from Thanksgiving weekend. There’s not much of a narrative flow as I opted not to photograph every single moment, but the pics were amusing; so here they are. Be warned: there’s an excessive amount of IndianJones on display.
ADVENTURES IN AMERICA: Snapshots from a Thanksgiving Road Trip
Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, and while we all ponder ways in which we’ll be exercising off the copious amounts of calories ingested over the weekend, I’ve decided to relive the glorious memories from the past week. Actually, I’m just posting photos. I headed up to San Francisco this year on a mini-road trip …

Scott Weiland Forces Plane Into Emergency Landing; Bemused Emailing Ensues
Now THIS would have been a flight to blog. I just received this email from my friend Jeff who is attempting to fly from LAX to Miami: “my plane just made an emergency landing in Dallas because Scott Weiland od’d on prescription meds. Sort of amazing.” This was then followed by: “I also just convinced …
