Seinfeld: The Porn
Oh Georgy!
I found this fascinating, in a sociocultural kinda-way — news about the making of ‘Seinfeld: A XXX Parody!’
@The Sun:
X-rated filmmaker LEE ROY MYERS is currently filming Seinfeld: A XXX Parody! which comes hot on the heels of Myers’ last porn comedy ‘masterpiece’ Scrubs: A XXX Parody.
The comedy is still as popular as ever thanks to re-runs, although the last series finished in 1998.
And Myers reckons the cast for the film is top-notch.
He said: “It makes my job look easy when I get to work with an amazingly talented group who can pull off the hot sex and comedic acting. It just doesn’t get better than that.”

Nesting Phase G
I’ve been in “Nesting Phase Gamma” as CZ and I prepare the home for the little one who is due in just about 2 months. Yesterday, a good friend of my sister’s was gracious enough to donate her garage-full of of infant/toddler clothes.
Pictured is about 80% of it.
About a month ago we purchased an orange couch for our nest’s baseement, a sleeper; but discovered in the moving-in process that it wouldn’t fit through our kitchen to get to our basement — we measured everywhere but that door. Bummer. So decided on something that could be assembled and decided on this sweet mama-jama. You can’t sink into it like you could our old ‘Olive’ , but it’s definitely a durable basement couch/sleeper/thing.
Well what the heck else have I been doing in the last month? Bought a Mac Mini. So sweet — recent jobs completed on it include laubrealty.com, jdrfcapitol.org, and currently working on a Falls Church-based family doctor’s website.
Currently reading: Norm Brodsky’s “The Knack”
Just ate: Corn Chowder w/ Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Listening to: Sara Watkins (bluegrassy goodness)

As comedies go…
Three f'd up men and a baby
…this one might not be that bad. Especially since it’s got Zach G and Todd Phillips directing. It’s Three Men and a Baby meets Old School, meets every zany Vegas movie meets Mike Tyson’s fist.
Watch the trailer for “The Hangover”

Prawo Jazdy: Ireland’s Biggest Offender
Police in Ireland have finally caught up with Prawvo Jadzy — a crazy Polish driver terrorizing Ireland who’s been pulled over for multiple traffic violations - they caught up with him by realizing they’ve been reading Polish driver’s licenses incorrectly — “Prawo Jazdy” is what’s printed at the top of ALL Polish driver’s licenses — it roughly means “Driver’s License”.
Thankfully, it’s the Irish that are on the end of this Polish joke.

Nats Park Presidential Tryouts
I seriously considered doing this – but alas my “not-quite-tall” stature prevented me from trying out. You must be at least 5′9″ to be a president.
Google Sync, ActivSync + iPhone
In this nerdly edition of mz.com , I geek out a little about Google’s new Mobile Sync
Yesterday, as an early bday present I bought Mrs. Z an iPhone - we’d been looking around at smartphones for the last couple months for her and finally settled on it at Clarendon’s Apple Store. It was a momentous occasion: The Zager family’s first iPhone.
I’d read about Google’s new Mobile Sync, the beta version of their calendar/contact syncing program which just released a couple weeks ago — another big selling point.
Moving contacts into a new phone/device is the worst part of buying a new toy important mobile device and Google has helped make it tremendously easy.
Once setup, everyone that’s in your Gmail’s “My Contacts” can be automatically transferred to your iPhone (or Blackberry or other supported phone) within seconds. So it was just a matter of exporting her old phone’s phonebook and merging it with Google’s “My Contacts” — that process took about an hour, because Google automatically ’suggests’ your Contacts and what’s in her phonebook didn’t exactly match up with Google’s suggestions. But it was way easier than having to re-type everyone’s name, email address and phone number since Google allows you to ‘merge contacts’ (Jane + Jane Smith can be merged)
Now when she updates a contact in her iPhone it’s automagically ‘pushed’ back to Google and reflected in her ‘My Contacts’ instantly. And vice versa, if she updates/adds more contacts in her Gmail contacts, her iPhone address book will reflect the changes.
The synced (synched?) calendar is even more handy. We’ve both casually used Google Calendar in the past but have never really had a central calendar that we can both add items to, besides the magnetized one on our fridge — and that one only works if we’re in our kitchen.
We have a shared Google Calendar that we can each add events/appointments to. This same calendar is automatically updated on her iPhone anytime a new event/appt is added. Pretty durn handy.
The hangup that we’re discovering is that only one ActivSync account is allowed on the iPhone - for now - so her Outlook email/calendar can’t be setup to do the same thing, to my knowledge. So my solution is to have her sync her Outlook calendar to the Google Calendar using Google Calendar Sync and hope that we can setup some POP/SMTP server for her work account.

Joe Ades Passes Away
Joe Ades, a man who sold carrot and potato peelers for $5 on NYC street corners, and lived in a Park Avenue apartment has passed away.
The old man continues his demonstration. People at the back of the crowd cannot see because he remains seated. “Come closer,” he whispers. “I’m not going to ask for money. You can keep your watch.”
Even the people in front have to lean in to hear. “This peeler is the finest ever made. Comes from Switzerland. Costs only five dollars. You can’t buy anything from Switzerland for five dollars these days.”
The woman rummages through her purse, pulls out some bills and dangles them in front of the old man. He ignores the money. “Now, why would you buy four peelers if they last a lifetime?” he asks rhetorically.
His eyes finally make contact with the woman. She’s holding five dollars; she only wants one peeler. “Well, you have four friends,” the old man replies to his own question. “That’s why you buy four peelers!”
And she does. Others buy, too, as fast as the old man can pull the peelers from a box.
