I’ve had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday Island! Enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day, everyone. __________________ if you need a little help, take a look here and here. Though you don’t need any help, do you?

A couple of discussion points within the geek milieu that I’ve run into in the last couple of days: ♦ – Kill a few minutes by playing URL Hunter, an experimental game played entirely in your browser’s address bar. ♦ – Stan Lee finally puts to rest the “superhero secret” from Mallrats. His answer is […]

Quoth on facebook (hock, ptooie!) a person I dated once upon a time many, many moons ago: “Maybe If I was drunk I’d understand ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’” Which spurred the following thought in my head: Well, that’s why things between us went the way they did… A mystery I never thought much about, […]

I thought a bit about writing something about my reaction to the “spectacle” surrounding this year’s Super Bowl, though it seems, as usual, while I was dithering about in the gym and looking into a regular Monday night d20 game last evening, Amanda beat me to it. And, she pretty much mirrors what I was […]

Dana Milbank at the Washington Post had a brilliant, beautiful idea the other day, that I thought I ought to share here. Starting today, February 1, 2010, Milbank has vowed to, for at least one month, not mention a certain public figure, and encouraging everyone else to do so, in the hope that by the […]

As Marvel’s 2011 summer film slate of Thor and Captain America start gathering more attention, pre-production is ramping up on Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon. The result of this, of course, is lots of promotional interviews with cast and crew, such as the interview with Chris “Thor” Hemsworth mentioned in this aicn piece, where we’re […]

While I love the deep sarcastic mediations on relationships in xkcd, I think my all-time favorite comics are, like today’s, the pop song flow charts. Since it’s cookie time, this piece about overbearing cookie moms and the potential harm they might do is particularly apropos, and entertainingly written. Oh, and thanks to Doug for pointing […]
