  • Short Fiction: Carla

    Stepping away from sports for just a moment, I want to throw a little link love to a short story just published that was written by a friend of mine. It’s called Carla, by Raja Doake. Raja’s site is here, where you can get a feel for the sort of song Carla might be. Enjoy!

  • xkcd – The End Is Not For A While

    Just filling the time here until football and hockey seasons both get into full swing, I could totally see myself doing this if I were more adventurous: alt text: I THINK EVERYONE INVOLVED HERE IS CUTE. BTW, read the archives over at xkcd.com. NOW.

  • InPrivate, No One Can See You Wank

    This may be old news to some of you, but apparently Microsoft has put a feature in IE 8 (currently in beta) called ‘InPrivate‘. It lets you browse without saving any history, cookies, or other information. Good for security, but also for your porn habits. Theoretically speaking, of course. H/T to Gizmodo.

  • I'm Gonna Sink This Bitch

    If you’ve never seen Mystery Science Theater 3000, you owe it to your funny bone to check out these clips, and then click/buy some Rifftrax from the occasional ad on the right. Big McLargehuge!

  • Hulu has Highlander!

    Okay, one single solitary time where advertising on a website worked on me…I clicked on an ad (at Facebook) and yes, Hulu does indeed have the entire run of Highlander: The Series! SWEET!

  • Lucas is Meddlesome

    Jeffrey Katzenberg, speaking to ComingSoon.net, revealed that Darth Lucas is ‘investing in technology’ to turn the Star Wars movies 3D. My favorite bit: Katzenberg remarked in the interview that Lucas “isn’t going to put a product out, I think, that isn’t anything other than first rate.” Yeah, EP1 was first rate, all right. UGH.

  • Why…so…SERIOUS?

    As you might guess from the title, I saw The Dark Knight. I managed to stay remarkably spoiler-free beforehand, so there were some twists I was NOT expecting. Great movie, but I’ll keep the real details for after the jump (to help keep others unspoiled)…

  • xkcd – Babies

    I know I felt like this when we first had my son (well, I didn’t want to disassemble him. I’m not so good with tools). Click on the picture to go to xkcd.com and get the alt-texty goodness. And read the archive if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?

  • Buffalo Homecoming

    Stepping away from the NHL draft and other nerdity for a moment, I’d like to point out (both for locals and potential visitors alike) that June 26-29 is Buffalo Homecoming, a yearly event to highlight what there is to like about Buffalo. June 26th is dedicated to the city’s varied eateries, and folks are encouraged…

  • Wordle

    Wordle is a site that’s making the blog-rounds. The site has a Java applet where you can put in a bunch of text (or your del.icio.us tags) and makes tag clouds out of them, with multiple font/color options. I made on of the headers on my site with it, and there are some really interesting…

  • Hulk SMASH

    I went to see The Incredible Hulk over the weekend (twice, in fact). I enjoyed it quite a bit, although Iron Man is still my movie of the year so far. I only read Hulk comics when I got ’em in the multipacks I bought, but I enjoyed what I read of Peter David’s run.…

  • Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    I went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. I thought it was pretty good, say B- or C+ grade-wise. I enjoyed it, and don’t feel as if it was a waste of money, which is good considering how much it costs to go to a movie nowadays. There…
