Seven days until the COUCHATHON!

October 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Like all the best ventures in mankind’s short history, there may have been drinking involved in the conception of the Couchathon. See, as much as I love The Imponderables (purveyors of fine viral comedy styling over at RocketAce), they have really, really, short attention spans. During one shoot with them someone commented trying to get […]

No.

I had lots to talk about tonight. I managed to survive another World Rock Paper Scissors Championship. Google managed to settle the lawsuit with the Author’s Guild over their book scanning project – paying out a hefty sum, but securing themselves some interesting rights in the process (fodder for a future post, I’m sure, once […]

Got less sense than a cat’s got hoofs!

October 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

A commenter over at Mike Sterling’s Something Or Other hipped me to the candy gab of Jerry on the Job, a delightful essay by James Lileks (of Gallery of Regrettable Food fame). Such wonders you will see therein! Thrill to Lileks short stack of thick thought on this forgotten master of the comic-strip flip-take. PEOPLE […]

I promise not to become a tech or gadget blog – but this is one of those rare situations where I want to make sure a solution I’ve found makes it’s way onto the Google-index since I know lots of others are in the same boat. Indulge me. While I’ve been pretty happy since I […]

Concrete Universe

October 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Just a little web-comic pimpage – Kris Straub (who writes something like forty seven thousand and eight different webcomics) has started a story-within-a-story plotline over at Starslip Crisis that I’m completely in love with. The concept is that in the 34th Century “Concrete Universe” is a popular historical police procedural broadcast show which is set […]
