Oh well. It’s now free for Windows-based PC games, whereas before only people with the premium gold membership could utilize functions like playing online games with each other. Now, however, according to a Gamespot article (almost cited it as Gamestop), and confirmed by an InformationWeek article that the PC-version of Xbox-Live is now [...]

I was running through the credits on a facebook app I frequent, Super Slot Machines, and I was getting a lot of really good wins for some reason. I got no less than 600 tokens in winnings today, including extra keys that I sold off. I casually checked the time of day, and it [...]

A Michigan girl, 16, was struck by lightning after reaching to close a leaky window letting in rainwater, suffered some rehab-necessary muscle damage but is otherwise OK. The medics she and her mother sought suggested she play the lottery — so her mother bought a ticket and she nabbed a nice $20 win. [...]

I was checking out the message boards for Facebook’s Bowling Buddies application, a little flash game where you bowl the ball with the mouse, down a little animated lane. Apparently, there had been some difficulty in getting two things: the clown achievement, and 40+mph rolling speeds. So, I picked off two birds with [...]

For those unaware, which I’m sure is quite a few, there are Japanese pop music groups made entirely of girls — some of them having anywhere from solo to upwards of 48 members. One particular collection of them, in the Hello!Project group (governed by Up-Front Agency, and includes Berryz Koubou, C-ute, and Morning Musume, [...]

While I was away in Idaho this past weekend — visiting relatives for the wedding of one of my cousins, seeing my uncle finish Boise’s first Iron Man half-triathalon, watching coverage of McDonald’s fries inventor and resident potato billionaire JR Simplot’s televised funeral, and impressing the in-folk with my Scattergories rectal-extractive point-scoring techniques (”things found [...]

I’ve been looking into subtle advertising resources for the site here and I was just about to sign up with AdBrite, but it’s a good thing I opted to actually read the Terms of Service agreement.
I found a particular clause in the TOS that changed my mind about signing up, especially since you’re required to [...]

There’s been a new rapidshare captcha checkpoint to go through, and it involves kittens. Usually it will have a series of wavy letters and numbers that have a crude drawing of either a kitten or a puppy spun around inside it at various angles, and you’ve got to sift through them and pick the [...]

Thinking back to videos ages past, I seem to recall a few views of approaching sandstorms and their inevitable swallowing of the filmer, so I decided I would set out to find them again. What I found then after finding a few storms, was a strange video of what appeared to be a sand [...]

The local college/singles bible study leader is taking us all to go see Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on Thursday, and I’m not really looking forward to it. When he announced it, he wasn’t even sure what it was about, so I had to explain it to the group. It may stir up some [...]

I may be one of the few word philosphers or perhaps a lay-scientist of word theory, considering the overt nerdiness that this entry reveals.
As an official reference on the subject, I’m making an entry about my creation of the word neologism, to squiptipadoogleboinkaflop. In this form, it is a verb describing the action [...]

This one had me a bit stumped. When I searched for the email’s title, I only got one single entry in the entire Google dbase, of a forum post from what I presumed to be a family reunion site in a “hey look at this” type of message. I changed the “four” to [...]

I’m somewhat new to the lonelygirl15 drama, which I presume to have first been a YouTube video blog about a girl with just such a username, but was later discovered to be an actress and the blog itself to be scripted. I was scampering about the Internets as usual and came across this episode [...]

Today has been my indoctrination unto the band Nightwish by their tune Dead To The World. I actually came about it through the second video, but I figured I might post the original first and let the decision be up to you. I vote accordian, frankly ;-D

I found a neat inadvertent optical illusion when browsing DontCensorMe.com’s Digg section, where some dooftard was flooding the comments with repeated remarks pasted over and over in the same comment. The spaces between words just so happened to line up perfectly and create the impression of a line of blank space. Alert the [...]
