Estelle Getty, who played Momma on The Golden Girls, died Tuesday, a few days after her 85th birthday, from unspecified causes according to an LA Times article.
I really wasn’t a big fan of the show (especially because of Blanche.. ick), but Momma and the lady who kept recounting stories from back in St. Olaf held [...]

I nearly fell out of my chair with laughter in a quite literal LOL when I read the headline for a story at Consumerist — and then nearly Rocky-Mountain-Chocolate’d the desk chair after I realized the stock imagery they posted next to it! Too funny! I don’t sympathize at all with the whiney [...]

If you had planned on seeing The Happening by M. Night Shyamalan at the theatre soon, like I was, you might want to read this review first. It contains pretty much all spoilers you’d ever need to know without having to see the movie, to be able to hold a discussion about the movie. [...]

One thing that has amazed me the most about the science vs. creationism debate is how easily purportedly science-minded stand-takers will be suckered into falling for their own accusation — right there in plain view. It should be acknowledged, that, while there is at the same time Creationist amateurs who have no idea what [...]

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, [...]

Looking back over my backlog of newspapers I should have been reading, there’s an interesting blurb about a Civil War battle diorama that was dismantled after only a short while, which took years for a bunch of school students to set up. Since the article didn’t contain a picture, I figured I’d try the web [...]

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 [...]

So here I go, off to ABC.com to check out the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy since I don’t own a television and I do stuff on Thursday nights. I’ve never had to sign a EULA (End User License Agreement) before, so why now?
I’d honestly like to know. I sent a tip to [...]

After posting this Ask Metafilter question, I have learned that I am a linguistic descriptivist whereas my accuser is a linguistic prescriptivist. In a nutshell, it means that I believe language rules can be identified by ways in which they have been demonstrated to operate in the past — whereas my accuser subscribes to [...]

Yes, I’m going through a backlog of forwards I never got around to reading. There are a few in particular that really bring up a few issues with me, so I figured I’d put in my two cents.

Home Depot Customer Detained by PD, and as noted by BoingBoing.

I hate to say it, but it appears that one of my favorite video sites is closing its high-quality doors on Feb 28 of this year. Their blog post here delivers the bad news, mainly on the excuse of becoming too expensive and too attention-hogging to maintain. To me it seemed like a [...]

Being childfree myself (that is, possessing the mindset of “I do not plan to ever have children” for a multitude of reasons), I naturally sought out a few online communities that other childfree people gathered unto, after I discovered that I wasn’t alone in this style of living. What I immediately latched onto was [...]

I was scanning through the toothpaste images and found this gem, as a dorm-mate was in a local news publication that mentions a girl getting over the battle of losing her mother by wearing a pink jersey to a basketball game. Click to read the full image..

Apparently there were some wicked hot and/or cute cosplayers at a (Scandinavian? German? Land that employs umlauts?) anime or gaming convention, maybe even just a medieval fair. Who cares. This particular pair of knockouts were the twitterpation of nerds everywhere. Yowza!

I know this is a repeat, but my friend Geoff got a 10,670 distance kick that just needed to be posted — the first time the ball hits the ground after being kicked is in the THIRD land zone away. My lousy score of 5200-something got to’-up from the flo’-up.
