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 [...]

In a previous post of mine, which spurred a Foosers of Men strip, one particular linked blogger was going on and on about how BoingBoing secretly removed all references to someone called Violet Blue, citing sexism and breaking some unspoken blogger-journalism code. Well, BoingBoing has now issued a statement about the removal, basically stating [...]

I got a fairly unusual spam post on one of my comments the other day. I frequently use Alta Vista’s Babelfish translator to converse with friends abroad (or people who randomly ICQ me), which I used since the days of taking French at the university and using it’s assistance *cough* in homework, so I [...]

Over the years, I’ve wanted to make my own comic strip but never really made the connection to use the web for it. I was browsing thru some favorite web comics (xkcd and toothpaste for dinner and finding a few funnier highlights to recommend to friends, when it dawned on me that I should [...]

Those buzzards in the MPAA, notorious for ruining everyone’s enjoyment of the film industry, have now decided that hey, we don’t need proof to start collecting what we’re owed, we can just start fining people left and right without any proof at all!
If that were true, I’d like to um… fine the MPAA for a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It always flabbergasts me the things some people will do out of protest. Half the time, they are acts that would — instead of making a statement of, hey, this is a valid protest, actually communicate that, hey, my argument has zero credibility because I’m such a dooftard.
The incident this time is the tale [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Apparently we should already know how big a Swinhoe Soft-Shell turtle is, because the article never states its size, other than the headline of “giant.” But anyway, a big one was found, and it has some elements of being a legendary figure, not especially unlike King Arthur’s “Lady of the Lake” except without the [...]

Translated, “The King’s Pathway” according to the wiki entry, the absurdly precarious elevated walkway the person filming the video below daringly traverses tempts me to thus pronounce him a complete lunatic. My thoughts while watching this, other than, how much of a complete labotomy-patient must you be to be walking this path much less filming [...]

I caught on Digg today the “Legend of Zelda” movie trailer. I watched the whole thing first, and it seemed pretty elaborate but something about it just wasn’t right. The effects looked too fan-made and at the end I remarked, “oh man, that movie’s gonna suck.” I looked it up on IMDB [...]

Did you ever see a sign or a billboard that used a lowercase L that looked like a capital I — especially when all of the other letters in context were capitalized? That’s happened maybe 3 times since college (which ended in 2000 for me) and nowhere near enough to make a blog out [...]

1. Stop acting like a criminal.
2. Profit.
Home Depot Customer Detained by PD, and as noted by BoingBoing.
Here we go again with yet another anusclown complaining to the world at large who could frankly give a nonzero’s worth of big-freakin-deal, who refuses to show his receipt at the exit to a store, gets detained, and then [...]
