Rest in Peace – Michael Van Dyke
Just got off the phone with my brother about the passing of someone we used to know quite well. He wasn’t someone we’d seen in a while, but he was a friend none the less. I haven’t seen him since I left town, but I always hoped the best for him. 26 years old, dead […]
The Michigan Daily – freakin' wow
I just don’t even know where to start with this one. Someone named, and I’m not making this up, Joel Hoard, Oh Yeah? has written an op/ed piece in the Record that is so unbelievably disconnected from any point, it’s painful to read. His politics aside (and he’s merely the latest cog in the Record’s […]
Stop the bulldozers! Don't destroy Frieze!
I really don’t care if the U builds a dorm at the Frieze site, but this letter to the editor in the Ann Arbor News is just too funny to pass up.

Live tracks need to be labeled!
Damn it! I bought the Bruce Hornsby Greatest Hits album from iTunes last night (stop laughing; I like it). At least 3 of the tracks are live tracks. I happen to like some live tracks, but the vast majority of live tracks (not just these) are utter crap. If we have to label explicit lyrics, […]
Comic round-up
This has been a good week for comics and their writers. First up, Penny Arcade does it again, taking the major sports leagues to task for these idiotic exclusive deals with various game companies. Why is this bad for video games? Because. And Auchtoon does it again. Now, I’m no economist (and nowhere near retirement) […]
Douglas Adams honored by International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center
In a tribute fitting a man of his caliber, an asteroid has been named in honor of the author, humorist, and activist. Asteroid 2001 DA42 is now known as douglasadams. MSNBC helped in the naming process, although it’s not exactly clear what they did other than suggest him as a candidate. If they were the […]

There’s a huge vulnerability in the current version of Movabletype, so I’m disabling comments. Hopefully a patch will be out soon and comments will return.
