I’ve turned comments back on for new posts. SixApart released a patch (that was quick!) to take care of the comment mailer issues.
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, […]
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.

This line takes the cake, and makes me reflect that, while I live in the alternate reality of Ann Arbor, I don’t live in the City (that’s San Francisco). Why is that important? Because of lines like this: While the goal is reducing plastic bag pollution, paper was added so as not to discriminate. Thank […]
