So, dear readers (there are more than one of you, right?), I need an opinion. We have three pets, two of whom shed hair like limbs at a leper convention. The house is, understandably, a little on the hairy side. It’s getting much worse than we can take and the vacuum we have just isn’t […]

Ah, the wonderful world of Engadget. I always forget how unbelievably pretentious Engadget is until they decide to step in it publically. Like today when they got called out for ripping off content from another site (one which they’ve apparently had a spat with). Until one of those sites breaks a story. This one is […]

Today is Purim, the Jewish holiday commemorating the story of Esther (full back story here). Why should us goyims care? We are also commanded to eat, drink and be merry. According to the Talmud, a person is required to drink until he cannot tell the difference between “cursed be Haman” and “blessed be Mordecai,” though […]
So, Frank Turner is a little, uh, touched, which is something I didn’t know. Not “stab you on the subway” touched (we don’t have a subway… sheesh), but “God has told me to do this really, really silly thing” touched. Frank wants to host a radio show on 1340 WEXL-AM (AM?) and needs the prayers […]
SXSW (that’s South by Southwest) is going on. SXSW is a huge media festival, for lack of a better term. It’s tons of indie bands, movie makers, and media types (a growing number of which are Web media types) gathering in Austin to be… well.. corporately sponsored. But, they do draw an incredible amount of […]
