Quick follow-up. Ars Technica has a great summary of the events along with some new details. The Penny Arcade fans have banned together and worked up a detailed account of Jack’s activities. One of the forum members has reported the entire incident to the FBI, including the detailed report (forum thread here [NSFW language]). The […]
Arbor Update, a local Ann Arbor blog, recently posted about the riots in Toledo (CNN story). Throughout the day, I’ve been following the hilarious thread as trolls are driven to the post, likely from a search or some post in the neo-Nazi forum somewhere. After some people called for the racist crap be deleted, one […]
I tried to post the following message on your “forums” in response to the hit piece tonight on the governor, but you have a character limit. My commend got deleted as well; must be a technical problem. So, if someone would get get lucky enough to surf over here, here’s my response to Steve Wilson’s […]
I must build this! A homemade Peltier Beer (erm… Beverage) cooler. Ok, not really (I can’t solder to safe my life), but this is pretty cool. Link [via Engadget]

Vitaly Friedman has compiled a list of 20 License-Free Fonts (that’s free). Fonts are one of those beautiful things that no one pays attention to, at least until you get that invitation made in Kidnap or something.

I’m going to stop apologizing for it and just give into the farce that has become Jack Thompson. (Note to certain readers, it must be something about the last name.) Jack has now faxed a letter to the Seattle PD (where PA is located) asking that the authors of PA, Gabe and Tycho, be arrested. […]
Orson Scott Card’s webzine, Intergalatic Medicine Show, is up. Each issue costs $2.50 and Card has on the front page that he’ll publish a new story in Ender’s world every month (what’s that little tickle in the back of my mind?). Ender’s Game is one of the best sf stories around and Card is quite […]
I don’t know what gets this guy under my skin and, yes, I’m playing right into his sick need for attention, but I got drop one last post about this twit. Not only does he whelch on charities, but others have to make up for him. The guys at Penny Arcade have donated $10,000 to […]
Following up on this post, Jack Thompson, lawyer, psychic, and now, apparently, back-peddling fool has rescinded his offer of $10,000 to charity if someone built his proposed violent video game. Why? Because someone did it. Jack now claims, in totally lawyerly fashion, that his original offer was satire. Unfortunately, we know that’s not true as […]
