Garfield, reimagined: Garfield minus Garfield. Garfield, um, remixed. Garfield Minus Garfield, in particular, is pretty damned harrowing at times.
Fett’s Vette: I’m not a fan of nerdcore rap as much as I’m a huge MC Frontalot fan. But every now and then you find a song that justifies the hype. Fett’s Vette is one such song. […]

Shopping for a guitar is a complicated affair. On one hand, you have to consider how you’re going to look on-stage. When I decided “That’s it, I’m getting a guitar”, the first thing that came to mind was a Les Paul:

The problem with a Les Paul is that, let’s face it, we’re not all Zakk […]

High Fidelity: A top 10 list without High Fidelity is like eating your mom without cooking her first.
LA Story: Because we need to remember that Steve Martin not always sucked.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: I watched this movie next to a girl that cried for an hour straight. I went to the bathroom, and […]

So, hot on the heels of Penny Arcade dealing with the trials and tribulations of Facebook, I have decided to see what this newfangled technology is all about. (You damned kids get off my lawn!). I have been given powerful arguments (”Everybody has one”, and “It’s like, mandatory these days”), but the one that convinced me […]

The Asoh Defense: On November 22, 1968 Japan Airlines flight 2, landed 6 miles short of the runway out on the beach… When the NTSB hearing began the first witness was the pilot in command, who, when questioned how a pilot with his experience, flying a plane in perfect working order, could’ve landed, said “…as […]
