Hey Butthead!
14May08Okay, I couldn’t resist. Anyway, recently I have had neither the subjects nor the time to take any decent photos. No one is more disappointed than me. Really, that’s probably a fact. That said, please accept this video as a token of my appreciation for your continued readership (all 2 of [...]
Cinqo de Mayo is … Wolfenstein!
05May08On this day in the year 1992, Id software released Wolfenstein 3D, one of the most successful first-person shooters ever published. It helped promulgate the genre and provided hours and hours of Nazi-killing fun. Admit it. You love killing Nazis. And that’s totally okay, we all do.
Wired has an excellent write-up (as [...]

Jon Stewart for President.

I do my best to stay away from politics and other topics that usually lead to pointless e-peen measuring contests on the internet (okay, I failed today), but since I believe the following content is both important and hilarious, I have decided to share it. Below is an excellent video demonstrating just how ignorant [...]
Some website I’ve never visited before published an interesting interview with Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters, Adam Savage and Jaime Hyneman. I’m sure there are lots of other interviews out there, but this is the one I came across today (thanks Fark.).
Mythbusters is absolutely fantastic, first class television. It’s a wonder it hasn’t been cancelled [...]
