I forgot exactly how effective and addictive a time-waster web design is. I swear, it was 11pm like 10 minutes ago. I’ve decided to redesign my main website (even though the blog gets about 99% of the traffic to my server), since I haven’t redesigned it in 3 years, and it looks pretty bad. I ...

Since I’m really this bored (or boring, your call), and I decided to watch The Fugitive, I tried to look up a drinking game for it. There wasn’t one that I could find. So I’ve decided to make one up. To wit: TAKE ONE DRINK: – Any time Harrison Ford asserts his innocence. – Any ...

Thanks (or not really) to Dave for the single scariest photo of the Governator I have ever seen. I don’t think I’m going to be able to sleep tonight….

An annoying new trend has shown up in my inbox: Spammers stretching out words so that they don’t have to misspell them in entertaining new ways (like VIAGKJRA), and getting around my spam filter. I know we’re all looking for “Roooock Hard Erectiooons In 60 Seecooonds” as one ad promised me, though the most ironic ...

Casey started this round of Music quizzing, and it’s quite fascinating. My own contribution: Favorite song with the name of a city in the title: “Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago,” by Soul Coughing.
