I went from being single to being a ****ing responsible familyman or something. The...
A startup called WibiData decided to try to set themselves apart from the dime-a-dozen bay area startups that are popping up all the time and (presumably paid someone to) put some ridiculous amount of time and effort into creating a series of Portal 2 maps with custom assets, soundtrack, and...
Anybody see it last weekend? Thought it was pretty good, I was having difficulty containing myself with all the references whizzing by throughout the course of the movie. I eventually had to stop pestering my poor wife with uninvited explanations because I couldn't keep up. Then again, most of...
Anyone else experimenting with this yet? From my humble beginnings it seems like it's pretty easy to use! Futurama and Big Lebowski lipsyncs here we come. Posting one of my favorite creations I've seen thus far to get things started.
So I saw this on Joystiq a couple days ago and wow, this is awesome.

Using a 2D gaming engine that uses Lua called Löve, this guy/these guys have re-created NES Super Mario Bros and have given him a portal gun. There appears to be a real-time map editor and all...
I just found out about the closed beta. Looks like BF2 but with micropayment upgrades. I just tried to play the "closed beta" but I couldn't get in to a server. Anybody else try this thing? I'm curious about it.
Sometimes you can almost feel the pulse of humanity by simply reading a news headline. Sometimes a particular story frames, in the parlance of our times, the very soul of ourselves. Even with the devastation in Japan, we must still direct our eyes to the future, because it races toward us on...

I made a new map and started moving around. First thing I've noticed so far: Skeletons drop BONES as well as arrows. No idea what they do yet, except you can make bone meal out of them. Discuss!
Arguments between prospective parents over baby names is really common. I've even experienced this for myself. This guy went off the deep end, though, as an argument over whether or not to hyphenate the baby's (last?) name led to the man shooting his girlfriend, then shooting his girlfriend's...
I haven't stayed at the Vdara yet, being a about-once-a-year Vegas visitor who stays cheaply, so I haven't experienced this for myself. But I heard about this on the radio this morning and had to post it. Seems the concave shape of the hotel and shiny surface turns this hotel into a giant...
Some things that happened on 7/7:
1928 – The Chillicothe Baking Company in Chillicothe, Missouri, US, first produced sliced bread, advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped", which then led to the popular phrase "the greatest thing since sliced...
The day is upon me. It's been 1.5 years in the making and until a few weeks ago has been this entirely mythical, theoretical event. But it has since become very, VERY real. I'm getting married!!!!!! Shit yeah, I couldn't be happier! Everything is all set for aisle-walking and all the guests...
Lane Bryant, maker of lingerie for plus-sized women, had a flesh-baring ad set to air on ABC and FOX, both of which apparently refused to air the ad due to the excessive flaunting of the model's dirty pillows. These claims came from Lane Bryant, arguing that Victoria's Secret commercials aired...

ASDF is my score, and I couldn't improve it after an hour of trying. Think you can do better?
Look at this website for binoculars, click view page source.

What would possess someone to do this? Did the developer want to cause more website traffic costs for his employer? A webpage creation tool run amok, or run with stupidity? At any rate, it's a curious...
According to this article, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible's satanic agents of the Apocalypse. It happened in a phonecall between the two leaders as Bush attempted to appeal to their common...
The stupidity of some people. Here is the profile of a young woman who went to a private university in Pennsylvania, daughter of a disabled man living under the care of her grandmother, who graduated with a Business Administration degree (with a less than 2.0 GPA). Now she's 26, works at a...

Hopefully a hoax. We may need to spend a few hours decoding an alien language while muttering about chaos theory first.
Alright, so there's the premise. Which is it? When you need to get something down on paper and you need to grab enough tissue in your hands for the job, do you wad the tissue or do you fold it neatly?
