Bear with me

Updated the Wordpress software, and thought it might be a fun time to create myself a custom look for the site (based on the almighty Tarski — link at the bottom of the page for those of you who care).
Problem being, I don’t know CSS worth a damn, I’m impatient to a fault, and let’s [...]

More on copyright

Another thought-provoking article on the copyright question, this time in reference to Second Life, the increasingly ubiquitous online experience from California’s Linden Labs.

Cassette Generator

Someone sent me the Vinyl Record Label Generator a while ago, but today, Dan sent me the cassette version, which I find even funnier, because pre-recorded cassettes were so inherently disposable and lame.

The origins of blogging

A brilliant cartoon from Married To The Sea.

Insanity

The Internet can lock up soon, because the best thing that will ever be on it is now playing; it can only go downhill from here:

Click to watch
