Vat19

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

I have long been wanting to buy a copy of the game Khet.  It’s been on my Amazon Wishlist forever.  A few days ago I ran across the website for Vat19 when seeing a youtube video about their 32,000 calorie, 26 pound Gummy Bear. I also noticed they had both the base version of Khet [...]

Jackass Of The Week: John Gruber

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Image by Laughing Squid via Flickr As much as I dislike Apple as a company I do tend to like John Gruber and his analysis.  He is an ass like me most of the time which probably helps.  This time though he goes to far.  He points out that some tests with Flash on the [...]

I Must Break You

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

In case you have been asking yourself what Dolph Lundgren has been up to lately.  It looks like a little singing, a little dance, a little drumming, a little board and ice breaking. I suppose it could be worse.  For those that don’t remember Ivan Drago was Rocky‘s nemesis in Rocky IV. Related articles by [...]

An Open Letter To Steve Jobs RE: iPad Naming

Friday, January 29, 2010

On behalf of Fujitsu (PDF), Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, and Coconut Grove Intimates (now defunct, even the WayBackMachine couldn’t help me) I would like to put forth the following open letter to Steve Jobs and Apple Computers.  I shall be as brief as my predecessor. Change your devices name. Not that big of a deal. Look familiar [...]

Keeping It Real Vintage

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

I found this vintage Dungeons and Dragons commercial from the 80′s.  I was way into D&D back then and it seems odd that I don’t remember this commercial at all. I find it interesting that they make it out to be such a family game.  I can’t imagine ever playing D&D with anyone in my [...]

What Am I Watching: Brazil

Friday, January 15, 2010

Last night I popped in my copy of Brazil, the movie I consider to be Terry Gilliam‘s masterpiece. The stark, spartan cinematography is excellent.  The acting is on par.  The story is so reminiscent of other works by George Orwell and Kurt Vonnegut that I personally feel right at home.  The movie seems to be [...]

Why I am boycotting “The Simpsons” and you should too!

Wednesday, January 28, 2009

So I find out today that Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, has lent her voice recording to a robo-call for a scientology event. I can’t for the life of me figure out why she would do such a thing.  So she is a Scientologist.  Big deal.  I can only think of 3 possible [...]

1/4 MAD

Sunday, January 25, 2009

According to the NYT it seems with issue #500 MAD Magazine will be going quarterly.  According to editor John Ficarra: The feedback we’ve gotten from readers is that only every third issue of Mad is funny, so we decided to just publish those. I haven’t read much of the magazine lately but I do pop [...]
