Jackass Of The Week: John Gruber

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 Android [...]

I Must Break You

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.

An Open Letter To Steve Jobs RE: iPad Naming

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.

Look familiar to you?  [...]

Keeping It Real Vintage

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 family. [...]

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

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 scenarios:

1/4 MAD

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 into their website [...]

Jabberwocky

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Image via Wikipedia

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by [...]
