  • Remember the Blogger Code? Someone is accusing Ron of stealing it, despite the fact that the two versions have nothing in common but the idea of a “code”, which can be traced back here anyway. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all about integrity on the web (especially as regards stealing images). But God, we can…

  • Ethan won. Damn. I called that totally wrong. But at least I successfully avoided the spoiler for 24 hours.
