Have Faith in Leather: Leather Pants as a Signifier of Evil on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That is so the type of paper I would’ve written in college. I’d also like to note that I have made a pledge to buy myself a pair of leather pants when I achieve my weight loss goal. And…

You Mac users might be interested in knowing that Kung-Tunes has had some major updates. This is a little application that grabs song information from iTunes and uploads it to your website. It now handles (up to 50!) recent tracks and has loads of new options. If you scroll down the page, you can see…

Aren’t college students funny? I’m referring to the assclown from the University of Newcastle in the UK who thought he would be really clever and insert “punny” names onto my Trivia Master Board. Unfortunately for him I have to manually vet each name, so you won’t find “I.P. Freely”, “R. Sole”, “Ivor Biggun”, “Mya Butreaks”,…

Today’s Flash Fun: You have to try this weird Japanese game called Roomania that the Snook found. I had no idea what the instructions say, but basically you’re presented with scenes from a person’s house and you have to click on these little tiny people hidden in the picture. There’s a counter at the bottom…

I’m too happy to write in a clever way, so I’ll just spell it out: I GOT A JOB! I had the interview this morning. (I didn’t mention it for fear I’d jinx it.) I start next Tuesday! That’s right, after 431 days I will finally be returning to the 9-5 grind. Seriously, you guys,…

What’s the title of the story? You know, the science-fiction story about the school kids in the future in the place where it always rains and then one day out of, like, every 50 years the sun comes out? And they lock a girl in the closet and she misses it? Well anyway, Sydney is…
