The Bulldogs are Cheating

Still too busy hereabouts to do much actual writing, but there is still a vegas story or two to come, I promise (in addition to a tale of sweet lion-y almost death) In the meantime here is a great article that was linked to me.

Apple’s design team takes another nosedive into stupidity today.
What were once some of the nicest notebooks on the market have been neutered yet again as Apple has eliminated removable batteries from the macbook line. Another fun change is exchanging the express slot (on most models) for an SD card slot rather than just adding the [...]

Hey kids!  It’s time for another installment of 3 Quick Hits. Three things I find silly or cool or whatnot but that don’t really merit me writing much about them.

Last week was South by Southwest time again, reminding me again that I wish I had more time to seek out cool/weird new music. Not to mention a few grand for travel, accommodations and a platinum badge, plus a few more for show access bribes… Thanks to the crew over at the AVclub and Decider [...]

As you gather your wits after that stupidity, I’d like to ask… What are your favorite incredibly stupid but really funny as a result death scenes from movies? There’s a [...]

As many people know I’m a bit of a Russophile; I love old propaganda posters and probably know more Soviet and Russian history (both political and military) than I realistically should as a Canadian kid who grew up in the 80’s. I know how to swear in Russian, took a year of Russian in university [...]

Doc Marten’s is having a contest whereby they’ll actually make one of these. I just want to see how far I can get up with stupid ideas. The goons from SomethingAwful.com are thoroughly ruining the contest already for the enjoyment of all. Go vote “Love it!” for my boot!
