I made a poorly-educated decision today, but one that I hope will turn out for the better. See … sometime last night, somewhere in my late hour websurfing, I found a link to an eclectic online music store. Impressed, I tagged it in My Del.icio.us for further investigation later. But as I was filing it …
My review of the Daredevil-sequel, Elektra, is posted over at JIVE. To prepare you for the film — and for the geekier tangents of my review — take a look at the following links: The Art of Elektra: Assassin – A Words & Pictures Exhibit Frank Miller – Biography (@ DragonCon) Frank Miller’s Elektra: Assassin …
The Dread Pirate Rusty has already pillaged today’s Republican-rule-writing article for quote-worthy goodness, so perhaps you’ve already digested the piece and allowed the hawks to fly through your brain a couple of times. Admittedly, you can’t get much better than politicians owning up to the carnal nature of their occupations. But did you catch the …
In the varied list of things that bother me, we find a few particulars involving restaurants. For instance, I have some difficulty dealing with restaurants in shopping malls that attempt to have a smoking and a non-smoking section, because too many of them are so poorly ventillated.

Hollywood believes that Keanu Reeves is the perfect choice for Constantine. With the release date only months away, it is too late to change their mind. However, after some inspiration and very little consternation, I have decided that this man would’ve been the better choice: Trust me on this one. Izzard would’ve been amazing. And …
It is not enough to call it one of my favorite graphic novels. V for Vendetta is one of my favorite books, period. My list-fu has been failing me of late, but putting it in my Top Ten Ever wouldn’t be out of the question. Originally published as a black & white serial in Warrior …
I thought it was just a rumor, but I was wrong. Six Apart has acquired LiveJournal. Ostensibly and immediately, this doesn’t mean much. Six Apart will continue to produce Movable Type and to provide TypePad / TypeKey — though I was never able to successfully implement that system when I was running MT. LiveJournal will …
Charity is not meant to be easy, though it can be. Good is not something we should do only when it is convenient. However, when technology allows for expediency and efficiency, that help and care can be given the immediacy it needs. The United Methodist Committee on Relief now has the means to take donations …
This spring-like weather has proved inspirational for the new sheriff of Clayton County. The newly elected grand gendarme of the south-of-Atlanta constabulatory cleaned house this week by gathering up 27 of his highest ranking peace officers, taking their badges (and pistols and patrol keys), then sending them home. Like a bad episode of The Apprentice, …
