Ah the braniacs who use their powers to facilitate procrastination for all mankind…
Can’t You See I’m Busy! is a (hopefully growing) set of games that look like Excel and Word documents to any passerby at the office. Play Arkanoid inside a Word document, a cool Tetris/Bejeweled puzzler in graph form, and a spaceship game with line… Read More
Ah, the console wars, a debate as eternal as the dubbed vs subtitled anime one. I’ve always tried to stay out of it, as my reasoning for getting my Xbox 360 laid in my disability. With the recent price cut, and my subsequent purchase, of the PlayStation 3 however, I now have an opinion about this topic.… Read More
The best 2.0′d comic strip since Garfield Minus Garfield. I love me some Bukowski, and I can’t think of a better mash-up for his talents.
This opens up a whole world of comic mash-ups I’d like to see. Cartoonists take note! (And please add some in the comments, folks…)

I have a dilemma. Can anyone remember what the heck happens in “Where the Wild Things Are?” I keep talking to people and they’re like “OMG I can’t wait best book ever reminds me of my youth yay!” and I’m like “Great, could you maybe go over some of the major plot points with me?” and they… Read More

1. CONCERT Kristina
Rarely does hearing a musical for the first time etch itself so crisply and emotionally into my musical lexicon, especially when presented in a stripped down concert version. Thanks to the soaring orchestrations, unforgettable melodies and above all else, powerful voices, this 1997 Swedish musical by the team behind ABBA and more to… Read More

The Informant!, if nothing else, epitomizes what can most aptly be termed The Soderbergh Dilemma. There are few directors as adept at aesthetic as Steven Soderbergh, for whom I have the utmost respect. I root for his career, for reasons I cannot always explain (though A.O. Scott does, far more eloquently than I can at this… Read More
Allow me to Infomercial you for a second.
Isn’t Gaming a Hassle? Turning on your television, picking up your controller, turning on your console, waiting for a game to load, turning it off when you’re done.
It’s a short-attention span world. We all want distractions, and the easier the better. That’s why there are web games. Little… Read More
The words might be unintelligible, but I think you’ll get the gist pretty quickly. Yes, that’s exactly what you think it is.
This new TV ad is urging you to relieve yourself as you clean yourself- not quite Waterworld, but definitely a slightly radical step towards becoming more green. According to the group that sponsors the commercial,… Read More

Oh Governor Paterson… what a sad state of affairs.
Tomorrow marks 100 days since the BP oil spill in the gulf. I know they “successfully” capped it, but as long as that sucker is still leaking, I’m saying there is still an oil spill. But this disaster got me thinking a lot about the good old days of folk – when popular music regularly included anthems… Read More
When I was in my formative high school days, going to the Warped Tour was a highlight of the summer. Just old enough to drive, we’d pile about 9 bros and skateboards into mom-duke’s Ford Exploder and drive at high speed to Fitchburg or some other pseudo-municipality in middle Massachusetts, blasting Rage Against The Machine and… Read More
