Links! Links! Everywhere, links! I’m buried under them, so let me lighten my load a bit and make you share in the clickable joy of Ye Olde Zany Interwebs:
- You don’t have to be a coding nerd to understand this shirt, but it sure helps.
- Um, on second thought, honey, I’ll take the bus to work today and let you take the bike. Yeesh!
- My first thought upon reading this story was, “Oh no, I hope they didn’t make him smell like sour cream and onion for the rest of eternity!”
- Wow, these photos of bankrupt corporate offices are eerily beautiful. And beautifully eerie, too.
- Sure, The Onion AV Club’s review absolutely eviscerated the new Weezer record, but the video for “Pork and Beans” is freaking awesome.
- Suddenly, my $4.95 for the first minute seems considerably less arousing.
- You may think television is a weird animal, but until you’ve seen this staggeringly hilarious series of freeze-frames, you don’t know the half of it. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, I’m already saving up to buy my “honky” tattoo).
- I’m so elated: “Fontleroy” is still available!

I’ll admit it it – I’ve got a fair amount of envy for musician Jonathan Coulton. And why not? Dude is living the dream: he’s a former programmer who’s managed to cultivate a new career for himself singing smart, harmless pop songs for geeks like me. Plus, the guy is buddies with John Hodgman and sings a wicked cover of Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back“. My latest reason to gush over Jonny C, though, is “Washy Ad Jeffy“, his adorable, nerdy, musical mnemonic device for remembering all of the American presidents’ names in order.
It makes me wonder: if Coulton had been around when I was in high school, might I have actually made it through calculus?

Although you wouldn’t know it – given the precipitous drop-off in posts over the past month or so – I’ve been blogging like a comic-book nerd at an X-Men convention. The truth is, even though I’ve been generating mega-nano-meta-content (how’s that?) like crazy, ever since I belatedly discovered the concept of private posting in early April I’ve been doing most of my blogging on the down-low. (As an aside, does anyone even say “down-low” anymore? Oh well, at least I didn’t say “on the D-L”, right?) Now, while all of this nanopublishing masturbation has doubtlessly saved me thousands in therapy bills – especially given the the fact that the first thing most shrinks will advise you to do is begin a journal (which sucks, because one would assume that $230/hour means you can get away with just verbally spouting one’s craziness rather than having to write it down in essay form, but I digress) – it’s somewhat less-than-compelling for you, dear reader, to keep visiting a blog that never gets updated. Unless of course you hate seeing new content, in which case perhaps you’ve loved it.
In any case, I’ve made a personal vow to start doing some public posting again, if for no other reason than I’m probably more isolated these days than ever, and jotting down things for others to see is at least a primitive – albeit, admittedly, one-way – form of communication with the outside world. So keep your eyeballs glued here, people: there’s more skullduggery, tom-foolery and general chicanery to come!
