Hot: Crystal, author of Big Bright Bulb, is an amazing woman. She’s vibrant, she’s forthright, she’s clever and inspiring. Lately she touched on a subject that’s been near to the surface of my mind and a thorn in my heart: Laziness. There is often so much in life that needs to get accomplished, and if [...]
Hot: Here’s a little social experiment: Erase your MySpace page. Go ahead, you’re going to have to trust me on this one. And while you’re at it get rid of your Facebook page as well. Right now, I’ll wait. Also delete your LinkedIn profile and take yourself off of Match.com, Friendster, and Classmates.com. Peekyou, Flickr, [...]
Hot: It’s been a very Twitter-heavy weekend, as previous posts will demonstrate. I had a brief spat with some woman named Amanda Chapel because I had issues with the idea of arguing against the merits of internet culture on the internet.

I’m contemplating talking about a serious subject that came to mind through a dubious link conspiracy theory is weird, the truth is usually weirder. Hey how many [...]
Hot: I never thought I would be able to turn to a webcomic to astutely sum up the values of restraint and respecting others perspectives (regardless of what you may think of them. I just discovered WE THE ROBOTS, a thrice-weekly strip in ye old internet, a little earlier. While skimming through the backlog from [...]
Hot: Oh Wonder Woman, with your silly, patriotic outfit, and your invisible jet, and your cuffs and lasso, what an icon you are! Jamar Nicholas, comic artist and traditionally-trained animator, has set about the task of collecting artists’ renditions of this comic book momma as big, bold, and beautiful as possible.

Hot: DUN DUN DUN…. An article over at NewsTarget.com gives an insightful look at the ingredients and promises put forth by some of the biggest names in fast food.
