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: First up on this WTK is the opposite of wealth. That term is “illth” and was coined by John Ruskin as a way of giving simple voice to the concept of possessing damage, discontent, or general ill health (physically, economically, spiritually, etc). In Ruskin’s case, and in several applications, this is largely applicable to [...]
Hot: Skimming through my feeds this morning, I was shocked to see this one from John Brownlee (of Ectomo): I’ll miss @MacTonnies.

With other notable names such as Diana Rigg, Fairuza Balk (a hilarious role [...]

Lonely Places is an amateur text adventure game by author, Call of Cthulhu player and vet Nick Marsh. It’s a call back to the days of old when computer games came in [...]
Hot: Next week, as dictated by The Ad Contrarian, is SHUT THE FUCK UP WEEK. Or as he elects to (more diplomatically) call it “Worldwide No Blogging Week“. It’s intended to span August 25th through September 1st. I for one, will be observing this. It just so happens that I’m taking this time off work [...]

Something I have learned over the past decade is that every investigative hero requires the correct and proper equipment. One thing they require is a sensible bag to store manuscripts and treasures in. Indiana Jones had his modified [...]
Hot: My awesome Lorem Ipsum shirt provided by TeeFury, makers of fine, rare designer tshirts. First off, it was great to see everybody again! I had missed the last two Media Makers events and kicked myself pretty hard both times. Thanks to my cat and the fact that I have a memory like a (rusted) [...]
