Hot: Deep within the earth, in bunkers whose walls drip with strange luminescent ichor, lies the headquarters of a sinister organization. Their sworn duty is drain the precious, vital blood from every living thing, no matter how long it takes or what sickening tactics must be employed. Their name: The Red Cross. They are ancient [...]

From the heartlands of Ectomo to Wired’s hipster hovel blog The Underwire and beyond, it’s being talked about non-stop. Chocolate Rain, that agitatingly infectious little ditty from a little while back, caught the attention of the Dr. Pepper [...]
Hot: I came across an article in The Register a little while ago about one mom’s fight to keep a 29 second video clip of her son dancing to Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” up on YouTube. In summary: The PA resident, Stephanie Lenz, had placed a 29 second clip of her dancing baby boy up [...]
Hot: So here are a couple of interesting links: Opera Equivalents to Firefox Extensions Part 1 And Opera Equivalents to Firefox Extensions Part 2 Both articles are pretty interesting if you are a Firefox user or an Opera user.
