Reuters – So Facebook’s anti-nudity restrictions have come under fire by mobs of angry breast feeding mommas as the popular social network started removing photos that were considered ‘obscene’ from user profiles. By obscene, I think we mean ‘showing nipple’. Each user was additionally threatened with account termination if the photos were re-uploaded. Protesters argue […]

IMVU, or How I Wasted My Holiday Part II
I don’t really like ‘chat’ proggies. I’m basically an anti-social bastard at times & am annoyed by people pulling me into IM sessions or trying to talk me up when I’m online gaming. Hey, if I’m gaming then I’m in KILL mode – approach me at your own risk. ;> That being said, I DO […]
Movie Review: Valkyrie
Just got back from the new historical drama ‘Valkyrie’ – which detailed the infamous ‘Operation Walkure’ wherein some of Hitler’s own generals attempted a military coo & assassination on his life. No matter what your personal opinion of Tom Cruise, go see this movie. Take your teenage kids if you have them (like I did) […]
MANswers, or How I Wasted My Holiday Part 1
Nothing says Christmas like bad TV. Really bad TV. I’ve lost at least 2 evenings this week to watching the marathon of ‘MANswers’ episodes being run on SPIKE TV. For those unfamiliar with the show, it is a humorous series of baudy questions addressed with tongue-in-cheek reenactments, gratutious cleavage shots & a smattering of factual […]
Merry Christmas to All
Not going to be posting much in the next day or so due to the holiday. Hope everyone has a great time with family & friends. Don’t get any coal this Christmas – leave Santa a beer.
Fun With Computing
I haven’t been posting much due to the fact the my computer was deciding to arbitrarily crash on me. Kinda hard to get anything done when that happens. After a little research, I had narrowed it down to either power supply, CPU fan or video card. Was really hoping it wasn’t the video card; it’s […]
Hells Fire Sinners – Ravari Room, Columbus Ohio 12/19/08
At Comfest this year, while waiting in the beer line (WHERE ELSE WOULD I BE!?), I met a dude named aptly – Alan Dude. He told me about his band which mixed Bluegrass, Country & Punk (!!) called the Hells Fire Sinners.  Well, since that time I’ve always meant to catch the boys in concert. […]
The Necronomicon [31st Anniversary Edition]
On December 1st of this year, Ibis Press re-released the infamous ‘Simon’ edition of the Necronomicon – a ’31st Anniversary Edition’. Strange-ass book collector that I am, of course you know I just had to pick one up as all the other hardcover editions have sold out very quickly & demand quite a premium on […]
The Scenesters
Found a clever site today – http://yourscenesucks.com. The proprietor/artist Rob Dobi does pretty nifty profiles of about 20 ‘scenesters’ ranging from Emo to my personal fav, the Black Metal Knight [Left]. Each profile has an awesome illustration (complete with a breakdown of the important apparel pieces) as well as fairly spot-on depiction of what defines […]
