Well, I got back in last night from Mexico, which was awesome. At some point I’ll probably post some pictures and some words, but the executive summary is that vacation == great. You know what I’m saying? Also great == Oaxaca. So, you know, good times were had, pesos were spent and now I have [...]

Couple’a interesting Whedon bits here. First, he’s planning on doing one webisode of Dollhouse per TV episode, so 13. (via) Hot damn! They may be shown between episodes. We’ll see, but that’s pretty great. Turns out Joss knows a thing or three about how to do well on the internet. Also you probably want to [...]

I know, I’m trading one monopoly for another, but I guess in their competition, maybe they’ll stop being monopolies and start caring about their customers.

Ok, it’s been a long while since I’ve talked about the Kindle, mostly because it’s just been plugging along, business as usual. The Kindle stores up to like 140k titles now, which is good, but definitely needs more. Now the big rumor is that the next version is going to be rolling out sometime around [...]

It’s tough for the kids these days. They live in a dangerous world. Exposed to the horrors of sack and three-legged races, sometimes they can fall down. Wait. What? That’s right, a school in Washington has banned them from a school sports day because children might fall over and hurt themselves. (via) It’s crazy. What’s [...]
