Well the New Oxford American Dictionary (related to but clearly distinct from and not to be confused with the only lustworthy dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary) has gone and announced it’s word of the year…. locavore! A locavore is someone who eats local produce - you know farmers market style, good for the globe… all [...]

Yo yo yo, this one goes out to all my cat people out there. And I know you’re there. I know because this XKCD kitty cartoon was one of my most popular pages for awhile there.

I know you know.

OK, if you aren’t reading Qwantz.com (Dinosaur comics) you’re wrong. I already told you to read Qwantz, so I don’t know what your excuse is. First of all, the comics are funny. Second of all not only does he write the comic, but each comic gets an alt tag (which you can see by hovering [...]

See also my review of Iron Man.
Well, I’ve kind been waffling about whether I was going to be excited for the Iron Man movie or not and whether or not I liked Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Fortunately the trailer is out now and the waffling is over (via scifichick). I’m medium excited [...]

You know I like the XKCD. Awhile ago he posted a comic, which as a comic I thought was funny, but not his best. However, it has inspired real life and that is completely and profoundly awesome (via boing boing). And it isn’t the first time this has happened.
I think my favourite is this one [...]

You ought to check out Dinosaur Comics on qwantz.com. They are pretty much all funny, but some are hysterical. I had too much trouble choosing the funniest, so just went with the most recent. But you ought spend a few moments looking at others, it’s super funny.
Damn, I too wish I would be awarded a [...]

A bit ago xkcd posted this cartoon starring Richard Stallman himself.

How awesome is that two fans subsequently sent Richard a katana (at the FSF offices) - I wonder what the initial reaction was to receiving an unrequested package with a big sword in it was! You can see a picture of Richard holding the Katana [...]
