wrestling with Jack

The return of the mighty You Don't Know Jack. If you didn't have a computer in the 90's you might not be familiar with this little gem of a trivia series. What's wrong with you! A daily Dis or Dat is waiting for you!

shopping for discount genes at NEXTgencode.

Is NEXTgencode a viral marketing tool or an ARG? Maybe both. The Beast was the granddaddy of the ARG and The Blair Witch Project invented a new way of marketing through the internet. This past summer thousand of LOSTies participated in The LOST Experience. Television programming has taught us that reailty can be entertainment. So why not try to pass entertainment as reality.

It's sites such as NEXTgencode and ARG sites such as NeoVenus that make me really wonder about Steorn. Just one more thing to ensure we're uncertain as to whether we're paranoid enough.

slowly backing out of the kitchen

Thanksgiving and Christmas are two great holidays. As the year ends we spend time reflecting on the past year, reconnect with our families, and share with those less fortunate than ourselves this year. And we eat meat. I love meat. Ham, Turkey, and for everyone that watched Friends - English Trifle - (What’s not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Gooooood) - the holiday meat trifecta. But sometimes ignorance is bliss. It's called mystery meat for a reason. The Other Other White Meat. From The Gallery of Regrettable Food

In a dictionary


Dave likes to use his big vocabulary. Can you say "re-dac-shun". I knew you could.
What a way to kick off the holiday season! Thanks Dave.

Are posts like these an attempt to share misery? "Here listen to this it will make your eardrums bleed." or is this a commentary on our fascination with losers, failures, flops, and cringe-worthy human egotism?

Answer my maieutic challenge if you dare, Dave.

Escaping from The Austere Academy.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for good young-adult literature. If you haven't picked up the Series of Unfortunate Events books, I highly recommend them. I finished books 1-10 two years ago and decided to wait until the series was complete before proceeding further. Now that The End is here, I decided to jump back in. The first four are a bit episodic, so I decided to begin with The Austere Academy. This is the book where the Baudelaires first hear mention of the mysterious V. F. D.

You've got to have a rather dry sense of humor, appreciate a good pun, be ready to research references to classic literature that you might not have paid attention to at school, and block out a good chunk of time because once you start one of these unfortunate books, it's hard to stop until the unfortunate end.
