G is for Greedo
This archive of read-along books from my youth is brilliant. Jeff Gertsmann Twittered about this and I could not escape. I actually still own a few of these records, and used them in my morning-show radio days. Do not miss … Continue reading

An invention I’d like to see
A graphite travel guitar. I was away on business this week and I thought of actually traveling with my travel guitar. Problem is, it’s made of wood and I was somewhere very cold; extreme temp changes hurt guitars. There are … Continue reading

Okay, there’s something about game fans that has always baffled me, and a recent news event has triggered me to talk about it. Fair warning: it’s going to get vulgar. I grew up playing coin-ops and Atari 2600; all my … Continue reading
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Nullus.
Props to fellow Watchmen nerd Ethan Hurd (whose animation work you may have seen in such tiny art-house films as Shrek, Toy Story 2, and Bolt) for pointing me to this open letter from one of the film’s producers, taking … Continue reading
