What the hell is wrong with Microsoft?
4I’ve never really understood the devotion of die-hard Apple fanatics. You know the type: the ones who have owned all four versions of the iPhone, the ones who think the Apple TV was a good idea, the ones who will argue with a straight face that Aperture can be just as good as Photoshop.
I’ve often thought it must be hard to be an Apple fanboy. It’s not unlike being in an abusive relationship; no matter how much disdain Cupertino shows for their customers, they continue to make excuses, talk about how much they love their giant iPod, and bend over when Apple launches their next annual More >
The end of an era
51 year ago

The other day, a very sad thought occurred to me. The advent of digital cable means the death of scrambled cable porn. What was once a proud ritual of pubescent boys, switching over to the PPV channels late at night and watching the scrambled feed — “Is that a boob or an elbow? I think I just saw a vagina!” — that ritual is now dead. Bonding with other boys at a sleepover, inside jokes about the terrible music…all gone. It’s a sad, sad day for American youth.
"Those were the daaaaaaaaaaaayyysss..."
I believe a moment of silence is in order.
Watch what you advertise
0I’m not really a ‘fancy watch’ kind of guy. I rarely dress up, and the few watches I’ve owned were Fossils that I liked but didn’t last longer than a year. Because, of course, FOSSIL WATCHES ARE CHEAP WATCHES. So I’ve never owned a watch that cost more than, say, $80. And I was okay with that. Even if I could afford a nice watch (I can’t), it probably wouldn’t be a priority. Lots of other things could be bought with a few thousand dollars. Nerdy things, if not entirely practical ones.
And then I was browsing through this month’s Wired. And I turned to page 91. And I saw…it. A More >
It’s time for straight men to reclaim Kristin Chenoweth
1Alright men – specifically, straight men – listen up. This is Kristin Chenoweth:
She has become an icon in the gay community, and the majority of her fanbase is gay men…and this simply won’t do. Straight men, we are taking back Kristin Chenoweth. The reasons why we need to take action and reclaim her for ourselves are as follows:
- She’s gorgeous. This is kind of a given…otherwise we wouldn’t have to fight the gay men over her.
- She’s crazy talented. In addition to winning a Tony and being a fantastic actress, she’s also a classically trained soprano. You know, the glass-breaking More >
Even more inappropriate Mother’s Day cards

Mother’s day was this past weekend, and if you didn’t know that, you’ve probably already been on the recieving end of a guilt-riddled phone call. However, just like last year, while shopping for cards for those I know that have expunged a human from their loins, I came across some very unusual cards. And, just like last year, I thought I’d share them with the rest of the internets.
Let’s kick things off with a card that seems to completely miss the point.
Did you know that black mothers occasionally need to be reminded of their blackness?
I’m not exactly what a portrait of “whiteness” More >
Whiskey, Dollhouse, and why everyone else on the internet is wrong

1. Media picks up on unusual disease ravaging rural/poor/3rd world country. 2. Disease sort of comes to US. 3. Medical organization says something quotable and easily taken out of context about disease. Media runs with it. 4. Relentless media coverage creates panic. Surgical mask sales spike. 5. Panic spurs politicians and bureaucrats into saying and doing silly things that further feed panic. 6. Media reports on panic, wondering why everyone is panicky. Media questions if panic is really necessary. 7. Media reports that disease wasn’t as bad as hoped, advises people to stop panicking. 8. More >
