“From now on, this blog shall be consecrated in the name of Cthulhu and dedicated to the translation of that Mr. Gaiman’s blog into Cthulhuese, so that the unseen workings of the Elder Gods shall be revealed in all their Eldritch Glory!!!!!!”

Well, I decided to take this humor test that seems to be hitting various blogs around the Internet, including a Seattle friend and my sister.
I’m told after taking the test that my sense of humor is 47% dark, 43% spontaneous, and 33% vulgar, which seems to me a fairly good markup of my different senses [...]
The town of Comfort, Texas comes out as a town to honor one of its fallen. An incredibly touching collection of photographs.

“I came across a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory fan site today which featured scans of Polaroids taken of the five children from the 1971 film, [...]
Neil Gaiman says that if people want, they can begin translating his blog — but not using an automated translator, which produces gems like this …
“I have something immaculateness, which retards from the carpet of the night, which, I must begin back.”

Dunkin’ Donuts’ patent on the surface pattern of a pastry. [...]
I just installed Who Links Here into the sidebar, and it kindly informed me that I’m listed in the blogroll of a certain Diane Duane, who is without a doubt my favorite author. Neil Gaiman and Neal Stephenson round out my top three, but Ms. Duane definitely takes the top spot.
I’ve been a fan [...]
In Chicago, we recently experienced our hottest day in an entire decade when, on Sunday, the temperature went up to 104 degrees, and the heat index went up to 106 degrees. Here’s a screencap for posterity:
It’s at times like those that I cast aside my usual theological quandaries about theodicy and whether prayer is [...]
I used to really think that Boing Boing was cool — and they still do give me many good links each day. However, their quality has certainly gone severely downhill, and, frankly, their humor has gotten rather weak.
Here’s an example of what I mean. Any half-conscious individual would look at this photograph and [...]
I am amused. NetNewsWire will tell me if someone goes back and modifies a post I’ve already read. Rosyna of Unsanity wrote a post on May 16, 2005 telling people that repairing permissions is mostly a worthless panacea. Today, however, he seems to have gone back and added this line:
Covering yourself in [...]

A fantastic Firefox extension - Super DragAndGo.
I’d use this all the time if I was in Firefox … but Firefox drags on a Mac.

MacSlash: “[I]t reminded me of the one feature Windows has that the Mac needs, big time. In Windows’ open and save dialogues, you can treat files like they’re in Windows Explorer. You can rename, delete, create new folders, etc. I can’t count the number o

What’s next for the Muppets? Looks like we’ve got two DVDs, a fake reality series, a new holiday special, a new holiday album, and a celebrity roast for Kermit, at the very least. Cooool.
Guess the neocons have invaded the NYPD now …
New York City police forced around 200 people caught watching pornography to do sit-ups in public to shame them and keep them away from theaters that illegally screen smutty movies.
The New York Post reported Monday that police stopped the screening of a pornographic movie at a theater [...]
I must admit, I greatly enjoyed NBC’s coverage of President Bush’s announcement of his Supreme Court nominee on Tuesday.
Not because I like Bush, or because I like Roberts. Yeesh, no.
But because nothing could be more apt commentary on American sensibilities than this:
“This concludes our NBC special coverage of the President’s news conference. We now [...]
I have to bless the awesome power of Ask Metafilter. If you ever find yourself in search of some piece of information that is just too vague on search terms, or you ever find yourself needing the “wisdom of crowds,” go sign up for and use Ask Metafilter. There’s a $5 contribution to [...]
