Don’t Remember Me That Way

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed a trend I find baffling. And just a little disturbing. For whatever reason, people have begun buying custom stickers to memorialize friends who have died. Here’s an example:

The <blink> tag makes everyone, up to and including Baby Jeebus, cry.

Please stop it.

Still Gets Me

Every time I play my modded version of Civilization III (The Balancer, in case you’re interested), it just tickles me seeing that in order to learn the “Fascism” tech, you first need to learn “Radio”.

So I see a post on Boing Boing titled “The Bedazzled DVD” and I think, “Hot damn! One of my favorite movies ever—I’m talking about the original 1967 version, not that travesty with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser—in fact, I…

Why do they always come in twos?

It only took a week, but the spambots have found this blog and its comments. The nice thing is that I get emails to moderate them (in this case, into oblivion) before they make it to the actual site.

But it’s…
