Wow, I found the end of the internet

I just did a web search for the exact phrases “severe awesomeness watch” and “severe awesomeness warning.” In each case, google did not have a match for the quoted phrase.
I hearby claim those are my catch phrases!  Until I come up with something else new and lame.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!! vs. DC?

Thanks to Comic Book Resources, I just learned of the in-development game of Mortal Kombat vs. DC.  I have watched the trailer and a few other videos.  This is either going to be the best game ever (for a DC comics dorks like myself) or the worst thing created by man.  There is no middle [...]

Unnatural love

Behold the unnatural love between a gnome and a turtle.  Saw this in Walgreen and just had to take a picture.  Probably due to the influence of the Gnome meme happening on the Slice of SciFi voice mail show.

Thank you, drive thru…

We got a couple Flip Video cameras in at work. We plan to use them to get some stuff for the web and various other things. One thing we’ll do sometime this week is write a review. That being said, Chris took one home to play with to get a feel for [...]

Beer, it kicks ass!

There is an awesome bar in in Washington, D.C. called the Brickskeller. Its my kinda place.  Hell, even their domain name is lovethebeer.com. They claim to have the world’s largest beer selection and it certainly looked like they did. Unfortunately, due to season rotation and popularity, some of what we tried to [...]

What is with me this week?

For the first time in about 11 years, I’m seriously considering using another nickname on IRC.  I think we can actually blame twitter for this.
