To be filed in the ever-expanding “WTF?” folder – PETA protests the chicken dance.

Greatest Garden Gnomes Ever!
I’ve been catching up on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles via DVR and it saddens me that the Terminator franchise has been reduced to a series devolved to a soap opera revolving around teen angst. **Edit** After getting all the way caught up, I should point out that all the teen angst [...]

Brandon Sanderson to split the final installment of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series into multiple books. Personally, I both love and loathe the WoT series.

February 5, 2009

I don’t twitter. I don’t even have a desire to twitter. If I did, I’d sign up and do it.
There is a trend running through a few of the blogs I read where the authors are blogging their conversations on Twitter. I don’t really get this. Blog is blog… Twitter is… well honestly I don’t [...]

Everyone wants Labonte

January 14, 2009

On Monday, the NASCAR rumor mill was buzzing with the DEI-Ganassi Racing merger. For me the big news wasn’t so much the merger as were the whispers that Bobby Labonte was on the verge of inking a deal to run the #8, which would bump Almirola (also a former JGR driver)  into a 4th, unsponsored [...]
