Morning, all! I thought I’d take a moment between dropping the kid off at daycare and buckling down at work to remind you that Everyone’s a DJ will host its fifth anniversary party this Saturday night at Disgraceland. I hope you all can make it, and I thank you for your patience as I work […]

During the next little while, I’m planning to rethink and redesign this website. I’ve been threatening to make a bunch of little changes for a while, but the time has come to go beyond small improvements and start thinking about an overhaul. The blog could use some major organization, a little more focus, and a […]

Gone are the days, and rightly so, when anyone could argue that video games are just for kids. But the hot-button debate over who these games are meant for – and over who does, and doesn’t, get to call themselves a “gamer” – rages on like never before. That’s why I’m glad that the good […]

Last night, I linked to a news item on the A.V. Club website about INXS, who announced their breakup on Sunday night while opening for Matchbox Twenty. In his typically snarky fashion, News Editor Sean O’Neal wrote that INXS had officially declared the end of its musical career, “despite this already happening 15 years ago.” Not so, my friend […]

Election night is here, and as long as I’m issuing public service announcements, I thought I’d take a moment to remind you to check the privacy settings on your social profiles. It’s easy to forget that networks like Twitter and Facebook are public forums, and a few minutes updating your settings tonight can save you […]

Congratulations, Americans! After years if not decades of campaigning, your big day has finally arrived. It’s time for you to go the polls and make what everyone in the world, except for you and apparently Pakistan, knows to be a blatantly obvious choice. We’re counting on you to make the right decision, but that doesn’t […]

When old age shall this generation waste, thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” That said’st, to finally know which Kardashian sister be which, and not […]

It’s important to take some time at the end of each day to reflect on your successes and failures, and to think about what you might do differently tomorrow. Pauses like these keep you in tune with your big picture, and they help you live your life in accordance with your own philosophy. In my […]

Say what you will about Republican Congressman Joe Walsh, but at least he was already a fairly well-known politician, if only because of his history of public embarrassment, when he declared his ignorant stance on abortion this past Thursday. He may be a lot of things, but his chances of going down in history as “that […]
