(Much of which will probably come to light via future episodes of my podcast Estranged.) But there’s also a practical reason why I haven’t been […]

Better Facebook via Better Facebook
Better Facebook looks pretty cool. It adds like a zillion features and tweaks to Facebook. Facebook has interface issues, to say the least, so it’s nice to see there’s a way to make it work better without having to wait for Zuckerberg and Co. to make the site work well on its own. Have you […]
New scene released from Atlas Shrugged Part 1
The Atlas Shrugged movie people have released a short uncut scene: I’m still impressed by the overall quality so far, considering the tiny budget and super-rushed production schedule.

(Nearly) Comprehensive Guide to Comedy Podcasts
I listen to quite a few comedy podcasts, all of which are included in Joe Berkowitz’s A Seriously Comprehensive Guide to Comedy Podcasts. His guide starts out with a lot of detail, and then the size and depth of the reviews shrink as you get nearer to the end. I’m assuming this is because for […]
