Okay, there's remakes, and then there's re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-makes. And this one is just about as dignified as those e-mails you get with subject lines that are kiloparsecs of the words "re" and "fwd" in front of them. It's bad enough when the world tosses out mounds of fan fiction and anime and then climbs to loftier heights of embarrassment by making anime fan ficiton.. . . [more]. . .

The beginning of every Fallout game has made a great metaphor for the birth trauma: You grow up, all nurtured and secure in the safety of a giant, metallic womb. Then, like everyone else who was ever born, you have to leave for one reason or another. In the first Fallout, it's because the vault's equivalent of a placenta is going to give out.

Okay, so we used to have an IT director here at work who was the honest-to-goodness human template for Bill Lumbergh. He quit working for us years ago because the company asked him to work for free -- which like... insulted his ancestors or something. The man was amazing.

What is with Illinois? They just love pumping-out collectivist oligarchs! Their latest wild success: Mark Kirk's assault on liberty. It's pretty much standard fare: Strangle freedom little by little until each subsequent generation takes for granted the shackles of their ruling elite. Please take note: The man's a Republican. All you folks who think (R)'s are the gun-lobby bu. . . [more]. . .

I don't know where they've been for the past decade but... apparently, CNN just barely discovered the internet. They call this news?

I'm convinced that Microsoft releases new versions of MSIE just to see how many people they can get to commit suicide. And since my company relies heavily on the infernal browser, I've decided to re-theme my entire testing blog. No longer is it given an obscure name and a brown theme.
