I’m on Spring Break this week, so forgive the erratic posting. I’m currently sitting in Seattle’s in Wooster, Ohio, posting links and closing tabs while someone that sounds an awful lot like Joss Whedon (in his Firefly guitar mode) is strumming away on the stereo.

There’s not much to the site yet – it’s only one page and is almost purely utilitarian in nature – but I liked the way the blue compass logo medallion came out. Like the site, it’s […]

I have just had my socks knocked off by a video testament to multifandom set to Regina Spektor’s Us, crafted by a fan named Lim. Doublepluscool points: Henry’s in it!

I wanted to like this product. I really did. Back in August I made a quick lust-post about the Belkin Concealed Surge Protectors, and today I found them on price markdown at Target, from $49.99 to $39.99. One of my bad habits is cleaning like crazy as a distraction when I’m stressed over a deadline […]
