Neil Gaiman has penned a Beowulf screenplay, and it will be filmed by Robert Zemeckis using the same kind of image-capture technology that was used to produce The Polar Express, albeit a much more advanced version of said technology. Gaiman has blogged about the project from its inception, and it sounds quite exciting. Today an […]

No pithy statements from me; just go here for some amazing photgraphs taken at night.

Apparently, if your hard drive has failed, one way of retrieving data is to place the irksome drive in a ziplock bag and set it in the freezer for five minutes. (Please don’t do this, as I have no idea if it actually works) As simple as that sounds, some people can screw up the […]

Am I the only one sick to death of the sensationalistic media? Apparently, actual reporting involves too much work, or the media believes the consumer (that’s us folks, we’re the ones buying their shit) would rather pollute the airwaves with Cindy Sheehan.
