Oh, good grief. I have apparently been crap at actually checking for unpublished comments lately. My humble apologies to everyone who has commented lately whose comments haven't shown up! Y'all are whitelisted now, and should be able to comment without...

OK, so I'm reading through Mike Birbiglia's old Secret Public Journal entries, and I found this one in which he says: "I don’t even Google myself anymore; I get “Google alerts.” Which means the Google Robot emails you when you’ve...

Well, I was a good little Mozilla fan and downloaded the new Firefox today. Apparently they're going for a record number of downloads, so everybody upgrade their Firefox! I'm not entirely sure I like the new look, frankly, but I've...

Hollywood has lost an FX titan. Stan Winston, a genius of special effects, is dead. I am really saddened. I know his shop will probably endure and the folks he's worked with will continue to produce beautiful effects, but to...

We here at Youhaas Global take our fake music very seriously. How seriously, you ask? So seriously that we have seven fake guitars, and will be acquiring an eighth with the purchase of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith in a few short...

Naamah proposes that women complain loudly about misogyny more often. I think she is onto something.And the sad part? I don't think to mention this shit when it happens, because it is fucking background noise. It is so endemic in...

So, I'm a fan of Metalocalypse. I saw the Dethklok show in Berkeley and had a great time, so when I heard Dethklok would be playing the Fillmore in SF, I had to go. Right? Right. So last Thursday, I...

Well, it's official. I'm an Iron Man fangirl. The first time I saw the movie (for my review), I loved it. I was a trifle bored in the early bits, because it's paced like a drama and I had managed...
