Meet the Spartans: another terrible spoof movie →
This is among the most negative movie reviews I’ve ever read. I saw Scary Movie when it came out. It made me angry, depressed, and afraid of the jackasses who laughed at it in the theatre.
"Go to this album" feature in iTunes
I love iPhone’s album-flipping feature which lets you see the whole album when a song comes on while shuffling (or while in a playlist). iTunes doesn’t have anything like that, unless you do this awesome little hack: Option-click the iTunes store arrow with each song or run: defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES Thanks to Michael Hoffman!
The Sarcastic Clapping Family of Southhampton →
I can’t find this skit anywhere, and it deserves to be seen again.It kinda works in transcript form - you can imagine the performances by Hartman, Farley, et al.

Another app for your iPhone/iPod touch, perhaps the greatest one ever. Human interaction will never be the same again. You’re welcome.
Some boat or something
Did you hear Woody Allen isn’t doing comedy anymore? He’s a master of suspense and thrill nowadays. Just have a look at Cassandra’s Dream. I mean, Cassandra’s Dream: The Return of Match Point.

That’s a good thing, right? Ending aside, it’s a marvelously confident picture....
Very old comics posted to Flickr →
They fully cover the range from embarrassing to stupid to hey, not bad. Posting this in hopes that it will motivate me to draw more. I’ve barely drawn anything in the last three years.
Urban Legend ER →
CollegeHumor’s original videos are simple parodies, but as far as those go, they’re really well done.
Wedding plans →
Who knew? We somehow managed to plan our whole wedding while vacationing in Florida over the holidays. Proper invitations will be sent out by mid-January. The date is April 5th, the location is Anderson Park in Tarpon Springs, Florida. We’ll try to capture and share the event in as many ways as possible, so if you’re not joining us, we’ll recreate it on the Interweb.
Gather ye, and hear this sorry tale of the Wii I had and then lost. I’ve been looking for a Wii for a few weeks now; I already have games, controllers, and a real desire to get into the first gaming system I’ve paid attention to since the NES. I’ve been sitting here, money in hand, calling every store I can think of to see when they might have some and who I need to bribe and...
