I’m a day late on this, but still feel the need to write about Todd Bertuzzi’s statment, as it really burns me up.

Greensburg man guilty of using gnome as weapon

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:53:53 -0400

Excellent example of effective journalistic use of a striking detail. This made my morning.

The gnome, about a foot tall, wore a hat, a blue shirt over a bulging stomach and a wide grin as it sat on a table in open court throughout the two-day trial. Morrison and the weapon were separated by about 2 feet of table, with the gnome facing the defendant. --Rich Cholodofsky

Slang of the Week - Salty

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:46:19 -0400

In case you didn’t catch it last week, we started a new feature called Slang of the Week. Nick and I believe that the vernacular should be celebrated. This week’s slang is salty. I’ve never heard anyone use it anywhere outside western PA, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start. This one is simple, easy [...]

The way I see it

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:45:11 -0400

Most people don’t realize it, but I have very little sight in my right eye. It is one reason why I don’t drive. I also don’t have peripheral vision on my right side. Yes, there are others out there with this same lack of depth perception that drive. I guess I am a bit of [...]

National Post: Jonathan Goldstein

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:35:34 -0400

Wednesdays are a layover bump that downgrade my mindnumbing weekday existence from soul-killing to merely soul-crippling. Each Wednesday, I get out of bed thinking “if today goes like the day before and the day before, it probably means that tomorrow will be like today and I’ll have to kill myself by Friday.”But then I remember [...]

So real you’d want to take her out

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:16:30 -0400

Meet Emily- real or not? Apparently not. Emily was created by Image Metrics (think Grand Theft Auto) and though she’s stunningly rendered, we think there’s something just a tad off on the lips. Oh well, they got the eyes bang-on, which is supposed to be the hardest part to pull over on a human..

I need to shop for healthier food

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:12:43 -0400

I eat cereal and yogurt for breakfast which is pretty good. Occasionally I’ll have a breakfast bowl with eggs, potatoes, peppers and some type of meat. Dinner is usually a chicken breast sandwich or something similar.Lunch is my problem area. I get a lot of frozen dinners but I’m starting to get tired of those. [...]

SAME OLD SONG

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:18:38 -0400

and dance.

Ah, the manufactured drama, the political and metaphysical sturm und drang, of waiting for the announcement of the running mate! The endless speculation! The short-list stakeouts! The breathless updates about Joe Biden's living arrangements and Evan Bayh's wife's hair!

And all for nothing. Because over at Carbolic Smoke Ball, we broke the news about Senator Obama's choice months ago.

With a hot new single on the charts, and with the full support of Senator Obama's daughters behind him, well... it's looking more and more like we were right all along.

Boulderdash Blogging

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:17:47 -0400

I am in sort of a nostalgic mood. So sue me. Yeah I know, I've talked about it before, too.. I've been playing the original classic, Boulderdash for the Atari 8-bit series via emulation. (also on the Commodore 64). My Dad and I were so addicted to this game back in the day. If you're interested, this site has all the poop on Boulder Dash.

I noticed there are quite a number of "remakes" of the original classic (some with original graphics and sounds from the old computers they ran on). How cool is that? In fact, I've been playing a real nice one called "BoulderRush." The graphics and sound are spot on clones of the original Atari 8-bit version(s). Below, you'll find some screen shots:
