You wanted a picture of Mike’s beard. I think I captured it pretty well.

Tough choice
I love getting punched in the face.
A friend of mine is teaching her students stage combat, so I pulled some books for reference. This one had the most detailed poses, but the expressions were so incongruous. One picture had a girl kneeing a guy while she maintained a cold, robotic stare. She looked very much like Anne from Arrested Development. (Her?)
An honest answer
I just filled out a survey about the graphic design for Faster and Furiouser (or whatever it is). I shared my honest thoughts.
I needed a byte to eat.
No unicorns were harmed in the making of this couch gag.
Once again I’m finding stuff late (that’s what happens when you spend your leisure time researching hats from 1912 instead of watching TV), but have you seen the Banksy couch gag intro for The Simpsons?
Here’s their explanation.
Jimmy Fallon’s History of Rap
This should balance out the GoGurt music:
Cathypocalypse Issue 2: Cowabunga Cathy
I feel that I’ve done a halfway decent job of recreating the Eastman and Laird fun of the early 90s.
Oh, that’s right. That’s when mutated turtles were supposed to be gritty. Sorry for the use of the word ‘fun’.
Watching Jim Henson make Muppets makes me want to make Muppets. So cool.
If you haven’t watched the a capella Inception trailer, remedy that immediately. My kids still crack up, which is a testament to its genius.
Both my fantasy teams won this week, which is a testament to the power of injured reserves/back-up quarterbacks.
I’m 20,000 words into my steampunk novel, which is exciting. (Thanks, Dad, for loaning me the books. Hopefully your favorite President doesn’t get too mangled by the end.) 20,000 words; only 50,000 more. It’s times like these when I’m glad that OSX Spotlight does arithmetic instantly in the search box.
This next link is for anyone who plays Star Wars Saga Edition and/or is a reference nerd. Jesse found the ultimate index.
It brings a tear to my eye because:
- It is a thing of beauty.
- Now all the books, who people were paid to write and organize, can finally be used.
- There are hours of searching on Star Wars nights that we’ll never get back.
Thanks again, Jesse, for the find.
I must also highlight the Futile Ohm again for his Microsoft generosity. The Redmond company is seeping into my brain.
A special thought from the Futile Ohm
Cathypocalypse Issue 1: Darkness Rising
This one’s for Jeremy
I agree with the author of the comic. I am always tempted to blast the opening credits song from Star Wars and drive backwards.
Some SEI encouragement for my brother
I installed a plug-in today to search for related posts and create links when you click on a post’s title. As with the Improbability Drive I installed in the bloggh, this new addition is great for viewing old posts that I had forgotten about. First off, click here for a song I had forgotten about and then read this comic, specifically brought back for my brother:
When you’re so focused on one thing…
The sign I posted on the door today.
I interrupted the district’s retirement counselor after school today as he was calling in concern to one of the superintendents. He was worried that he would have many angry people because of a location change.
He started to tell one of the superintendents that there was some kind of outbreak in the library and he was worried about infectious diseases.
I explained to him that ‘Overtakers’ are villains in a book series.
I’ll have more thoughts later this week on my professional site about the author visit.
Fear will keep the local affiliates in line.
To whom it may concern:
In the course of entertainment, it becomes self-evident that power must be held by the few or the one – that one being myself. With your investment, I plan to offer programming that the masses will enjoy, the masses that many have chosen to exploit. The fire of Leno has gone out of the universe. We, a new entertainment order, will terminate the other networks. Immediately. All will be made right in the galaxy by instilling peace through might.
You don’t know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate them. NBC was charming to the last. But lying to us about the time slot location of Conan O’Brien was inexcusable. Perhaps they will respond to an alternative form of persuasion.
Please consider helping us bring Conan O’Brien to Late Night for good. With our prospective network, the regional broadcasters would have direct control over their territories. Air Conan O’Brien at a time slot that he deserves. Join us – or die.
Thank you for your time and interest,

Warning: Things that can kill you have a chance of killing you
For more questionable reporting, check out how some news sites are running the the headline ’911 Called at the Tiger Woods Residence’ only to find out it’s his mother-in-law with stomach problems. William Randolph Hearst salutes you.
In a shocking news release yesterday, the EPA told reporters that greenhouse gases could kill human beings.
This is very unnerving, indeed, considering how greenhouse gases have only received praise from the media. This tarnishes the impeccable reputation previously sustained by greenhouse gases, putting them in the same league as kilohertz and Niehls Bohr for scary-sounding science vocabulary.
One neighbor was quoted as saying, “I don’t think any of us could see it coming. Greenhouse gases were always such good neighbors. They were quiet and kept to themselves. It’s a real shame, if you ask me.”
In other news, Richard Branson, winner of The Bloggh’s 2008 Beardiest Billionaire Award, finally made it possible for people with lots of money to escape the confines of Earth and rise above their tortured existence of having lots of money and getting what they want. I’m glad their dreams can finally be fulfilled.
In keeping with VSS Enterprise tradition, Branson gave a Shatner-esque double thumbs-up, called a spaceship sexy, and put a picture of a woman in tights on the hull.
It could have saved us a lot of trouble…
Overstreet Accused of Performance-Enhancing Genie Use
Just because he carries a lamp with him everywhere he goes is no reason to throw allegations around.
I find it ironic that no one has mentioned Babe Ruth’s Groundhog Day scandal.
Perhaps posterity forgives you for living the same day over and over again, doing mainly batting practice and hooking up with Andie McDowell.
Have you seen the Squirrelizer? Tons of fun. It’s in reference to this.
Total Eclipse of the Heart: NAU Previews Drug Song or Something Else?
I’m taking a quick break from novel-smithing (just passed the page 150 mile marker…woo and oot!).
I mainly put this up for my wife, but many people have so many memories with Total Eclipse of the Heart. Sure, the Lifehouse skit has deeper meaning, but this song has etched into my brain people in black sweatshirts turning around to reveal all of college’s temptations. I guess with the advent of High School Musical 4, life’s tough lessons must now come through song.
But this video here tells us the true story of Total Eclipse of the Heart:
Before the Days of Litigation
Worker’s compensation was easier back then.
Gavin is in the land of kangaroos and Master Blaster and found this wonderful piece of evidence engraved near the Harbour Bridge (Google Maps 1, Bing 0 (better angle)).
Mike, does this answer your Conduit question?
Click the photo (or here) to zoom in.
Imagine a Wii game where the studio took their time, thought through the storyline, and perhaps (wonder of wonders) have read a few books?
And they reference Cloverfield with They Live – what more do we need?
