You’re Kidding Me.
By the way, I’m working on an article about gaming journalism. If you’ve ever worked for a print rag and you have some time to kill today, email me, will you?
Edited, 6/27: Thanks for all the responses, y’all. Turns out there are ELEVEN of you, and you all have a lot of experience in the industry 
Funniest Headline Ever
I’ve got a whole backlog of stuff I’m working on; hence the link madness.
Maybe it wasn’t the funniest EVER, but it was funny: Good Versus Wiivil.
Things We Never Want To Hear Again
The following is a short list of things I would like to see banned from the interweb.
Simple Plan To Meet Most Customer Service Needs
I am going to break my own rule about providing specific advice here on this blog. I made that rule because there is no point in anyone giving me money, which I can exchange for goods and services otherwise unavailable in a strict barter economy, if I’m just sitting here blathering away. But I started this site to provide obvious truth to the seven people who find me amusing, and by god, this is as obvious as it gets:
Bingo!
Ah, NerdCon. (Comicon, Gencon, TrekCon, etc – you know what I mean, any gathering where the original Boomer from Battlestar Galactica shows up to sign autographs.) I love NerdCons. I have loved gatherings of what I call My People since I went to my very first TrekCon and bought a communicator pin that made the chittercheep noise. The featured speaker at that event was some lady whose claim to fame was having been an extra in ST: Original Recipe, TNG, and DS90120. It was AWESOME.
Incompetence, Part II (or, Slightly Less Cranky)
Has everyone read the Peter Principle? It’s one of those books that explains a lot. I heartily recommend getting it, a couple of friends, and a fifth of rum in the same room. Take turns reading it out loud. Take a sip when you recognize someone you know, and do a shot when you recognize yourself.
I’m Cranky. Must Be Low Self-Esteem.
Self-esteem is crippling our nation.
