Typorgrapher.org dishes it out to NTT DoCoMo like NTT DoCoMo’s blocking the way to the tacqueria:
So, it appears our brand specialist has been drinking one too many Châteauneuf-du-Pape and has gone into a drunken overdrive during a meeting with DoCoMo… oh, sorry, I meant docomo:

View from the balcony

So, I watched some of Town Meeting from the balcony last night, and I learned something interesting: If you squint a bit, you can see which TMMs are reading comics.

A phone call to the ancestral Archenemy Manor:
Archenemy: Mom, I’ve got to run out of town for a few hours and was thinking I’d leave the dog with you guys… I know you won’t be around, but could you ask Dad if he’ll be there?
Archenemy Mom: Not right now…
(strange background noises)
Archenemy: Er… what’s going on?
Archenemy [...]

David Levy:
…the first place to legalize marriage with robots will be Massachusetts, where liberal jurisdiction and high-tech meet.
Heck, I predict we’ll even legalize marriage with gay robots!

Stuff white people like:
#41 Indie Music
If you want to understand white people, you need to understand indie music. As mentioned before, white people hate anything that’s “mainstream” and are desperate to find things that are more genuine, unique, and reflective of their experiences.
Fortunately, they have independent music.
A white person’s iPod (formerly CD collection) is not [...]

Brian notes that Bruce Gagnon (a political organizer from Maine who lists “shoveling snow” among his interests and who thinks “growth is killing our very finite planet”) is foolish to urge us to “Shop local, eat local, and walk local” while asking for home-baked banana bread for Christmas.
In the spirit of Brian’s critique, I offer [...]

More on the proverbial street and its uses for things:
Law enforcement authorities have discovered that people are willing to go to great lengths to get high
And they discovered this when? Recently, or decades ago, a few minutes after deciding to police what people put in their bodies?

So, this afternoon I spent some time sitting in a waiting room at Lahey Clinic, reading a book while waiting for my apppointment. It occurred to me that I started reading the book in the same waiting room, three weeks previous. I was a little chagrined that it was taking me so long to get [...]

Happy friggin’ Halloween

Archenemy GF does not enjoy answering the door for all the cute little kiddies on Halloween. It’s not that she doesn’t like the cute little kiddies - she does - but doesn’t like the prospect of repeated interruptions to her dinner, consumption of HGTV shows, and other oh-so-important things. And she particularly doesn’t enjoy [...]
