Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

THE HULK vs. JAR-JAR BINKS

I'd pay to see that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Weather is weird. It was partly sunny earlier, but now is back to full cloud and a little rain, much like Sunday.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Disney owns Marvel (and the Avengers films). Joss directed The Avengers. Disney now owns Star Wars.

Mmmmmm....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

People have been speculating that the “Untitled Pixar Day of the Dead Film” might actually be Grim Fandango.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Really? That would be cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How is it a passable business model to run a web company and not have failover of some useful extent? I can't (except I can) believe the Gawker network. Who else is dark because of Sandy?

It seems *fairly* clear they don't have good QA/UAT (errors always get through--I understand that--but when it's really basic use cases like reading and, uh, posting-HAVE YOU EVEN USED YOUR SITE???) and they certainly prefer their SEO to their usability guy, but this outage is kinda embarassing.

Read: ita ! would get her ass handed to on a plate if any of her apps were down so long, and any directors involved would be fired unless the rest of their record was stellar (I think it was downtime that precipitated the booting of my former boss--perfect last straw).

So weird--someone on a con call with me broke up with laughter while someone else was talking, and I had no idea why. She managed to blurt out "Sorry! I had to laugh when you said that!" Not the remotest idea, even if it was me or the vendor she was laughing at, but luckily she sent me an email...containing the copypasta definition of "swimmingly" which is apparently so hysterical it sends grown women into fits.

It surprised me when I read about Gawker, too. It’s becoming more clear that Nick Denton just doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing
