• Commented on Gay-bashing woman humiliated for wearing hideous skirt
  I have seen a lot of mean hateful Christians out there, but there are those that surprise me with kindness and dare I say compassion, but mostly not. She doesn't look to be "seething with hatred and anger," nor particularly...
• Commented on Steampunk terrarium
  I can see how people might not think of this as steampunk, as it uses copper tubing instead of brass. Perhaps a new genre is in order ? What do you think of "distillationpunk" or "moonshinepunk" ?...
• Commented on Steampunk terrarium
  Personally, it's not my cup of tea. Not to be rude, but I don't think it creates the best atmosphere when people say bkad and feltmountain look stupid for disliking the general aesthetic of the piece. If you put art...

• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495

• Commented on Apple 1984 ad, updated for 2009
  The anime chick is alright, but a bit generic. Are those lines supposed to be the light coming from the door ? I like the soldiers and the audience. Big brother looks and sound kind of lame, as does the...

• Commented on Open design for a 67 TB array for $7867
  One little problem... the Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5TB Barracuda hard drives they used are prone to fail. They also freeze, and combine this with a botched firmware release; there is a reason these drives have a 26% one-star rating on newegg.com...
• Commented on Fundable rips off Hugo-nominated writer Mary Robinette Kowal
  @2 Perhaps he's not such an idiot after all if he's making millions of dollars. I wish I was that stupid. @3 Have you though of high-pressure used-car-salesman-like tv and radio ads to sell your work ? I'll preface this...

• Commented on Jack Womack's underappreciated masterpiece, "Random Acts of Senseless Violence"
  I read Flowers for Algernon (the short story) in English class in junior high. I was absolutely wonder-struck to stumble upon the novelization in a Union Mission store. I read and love it. In fact, I love it so much...
• Commented on That Violet Blue thing
  I posted this one in the wrong thread. :-) You're reading too much into it, and frankly all the name calling is childish. I'll try not to continue your tit-for-tat table-tennis text tussle. Although, it is a little fun. ;-D...
