• Commented on What your dad had instead of email scammers
  Badge-A-Minits are still around but they're junk that're only suited to the summercamp arts and crafts scene. I have a good steel one (1" of course, JFrancis) and make a little extra cash selling them to bands for their merch...
• Commented on Something For The Weekend: Finish Those Games!
  Going to finish up the FEAR2 rental that has been sitting here for 3 weeks getting mighty expensive, and maybe I'll wrap up World of Goo....
• Commented on E309: six minutes of WayForward's <em>Boy and his Blob</em> Wii remake
  Wow, this was an under appreciated gem on the NES. I loved the original but can't remember the levels well enough to tell, is this a straight remake or is it all new content? The interface is definitely different....
• Commented on Eve Ensler and "Rape-Free" Gadgets
  Lot of defeatists and responsibility shirkers here. 2 things the average consumer can do are make some noise about the issue and demand to know who sources from where, and celebrate those companies that take an interest in this issue,...
• Commented on How to make your own Moleskine Cahier notebooks
  I've got a friend who learned from his artist father to do this with 6 pack caddies. He's had the same worn out Fat Tire logo poking out of his pocket forever. I love the look....
• Commented on Who gives a damn about AT&T's entitlement to iPhone exclusivity?
  Dear Apple, I would have bought an iPhone by now if it wasn't for my loathing of AT&T. I loathe my current carrier as well but I have unlimited data and text for $35/mo which I'm not willing to give...

  And his current gubernatorial successor was the T-101. Next up, T-1000?...
• Commented on Would you like an "OpenBar?"
  Are Digg users actually liking that thing? I hate having the target URL obscured. I disabled it immediately....
• Commented on Aerogrow Aerogarden Reviewed (Verdict: Unnecessary)
  A friend of mine has one and values it highly. I've been by and she does have amazing lettuce and herbs, and tons of it. I have a very brown thumb and never manage to grow anything so I'm actually...
• Commented on Crazed Costume Shop Owner Pwns Local News Guy Investigating Cyberstalking Charges
  If my googling is correct, I think it might be Ann BrunA if this is the right URL http://www.brunacostumes.com/...

• Commented on Peru's Former President Fujimori Gets 25 Years for Death Squad Role
  Was hoping for some discussion here. I'm curious to hear other input, especially from Peruvians. I've got a friend that moved to the US from Lima just before his 3rd term, and she speaks very highly of his presidency. She's...

  Liked it a lot, and since I can't dance, I was rather impressed by his moves....
• Commented on Blankets with arms reviewed (Verdict: Get the Slanket, if you must)
  I got a fuzzy brown Slanket for Xmas and I thought it was the silliest gift ever. But I use it ALL THE TIME. It's like a robe, but without the drafty frontal areas. I just wish there was a...
• Commented on "COME WITH US NOW ON A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE" --THE MIGHTY BOOSH ON AMERICAN TV!!!
  Sweet! Everyone I know already is in love with this (via the couple XBMCs we all flock to in our circle) but more Boosh is always good!...
• Commented on Verified by Visa: British banks phish their own customers
  I work for an online merchant, and this stupid VbV thing causes more confusion with customers. The smarter ones wind up calling us, but all we can do is refer them to the contact info on the page. Definitely training...
• Commented on More great laptop art
  Loving the Un-Dell "Laptop". Shades of Repo Man or something. Seeing mine in the pool just reminds me that I've still got space to fill!...
• Commented on LendAround: a service that helps you figure out which of your friends wants to borrow your stuff
  There's no way I could get most or even a few of the people I know to join up, cool as it might be (and it'll be a lot cooler with more than just DVDs. DVD lending sites are a...
• Commented on The heart and soul of laptop art
  Just added mine. The best part of having a 17" isn't the extra screen real estate, it's more room for stickers on the back :-)...

• Commented on Patrick Farley sums up the Bush Era: "All Circuses and No Bread
  Not to pee on the Hope party, cuz I am excited too, but it's kind of freaking me out how much newfound trust everyone seems to have in the gov't. Elected officials still lie, steal, and make honest mistakes. There's...
• Commented on Steampunk Vader Mask
  Not sure if I'd consider it steampunk really but very cool lookin. Like if there was an Elseworlds Star Wars series....
• Commented on Flintstones theme park / camp ground in Custer, South Dakota
  Great memories of this place when driving between home in MT and grandparents in MN as a kiddo, fits right in with trips to Bullwinkle's in Alberta!...
• Commented on Chocolate Beer
  There are plenty of pretty mainstream chocolate stouts. I've had Youngs Double Chocolate which is too much chocolate for me, tastes like a candy bar, and Rogue's Chocolate Stout which is much more stout, with roasty coffee and cocoa overtones....
• Commented on Netgear's deck of cards: a tiny video streaming box
  I still can't believe no one's made anything that can beat an original Xbox with XBMC. I know it comes up every time one of these devices comes along but seriously, my jankety old xbox does more than any other...
