    From the Onion News Network: “Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’“

  • Geeks’ Dream Girls

    Without even looking beyond the title, I can name 10 women who HAVE to be on this list: Lynda Carter Barbara Feldon Raquel Welch in the fur bikini and/or swimsuit Lucy Lawless Nichelle Nichols Yvonne Craig Julie Newmar Michelle Pfeiffer Carrie Fisher Margot Kidder (even with the crazy) Teri Hatcher (even with the crazy) Probably…

  • Best font is a superhero, of course

    Font Conference.

  • Morning laugh

    I found this in my bookmarks. It was shown at a conference I attended in Boston in late 2007 as an example of how international signage can be funny: One-legged woman petting a duck that pooped

  • Doesn’t look good for Toni

    I’ve said before how I always love it when the comic strip Luann gets back to focusing on her older brother, Brad. Frequently, these are the most dramatic story arcs…and it looks like we may be in for a doozy. I really hope Toni doesn’t die. Need to catch up?
