• Big grump waves goodbye to Star Trek

    I’ll have a lot more to say about Star Trek: Enterprise’s cancellation, but for now check out Orson Scott Card’s gleefull Strange New World: No Star Trek in which he gives a departing kick to a show that he clearly deems a bastard son of sci-fi.


  • Who’s searching our site already?

    I don’t know who was searching our site for Batman Begins news, but I think it’s worth pointing out that we don’t have our archives up and running yet. Maybe they’ll be restored, and I’ll certainly announce it when they’re back up.


  • Good thing Micah Ian Wright came clean when he did!

    Veterans’ Web Sites Expose Pseudo Heroes, Phony Honors. Turns out there are 300 people claiming to be a Navy Seal for every actual Navy Seal. [Hat tip to Lucianne.com]


  • Getting up and running

    Here’s what’s happened: I had to upgrade Monitor Duty to a newer version of Moveable Type. The old version was far too prone to sabotage. I’d disabled the “comments” section long ago because it was too-easily spammable; however, while comments weren’t on the site, they were still being generated every day by spam-robots. I was…


  • We have a site again!

    Okay, okay, the thing is grade-a cheesy starter page, for the moment. But it’s up and it works. I may try to salvage the archives; we’ll see if it’s possible. I’m also playing with ColorCache to try to find a site color scheme that I like.


  • Well put!

    A great cartoon about the turnout for the 2004 election, which was said to be almost 120 million people across the country. (Here in Minnesota we had a just-shy-of-80% turnout.)


  • Oh, mannnnnn

    I hate the Blood Sucking Monkeys. Worst band to come out of Seattle since Hole.


  • Watch that testosterone

    Beau Smith, the man who gave Guy Gardner Warrior his powers and his bar, has Five Manly Questions For Geoff Johns, the guy who just blew up the bar and is stripping Guy of his powers.


  • Vote for the Kennedy of your choice, but vote!

    I just got back from voting. In 2002 I went to my polling place in the evening and there wasn’t a line. Of course, that was an off-year election and a different time of day, so there’s not really a basis for comparison. Today, there were about 40-60 people ahead of me and it took…


  • Day By Day to return in one month

    I really miss reading “Day by Day”. Chris Muir had to halt his daily web comic a couple months ago due to family health problems and his strip’s absence during this political season is profound. Now, Muir informs me that not only with the strip return on December 1st, but books will follow! Congrats, Chris.
