God is dead...
Submitted by Alex on Thu, 2008-09-04 20:11. my heroes | obit | rant...Or at least the "Voice of God" is dead. Don LaFontaine, voice-over artist extraordinaire, passed Monday, September first.

Guaranteed to annoy
Submitted by Alex on Sun, 2007-10-28 21:47. rant | tvMan, I just hate those annoying little abuses of grammar in tv ads.
One of the biggest on my list is 'and it's guaranteed - or your money back!' Oh? What, pray tell, are you guaranteeing? If there's no guarantee info in the package, does that mean I get my money back? Come on, people.
I wants me one of these

Nothing much
Submitted by Alex on Mon, 2007-10-15 02:28. comics | linksI don't have anything to post about, but I have been catching up on a lot of webcomics lately. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order.
Primarily, they're scifi or geek related.
Have fun!
