I’ve added two new bits to the site. The first, you’ll see in the bar to the right, a new section entitled “For Sale,” which will include links to items I have for same on Amazon Marketplace, Half.com or eBay. The second is also on the right under “Navigation” a new link to my DVD collection, which will be updated with some better navigation shortly. I’ve exported the current pages out of DVDpedia, which I now use to keep track of my collection. If you run Mac OS X and have a large movie collection, I’d encourage you to check it out.

I just heard that my friend Mark Darin’s latest adventure game, A Case of the Crabs, has been reviewed in the New York Times (free registration required). Check it out— for the curious, I’m the voice of Arthur and The Thug. Whooooo!

So, this is the traditional costume of These united States of America? I suppose it is vaguely reminiscent of certain Native American garb, but I think a little bit of “Vegas Showgirl” has crept in there as well.

Update
I’m now linking to the image directly. The original caption read:

Well, finally! Lookit-Intense Films is finally offering its first DVD available to the public, Weather Man, by The Fuzz. This film won the DC 48 Hour Film Project last year, and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. Now, you too can have your very own shiny disc, playable in your set-top DVD player or computer of choice. Enjoy!

So, today I’ve added a new colophon to the site. I also— oh… —ahem—

col•o•phon n. an inscription placed at the end of a book or manuscript usually with facts relative to its production

Anyway, I also noticed that this is, officially, my 250th post. Huzzah!

Oh, er…

huz•zah n. an expression or shout of acclaim— often used interjectionally to express joy or approbation

A new trend in email spam is to add a couple of random words from the dictionary to the end of the subject heading, which somehow appears to trick the spam filters into thinking it’s not spam. Obviously annoying, as I’m getting more spam, but it allows for oddly entertaining subject headings, such as:

Big Natural Breasts… reappear akimbo, or
MlLFs – MlLFs – MlLFs dehydrate carnivore, or
Trans-x-uals, Girly Boys… !!!! northerner resins

That is all.
