Many of you already know about HopStop.com, but for those who don’t it’s a useful way to figure the quickest way around town using the bus and subway system. Too bad their maps are not as nice as OnTurf’s. I’m adding this to the NYC links. Related posts No related posts.
I was allergic to it as a kid, indifferent to it as a young man, and now, as a full-bellied adult man, I am obsessed with it. Not only is chocolate yummy and good for you, it is also one of those products where the organic, fair trade stuff is hands down better than the [...]
Since Crushinator brought the subject up with his post, I feel it’s necessary to show an actual example of the martial art Squidocto is studying, Yamanni Ryu. This is Shihan Oshiro performing Ryubi no Kun. I think it’s beautiful. Related posts No related posts.

Ugh. Not much better. Where’s the crossover episode? Jerry O’Connell is one of the most annoying actors ever. Except in “Stand By Me.” He was fine in that. Related posts No related posts.
The Yellowstone supervolcano is more active than thought. And the Tetons are sinking. And it’s not really a death posting. It more of a neat geology posting. Do asteroids that hit the earth stories go in the geology or space bin? Related posts No related posts.

Desktop Tower Defense is a totally addictive flash puzzle game. Make a maze to stop little creeps from creeping across the screen and escaping. One piece of advice: maxxed-out squirt guns. For the perfectionist, a chart of items and upgrades. Related posts No related posts.
I have recently had the Masaaki Yuasa film Mind Game (2004) recommended to me. The problem is that it isn’t available in the U.S. in any form, and the nice animation buff who posted the entire thing on youtube had it taken down (probably just as well; it would be unpleasant watching something this frenetic [...]
I don’t know how long this will last, but through some weird glitch at the Mirriam-Webster site, I was redirected to a nice text-only, no advert, no crapola search page. Some of the search fields don’t work (or I don’t know how to make them work, more likely), but check out the etymology field, for [...]
