Three stories that made my head explode today.

  1. Ridley Scott is directing a movie based on the board game Monopoly. Baffling.
  2. HBO has ordered a pilot for their proposed series based on A Song of Ice and Fire. Amazing.
  3. Our president elect collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics. Oh, and he’s a Mac user and plays Rock Band. First geek in chief?

Hey, now there’s some great news.

The Graysons, the planned young Robin show that would have replaced Smallville, has been killed.

And there was much rejoicing. It was a stupid idea.

I do not support this message.

The yes on 8 campaign has done a huge buy on Google Ads, so if you read this site via web browser, you may have seen this ad:


Gah! Not me, really.


For the record, I do not support this in any way, shape or form. I have already voted, and was very pleased to vote NO on 8. Please do not consider this ad an endorsement of that campaign.

My fingers are crossed that it doesn’t pass.
