Andreas Englert: The $64,000 question is:
Andreas Englert: Do they have a porn filter?
Ben Englert: good question
Ben Englert: let me check
Ben Englert: nope!
Ben Englert: none.
Ben Englert: it's probably illegal to look at porn here, though, since it's technically a public place
Andreas Englert: Well, midwestern families can now be riled up.
Andreas Englert: And call Richard Branson a family-values hating Cambodian communist.
Andreas Englert: We in the world of Texas call this "ammunition"
Ben Englert: regardless

Should I be worried if my non-asian boyfriend sent me this..?

A PostSecret reminded me
Why I hate Catcher In The Rye.
About every three pages, he describes something that someone did and follows it with, “that killed me.”
Besides the fact that I have a problem with people who take life that seriously, if so many people kill you, WHY AREN’T YOU DEAD?
(And yes, I’m aware that the statement has metaphorical underpinnings and that I’m just being a...
Many pictures not taken
Of a wonderful belated Valentine’s Day date last night. While we were too busy to take pictures of where we were, plenty of Flickr users weren’t.

Gossip Girl has started taking itself much less...

The more I sit in this class (a liveblog)
The more thankful for my current job I become.
For those who don’t know, I’m sitting in CS/IS Overview 2. It’s a tech industry “soft skills” class and the last couple of weeks have focused on professionalism in the workplace and the mechanics (legalities, taxes etc) of being employed. Besides the fact that this is old news to me (I’ve signed plenty of NDAs and...
Tomorrow, Tom Leykis goes off the air
KLSX in Los Angeles is changing formats at 5pm - smack in the middle of Tom Leykis’ show. (They’re going Top 40. Ew.)
I’ve never actually lived in Los Angeles or been there with access to an FM radio while the show was going on, so I’ve always heard it through podcasts and, more recently, streaming on my iPhone.
Most of you would probably find it to be a base and...
Confirmed:
Buttloads of original series and motion picture era Star Trek on Blu-ray.
ST:TMP was criticized for too many long self-indulgent starship exterior + orchestral score sequences. But as nerdy HD candy… That’s perfect!
Also, it is unfortunate to note that this was an easy release for them to do. The original series and the movies were shot, edited, and mastered on film (practically...
