Canceling Xbox Live: Someone needs to die.

Not to nerd it up too much, but I canceled my Xbox Live service today — after much travail. I got an email from Microsoft saying they were about to automatically charge my credit card fifty bucks if I didn’t do anything about it. I popped on xboxlive.com and started to look for the “Cancel [...]

Wii: First thoughts

I have a Wii. It took standing in a line for eight hours Saturday night (until Sunday morning) to get one (in the freezing cold), but I got one. Wolf, I saw your brother there. He has a massive dog. Here are some initial thoughts on the Wii: The position/orientation sensor of the Wiimote is [...]

Walmart will not let you buy things.

I got Guitar Hero 2. This was kind of a ridiculous purchase. Mostly because in a couple days I [...]

I Voted.

11 movie reviews in under 2200 characters

The Birth of a Nation Pretty watchable considering it is: from in 1915, a silent movie, three hours long, full of actors in black face, and generally praises the KKK. Rating: *** Moulin Rouge! I’m pretty sure this movie blew my mind. I did have to watch it in four sittings, whatever that means. Secretly [...]

It’s official: you must be at least *this* insane to participate in politics
