Milk-shooting-out-your-nose funny. Warning: contains sound, naughty words, and requires a working familiarity with Internet “discussions”, such like as transpire on various and sundry message boards, forumses, and comment threads. Thank you, Mr. Rowe, for the fine recommendation.

Mac OS X Leopard is awesome. I love it. Apple’s best OS update ever. Better than 6 to 7, better than 9 to X, better than milk to butter, better than John Pertwee to Tom Baker, better than Tinkertoy to Erector. It RULES.

Not too long ago, I was browsing my site logs and found that one of the search terms that had brought people to thornography.net was “how to put yourself in a coma.” Today I found the same thing, but this time people are also here for “how to put yourself in a coma for a few days” and “how to put yourself in a coma at home.” I’m now the worldwide web’s expert on globe luxation, weaponized marshmallows, and self-induced comas.

Now there’s just a couple sites left, and even they technically do work in …

The Book Design Review showcases this year’s loveliest book cover designs. Yummy stuff!

My primary source for television is the TV that plays in the laundromat. In other words, the only glimpses I ever get into contemporary TV fare are the ones I get when I do my laundry. Usually they have something comfortable and familiar on, Gunsmoke or All In The Family, say. Occasionally it’ll be an “entertainment” show or a “hard news” show, which I find lurid and unbecoming to my delicate and refined sensibilities, but, still, tolerable.
