Nickelback: Why They Don’t Suck As Much As We Think

It’s come to my attention that Jim thinks he knows me a lot better than he actually does. In an effort to incite my ever-present and ever-seething rage, he likes to bait me by sending me stories he figures will push me over the edge. But this time he’s miscalculated somewhat.

Pirates of the HD: The Pirate Bay Still Sailing

So I’ve wanted to write about this for a while, but as some of you have pointed out, my research skills have been somewhat less than “mad” recently, owing to a distinct lack of passion on my part. On that note, let me be the first to apologize for my spotty update schedule of [...]

Ten Things I Hate About Everything (Guest Blog!)

New State of Affairs is coming down the tubes for later today, my good friends and readers, but in the meantime Jeff Oh over at Keep Your Coins, I Want Change decided he’s had enough of my sporadic update schedule and has taken it upon himself to remedy the situation.  So without further ado, I [...]

Vampires: Sucking More Than Blood For Over Ten Years

All right. Typically I try not to call attention to media frenzies for a couple of reasons. First, they’re usually not worth my time to report, because all I’ll do is tear it to pieces and that kind of vitriol, I’m told, gets old – fast. Second, I don’t want to give [...]

Living Without Money: Self-Sustainability in Britain

One of the fundamental criticisms of my generation is that we don’t understand the value of money, and I suppose that’s probably a fair statement. All around me I see my contemporaries leaping gleefully onto each and every techno-gadget bandwagon that trundles by our metaphorical front doors; regardless of price, they must own the [...]

Facebook: The cause of and solution to all of life’s doldrums

So I got a call from the Fixer today telling me that Alex has disappeared.  Probably in some ditch with a case of James Ready and a vicious hangover.  So here’s Julian, filling in.

T.O.Night, I Want To Cry: Advertising and You, Part II

My brain is a complicated place.

I’m sure regular readers will immediately identify that statement as another in a long list the of puff-chested, head-expanding egotism they’ve come to expect from me. And while I don’t blame them for thinking that, I actually have a reason for making this assertion beyond my oft-touted megalomania.

State of Affairs: Halloween Edition – Even Scarier Than Usual

Greetings and salutations my devoted readers, and may I be the first to wish you a frightening Hallowe’en (or Samhain for my brothers and sisters in Eire).  I’m aware it’s a day early, but frankly I have better things to do tomorrow than look for things to entertain you.  No offense, but Hallowe’en might be [...]

This Is It? Jackson Docu-Movie Hot on the Heels of Death

We’ve weathered a lot of celebrity deaths this year, and I’ve taken time to write about a lot of them on this blog, or at least the ones I cared enough about to mention.  I think it’s fair to say the most-publicized of these was probably the death of the so-called King of Pop, Michael [...]
