The Bryan Adams Story (from Episode 3 - The Karate Kid)
Matt Killmon & Ricardo Gonzalez
IN WHICH Matt relates a tale of a young piano player’s heartfelt performance of a pop smash hit interrupted by an impatient old Korean man, and Ricky almost dies of laughter.
I really should do this show again.

The end-roll from a recent Accidental Tech Podcast demonstrates why I will listen to any podcast featuring John Siracusa.
Delightful.

The idea is simple: I made a Twitter bot that scrapes their twitter feeds. It picks some of those tweets—at random—and stores them. It holds them for 3 weeks to 6 months and then it posts them, being sure to mention the original author’s @name.
I called it @timebot. I set it running just over a year ago.
Clever little short sci-fi story, written as a Twitter bug report. They really went all out making the page look like the actual Twitter bug report form too, which helps sell it.

One of Phoenix’s best tunes, and my current earworm.
THIS IS ACTUALLY ANDREW, ANDREW IS SPOCK
Also me.
Also probably Ricky, secretly.
“The National is the greatest contemporary example of a dying archetype: the self-contained, interdependent, integrity-obsessed, artistically consistent, smart but not pretentious, likably humble, and reliably durable rock band.”

Well, makes for a much better JT tune than the original did. Shame Jeezy’s completely unimpressive verse is still shoved in there.

One of the main reasons I like these girls’ costumes is because of how simple they are. Often times when artists want to re-design female superheroes to be less sex-objecty they end up changing a bunch of unnecessary stuff. It doesn’t have to be like that, just get rid of Power Girl’s tit window and give Huntress a full leotard. It’s easy!
I think this might be my new favorite tumblr.
