YouTubes in action
(Full disclosure: All of the following links were culled from this post over at matthewgood.org) This here is what happens when someone who\’s listened to too much Eddie Van Halen takes on pop culture. I was fully prepared to hate this from the moment the clip started, but it was too horrifically brilliant to deny.…

Our dichotomy opens the combat
Greetings. I think I remember how this place works. Apologies for my unexplained absence lately. I had to cut my summer two weeks short to serve on jury duty (which I may or may not make a big post on here), and as such my month of August became a bit busy, trying to cram…

twins to boof: less beef
from ye olde strib: Bonser, 24, is listed on the roster at 6-4 and 260 pounds. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Bonser has worked hard to maintain that weight all season, but now the team wants to see how he will do by shedding about 10 to 15 pounds. Gardenhire said he has spoken to strength…

To paraphrase the great Keanu…
Whoa. Just watch this thing through, it\’s got more plot twists than a lot of movies Trent has dragged me to. (Found via The News Hole.)

after last night\’s twins loss, i\’m tempted to skewer terry ryan (again), but a) that\’s exhausting and 2) aaron gleeman is so much better at it than i am. instead, i\’d like to talk about barry bonds and that little piece of history he made last night against the washington nationals. we\’ve discussed my feelings…

I can has iPhone.
Yes, I\’ve resorted to nerd humor. Sosumi. So anyway, yes, I am the proud new owner of an expensive gadget. I finally decided that the cost per month wasn\’t going to increase much, and that I\’d find a way to rationalize the initial cost-of-gadget. I\’m still working on that, but I\’ve got some ideas for…
