“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose.”
Instagram can sometimes make even the shittiest pictures look OK. Instagram overuse can also cause one to be mistaken for a hat-wearing art school dropout hipster from Brooklyn.

I was at Fight Comedy at Blu Jazz last night and they used LL Cool J’s classic “Mama Said Knock You Out” to introduce the comedians. Just hearing the beats brought back some good memories, though the comedy stuff was only so-so.
And kids… this is what good hip hop used to be: tough, gritty but never crass.
I just stood up at my desk at work and clapped for Manny Tan.
What a beautiful looking game. And it’s available for Linux, too! Buy it in a bundle with other titles within the next 24 hours and name your own price.
I was extremely sad to hear the passing of Hillman Curtis. He was a colossal inspiration to me (and surely to many others) in the late 90s and early 2000s with his phenomenal work on Flash and his film work later on. He was a mentor through his books and the brightest beacon of optimism through his constant creative reinventions.
Goodbye, sir… you will not be forgotten.
The more social the animal—where cooperation is highly valued—the more the general population will trend toward one side. The most important factor for an efficient society is a high degree of cooperation. In humans, this has resulted in a right-handed majority.
