The Things People Search – August 2011
Posted by on August 11, 2011
So, one of the things that I can do on the admin side of this blog is see the things that people have entered into search engines that have brought my blog up or that people have clicked to get here. And honestly, some are hysterical. Some are weird as fuck. So, I have compiled [...]

Posted by on April 15, 2011
So yesterday (April 14, 2011), there was an update to Netflix that allowed you to use the Kinect to control the interface. Now, I was unnecessarily excited about this. And I don’t have a good reason.
