Jean-Ralphio is the Amazing Spiderman
Amazing. So much better than the real trailer.
rejectedjokes:
The wonderful people at CollegeHumor edited this together at breakneck speed after so many people tweeted/posted about Jean-Ralphio kinda looking like the Amazing Spiderman. To those editors I say kudos and thank you. To everyone else I say enjoy the trailer now as it will inevitably be taken down for breaking 1000 copyright laws.

On my new gig
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve started writing for The Daily Dot.
I’m utterly stoked about this, since I’ve been a fan for a while and I’ve been itching to write about the Web again.
It has a lot of great writers who are doing a ton of excellent work, and everyone’s been a pleasure to work with. It might only be a couple of days into my tenure there, yet I...

Interview with the creator of the terrific Drunk... →
Great stuff and a grand interview.
However, I’d like to point out I posted an Endless Youtube thing of this last June. I’m totally ahead of the curve.
Meanwhile, check out this video of Nick Offerman building a canoe. It’s every bit as good as you can imagine.

One step backward, five steps forward
2011 was a mixed bag of a year for me. For the most part, things were good. I had a job I liked very much and was good at, enjoyed an excellent week in New York and am now living in a great apartment.
There were a couple of hiccups on the professional front. They were disappointments more than anything, and they were not things I could do anything about, so I can’t be too downbeat....

I have to start this off with one big caveat: I wasn’t sure whether to actually go ahead and do a top 10 for this year. Simply because I haven’t seen nearly as many films from this year…

The Take Over, The Break's Over
Since Scribbal came to an end a few weeks ago, I’ve not been writing as much as I had been. I’ve been doing bits and pieces, but after pumping out 8-10 pieces on a daily basis, I’ve kind of taken a break from writing thousands of words per day. The break actually came at an opportune time: I just moved into a new apartment and I’ve been able to devote lots of time to...

Brass tacks
A little while ago, I happened to watching that scene from 500 Days of Summer. You know the one. JGL has just boinked Zooey Deschanel, so, as anyone else might do, he dances his way to work (the video was posted in a Quora thread, but I enjoy scene, film and song very much). Though I adore the scene for its pure joyousness, there’s one little thing that stands out to me above all else: the...

I don’t know what it is about Minecraft, but I could never get into it. I appreciate the concept and its ability to build an enormous community of players, yet I wasn’t able to get hooked….

I do love me some Game of Thrones and Parks and Recreation. Here’s a little something that combines the two.
A Tumblr blog by the name of The Smart Sandwich has created several…

A few changes at Rival Robot
Over the past few days, I’ve been tinkering with Rival Robot to improve the design and make things much easier on the eye. Today, I’m ready to unleash it on the world.
Grated, it doesn’t looks amazing, but with my limited abilities to make a few minor changes to a WordPress template, I’d say it looks not too bad at all. That logo needs to be improved too, and there are...

Change
There’s a lot that’s changing for me right now and, as a result, I’ve been offline a lot more than I have been on. This means much less tweeting, Facebooking and plussing than previously. That’s changing though, and I’m getting back into the swing of things in a bigger way. At least, that’s the plan.
As you might have noticed, Scribbal has shut up shop, at...

As much as it pains me to admit it, I’m guilty of having used some of these. Hell, I’ve even used some this week. Shameful.

Guardian contributors weigh in on Scottish... →
I’m really not sure where I stand on this issue, or how much of an opinion I’m entitled to have as someone who is currently living outside of Scotland and the UK and who hopes to remain doing so.
I can see both the good and the bad sides of the debate, but I’m really lost as to what it will mean for my homeland.
