Here's something that you probably don't know about me: Ever since I was a kid listening to KROQ on my Walkman[1] I've wanted to have my own radio show. The idea of playing music for and talking to people across the airwaves remains a dream of mine, and it's why I occasionally do my own Radio Fr...
I'm one of three in my family that voted for Senator Obama in North Carolina, so that's +3 votes for this new swing state and damn, I'm proud to be a part of that.
Check out this big ass TV my polling place had, a fire house: http://tinyurl.com/6eksvx
Now that's how you vote in style.
one lever, pulled.
My voting experience was quick and easy. I think I spent more time confirming my ballot was marked correctly than I spent waiting in line. I guess going in the middle of the morning will do that for you. I wasn't expecting it, but the historical significance of the moment totally overwhelmed ...

Holy crap! It's a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! This show is all about Jonathan Coulton, because it's the First of May.Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc! I drop at least one F-bomb in this sho...

Keith Boesky (via DHD) had some great comments on this last Thursday. Just skip past Nikki's crap and read the quoted stuff, it's well worth your time.
"Just to place some perspective on the market, I pulled some information from The Entertainment Software Association and the list of the top selling games from Next Gen. According to The ESA, 85% of the games sold in 2007 were 'E', 'E10' or 'T'. This equates to the 'G', 'PG' and 'PG-13' ratings in the film industry. (The rating system is administered by a self imposed oversight board called the Entertainment Software Review Board.) I went through the top selling games to see what people were buying ratings-wise. The three “M” rated games accounted for roughly 23% of the slightly less than 90 million units in sales represented by this list. Contrary to popular belief, there is no Hostel in there and no Debbie Does Dallas. In fact I challenge anyone to find a single naked boob. More significantly, I challenge anyone to find a single scene involving gratuitous violence.
regarding GTA IV and the morality patrol
With GTA IV coming out tomorrow, the usual gang of idiots are up in arms about how this game will lead to the end of civilization as we know it, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria, etc. As I said in my PAX keynote, this sort of moralistic chest-thumping makes me a little stabby: Whenev...

Glad to see your episode of Numb3rs made it before the strike. I've never seen it before, should be neat to check out.
186, and some other NUMB3RS
The good news is that I packed and labeled 186 books to be shipped. Of those 186, about 30 are international orders that still need customs forms and postage, but the rest are ready to go. This brings us to the bad news, which is that I just finished now, an hour after the post office closed, t...
