Hey Wil. I have to take the traffic school bullet as well, and have been trying to figure out which to do. Was your online school tolerable enough that you'd make a recommendation?

i've got one more silver dollar
I'm taking a break from my online traffic school (shorter traffic school: Don't be a dick, and slow the fuck down). I got a ticket recently when I misunderstood some confusing lane lines in Burbank. I thought they were telling me I could turn right from the two right-most lanes, but the friendly...
Damn, Wil, every time you write about role playing it totally reignites my itch to start playing again. Unfortunately for me, I don't have any friends that will play with me!

a powerful magic-user will destroy all cave invaders
I'm not the only person who was wondering how Gabe's D&D session went. So many people asked him for details, he posted a picture of his setup and talked a little bit about his first time sitting behind the DM screen. His enthusiasm for DMing is just infectious, and he couldn't have picked a bett...
Dude, your dogs are AWESOME.

not so stealthy
Yesterday, the stealth bomber flew over our house seven or eight times. It totally would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for my dogs, who bark like crazy whenever blimps or other low-flying aircraft go over our house. I guess it was doing a flyover as part of a December 7th memorial.

Loves me some free goodies, and there are some great titles in the bunch, but "free and downloadable graphic novels" is a bit of a misnomer. The majority of these (I didn't download all of them) are PDF's of just the first issue that's featured in the collection. Still a good deal, but "free and downloadable samples from a graphic novel" would be a more apt description.
Which is a bummer, because GN's haven't been in my budget for a long time and I would love to read at least half of those!

DailyBits compiled a list of seventeen -- seventeen! -- free and dowloadable graphic novels. DailyBits, calls them "sensational" and I agree. Look at some of them: Fell #1 from Warren Ellis Detective Richard Fell is transferred over the bridge from the big city to Snowtown, a feral district...

Damn, Wheaton. That post gave my heart a lil' squeeze!
I get the same nostalgic fugues now and again, especially this time of year (and for a lot of the very same things as you). Glad to hear that I'm not the only one having the occasional pine for things long gone.

in the heat of the night the animals scream
I know I'm way late to the party on this, but I just discovered the graphic novel Transmetropolitan, on the advice of my friend Ryan. As an added bonus, we saw it in a comic shop with our friend Alan, who it turns out had never read Watchmen or Dark Knight Returns. We convinced him to pick them ...

Great piece, Wil. Love that ending.
I didn't get a chance to geek out with you over the history of gaming attractions since I had to leave before you finished and discovered it on my way out, but OMFG. I wish I had wandered across it earlier. I almost went back Thu just to play those all day!

Future Shock: W2 + E3 = ROCK
I wrote a column for The AV Club about my trip to E3, and it hit the web about an hour ago. It's my first foray into my version of gonzo journalism, and I'm really happy with the way it came out. Take the largest video arcade you remember from your childhood. Now quadruple its size, put it in th...

the one with a lot of random bullshit
I made the (mistake?) of ordering a Venti coffee this morning, and I feel like a little hummingbird right now. So how about a whole bunch of random crap? I love Colin Hay's album Company of Strangers, especially How Long Will It Last? and No Win Situation. Sen. Harry Reid (D, NV) nails it: "Af...

All praise the mighty Disk Warrior! I had a nearly catastrophic HD failure a few weekends ago and SW saved my ass.
