IMMD. (I just got done reading a bunch of those, so now everything excellent that makes me grin is getting that label)
Also, my new goal is to use the phrase "in its least entropic state" in a sentence this weekend.

From the Vault: a design flaw in the otherwise perfect basket
Last night, I stood in front of the open refrigerator and thought to myself, "You know what would go good with this vegetarian chili? That Oaked Arrogant Bastard!" I reached for it, applying my -3 DEX modifier, like you do. A minute later sent the following text message to Anne: "Hey, we're out ...
This is the best thing I will watch all week. So much fun, I would have loved to be in that audience singing along. And your singing doesn't sound like it sucks too bad either.

After playing Rock Band 2 for 2 straight hours and struggling though some songs I've never played before, I was worried that when the videos started making their way online, I'd look like an asshole who didn't know how to play fake instruments, and that everyone would laugh at me. But when I...
OK. Speaking of shirts, not that this isn't excellent, but I just have to say this (because my twitter account is protected so you will never see it there).
If you really loved us, you would get with Levar Burton and the Penny Arcade guys on making a comic/shirt out of "I come FTW or not at all."
Seriously. You have the power to make this happen.

I know, I know, it's so very wrong. But that's precisely why it's so right!
It's disturbing how much that looks like you.

Rich Stevens, the criminal mastermind behind Diesel Sweeties, is a friend of mine. And you, Governor Sarcastic Liar, are no Rich Stevens! Um. What? Sorry. Let's try that again. Ahem. Rich is the greatest 8-bit character drawing guy man dude in this quadrant. His 8-bit creations hold up the w...

As a hypoglycemic let me extend my empathy to you and your situation and tell you that it could have been much, much worse. (alas, I know this from experience)
And as awesome as Jeph and Randall are, I'm pretty sure (being who they are) they already think you're pretty awesome, too.

in which i fail a vital saving throw
It was the end of the day, and my blood sugar was dangerously low. Colors and sounds were louder than they should have been. My feet and legs had been replaced by two dull, throbbing stumps that barely supported the weight of my body. Most of the day, I'd been signing autographs for and talking ...

Dude, if I had a band, I would so live RickRoll people. Holy crap.
I feel the same way about Twitter. It's amazing that a tool that has such a following just can't get itself together.

moon over a ruined castle
You know you've spent a little too much time on the Internet when you're in Maui, taking pictures of a beautiful Sea Turtle, and the first thing you think is, "Oh man, I can't wait to LOLCat this when I get home!" This, my friends, is how my damaged brain works. I'm still on island time, both l...

Because if you can't do totally ridiculous and silly things with your blog for your kids, what's the point of even having one?

This is my first time listening to RFB, but I absolutely love the feel of it. Big fan of old time radio style and music clips.
And is it bad that I am so lusting after Garage Band that even if everything else about Apple sucked ass, I'd still want one just so I could play with Garage Band?
yeah.
I mainly just wanted to say, you actually have an *excellent* radio voice. If you were ever so inclined, you could do this so, so well.
I know exactly what you're talking about with the whole Joe-vs-the-Volcano-esque "going through the motions." I...yeah. I'm there.
Honest feedback? The poker bits are only going to appeal to avid poker players. I'm not one so I skip over those. I eat up the personal bits. If I can tell it's something *you* care about--and I don't mean care about in a 'hobby' sort of way, like the poker bits, but stuff like your family, or a cause you care about, or even stuff like that random audioblog you did where you ranted about the flag doormat--your deepest feelings show through and that's when your writing (or speaking) really shines.
And I don't even mean to say that the things that are happening in your life are the only things that inspire your writing. But I think that when you draw from the things that *move you*...something *happens.*

Recent studies have shown that a purring cat near one's head is the single best cure for the 2:30 AM wide-awake-racing-brain.
Ongoing studies continue in my own home, where just last night I had barely thought to myself, "Crap, I'm tired and I just can't seem to turn my brain off" when Khitomer magically appears at my head with her 450-hp Purr Motor of Steel. I was asleep within 30 seconds.

that spooky generation gap
Nolan and I carved punkins this evening, on the kitchen floor, the same way we have for the last ten years. I was particularly impressed with Nolan's creativity . . . even though put a pretty fine point on the generation gap. Link to the jack-o-lanterns in the dark, on flickr.
