We had Meat do a Cameo for my dad’s birthday. One of my brothers had us add “Your kids said to send nudes. And I’d do anything for love, but I won’t do that” to the suggestion box. Meat didn’t quite understand, and the result was really, really funny. This video is one of my prize possessions.

How do we know this isn’t really Chris Brown in Dicky’s body again?

Oops, thanks for the heads up. My new phone is pretty responsive and that was unintentional. Fixed that, have no desire to follow you or your sad, hate filled, uninformed ranting.

Yikes, who peed in your cereal this morning?

Nope, not trying to be a devil's advocate. Not defending Mussolini. Simply saying that the US has political dynasties as well.

It isn’t terribly different in the US. Our ongoing political dynasties aren’t great. George Wallace’s kid and Barry Goldwater’s kid both held elected office. The Bushes are still a force. Kennedys have a Congressman still. Mitt Romney. And that’s just off the top of my head.

Delete me.

Or, it’ll take the other AMC route, pioneered by Halt and Catch Fire. Start unwatchable so nobody ever tunes in, then become an amazing show after losing all hopes of every gaining an audience.

My wife sneezed in her sleep the other night, and like two droplets ended on my face. It was awful.

WHAT IS THIS, SOME SORT OF GHOST POLTERGEIST COLLECTION INVADING MULTIPLE HOMES SIMULTANEOUSLY?

SO MANY LAYERS. BRAVO.

If you have an Android device, there’s a great app called WiFi Analyzer. Unfortunately, Apple makes it almost impossible to check from within iOS unless you are jailbroken. There are some ways to do this from within Windows and OS X. Here’s a quick guide:

The fastest and easiest way to fix bad Wi-Fi is to take you channel configuration off “auto” and put it on a static channel that is clear of your neighbors.

Absolutely this. Saying, “Oh, there’s this gigantic super secret quasi governmental society with unlimited resources that sort of rules the world” is not a twist. It’s a cop out, deus ex machina, bad storytelling.

What I learned this week: That Penny was, as she tells her new project team, Miss. Corn Husker 2011 and still fits in those jeans!

I think Jacob was saying that there is a forthcoming program from Affinity called Publisher, not Microsoft Publisher.

Still this! They are continuing to support it, just not manufacture it. At some point, something better will come along, and hopefully Google will continue to support this until then.

Insignia (via Best Buy) has had this for a long time. I’ve had this on my bedside for a year, maybe more. Absolutely love it. And they regularly go on sale for under $30.

You do realize that NASA was birthed as a political construct in the Cold War specifically to beat Russians in various parts of the space race, right?

Now, the depraved billionaires just torture entire countries IRL. At least these movies offer an escape where it’s only limited to a few unlucky souls.
