The iPad is Selling Out

June 2, 2010

Many locations are reporting that the iPad is selling out completely, due to its upcoming album featuring the Jonas Brothers. This comes as sad news for the true, die-hard fans who were there for the iPad from the beginning, just two months ago. Does this spell the end of the days when the iPad was the [...]

Turtle:Upside-Down as Limo:Bottom-Out

February 17, 2010

In nature, all kinds of animals get stuck: the turtle on its back, the whale on the beach. We don’t get enough of this hilarity in the City. That is, unless, you happen to be driving by the 24.8% percent grade of Jones between California and Pine. I live just by there, and paused, mid [...]

I had written a silly post a week or so ago about slaying some preteens in a video game. Really, it was about how funny [...]
