That’s the gist of this post at io9, which links to this tweet — I will never stop hating that word — from Felicia Day:
Man, day getting worse and worse. Found out my Dollhouse ep, #13 isn’t gonna air. Only on DVD. Such a great part too. Thx Fox. :(
Whedonesque neither confirms nor denies. Drag, if true. Especially since, apparently, …
I cook a lot. I didn’t used to. My father lives on Saltines, and my mother is English, so all in all we weren’t a big food house. Plus I thought of cooking as something cool people did. Cool is not really my department. Nerds are supposed to live on vending machine food. Which I did for a long time.
But you know, sometimes I watched …
An amazing thing happened today: The battery on my Kindle 2 finally ran out of juice.
Amazing because, with the wireless connection off, it lasted nearly two months. I used it about a half hour a day. Glad I hedged in my story and said the battery would last “more than two weeks.”
1) I agree that whenever I have my iPhone on my person, I will never be fully mentally present. If I am at work, I will be thinking about my iPhone. If I am with my wife, I will be thinking about my iPhone. If I am awake and near my iPhone, I will be thinking about my iPhone.
2) I agree that I will not check my email ten times a

– This appears to mark the return of the Cardboard Tube Samurai, or CTS, to Penny Arcade. Personally I think when it comes to continuity they doth protest too much — it generates some of their best stuff. Panel two of this CTS strip has long been my desktop wallpaper.
Wherein I talk to Seth Grahame-Smith about his crime against nature, and literature, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. “If people planted cauliflower in their garden, you might find a zombie on its hands and knees, gnawing on a head of cauliflower, having mistaken it for a brain … “
This may be the blog turf of Time TV critic James Ponzionsoinzweik, but I had to bring it up. ABC’s Life on Mars just aired its series finale. And when my friend’s mom told him what the show’s twist ending was, and he told me, I had to see it for myself. Now, I never watched the American version of the program, but I would argue …
Every year, it’s an ordeal. Some gung-ho sports fan in the office hands out that Xeroxed NCAA tournament bracket. I stare, mystified, at the meaningless grid of confusion. But I do it. I fill it out. Why does picking random winners and losers in sports matchups I know zero about and will never watch take so damn long?
Every …
I’m at a loss to explain why I’m still playing iShoot. I play it at home. I play it on the subway. I played it in between the last sentence and this one. I have played it while in the same room as a perfectly available PS3. How does that make sense?
iShoot is a turn-based tank combat game for the iPhone. It’s incredibly crude: you …
The full cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation was on Family Guy last night. (Also apparently Meg gets religion.) I didn’t see it then. But I’m watching it right now. So can you! Because it’s on Hulu.
(Here at Time we’ve invented a new kind of blog where you can’t embed Hulu videos. So a link is all you get.)
I’m not going to jump into the whole Dollhouse-recapping dogpit. It’s too much work and other people are too good at it. So as usual I’m just going to offer some stuff that occurred to me while I was watching this week’s episode. Complete episode is here.
– Victor: that actor is really growing on me. When he first showed up I …
[Warning: this is what news professionals call a "soft" item, in that it is unrelated in any way to any news breaking or otherwise. Not like all my other posts.]
I don’t mean to get all Lifehacker on y’all, but I have no e-mail in my in-box. None.
I didn’t want to say anything and jinx it, but it’s going on three weeks now, and …
