Just me, wearing my new T-shirt.
My bro-in-law exposed his sons to the Original Trilogy, and ever since then they've been deeply into the Star Wars phenomenon.
I actually was at their place when they watched Star Wars (you know, A New Hope). I was away the next day, when [...]
I have GMail. I use GMail a lot. GMail has some built-in spam filters. It's rare, in fact, that an email makes it to my inbox offering to enhance or expand my body parts, or give me 10% of the Crown Prince of Nigeria's money transfers, or anything of the like.

I am: Jules Verne
The 19th century Frenchman who made science fiction into a successful commercial genre.
Which science fiction writer are you?
So now I've been compared to Ray Bradbury, Bret Easton Ellis, and Chuck Palahniuk (only two of whom I've read, by the by), and Jules Verne.
Last night I saw an ad for Eragon, which ran a bit like this:
"The critics are in agreement! [praise for Eragon]! [praise for Eragon]! Now playing!"

You'll note the quote marks around the word "Enhancement"; my lawyers, God bless their black little souls, suggested [...]
…tonight at judo, one of the guys said I looked "intimidating". Because of my new haircut.
No idea what he might've meant by that.

Granted, the garden didn't produce much in the way of fruit, but at least I didn't have to weed all that often.

I like finding that people who write code have a sense of humour:
This lets you specify which characters are permitted within your URLs. When someone tries to submit a URL with disallowed characters they will get a warning message.
As a security measure you are STRONGLY encouraged to restrict URLs to as few characters as possible. [...]
So we have this little time-waster computer game that is a bit like Boggle, in that you have to create words from a clustered bunch of letters. I was playing it, and in a desperation move I spelled the word ZARF.
And it took it.
Hmmm, says I. So I ended the game and went [...]
