My new favorite RSS feed suggester, digester, and recompenser Toluu (first talked about here) just released some nifty new features. My absolute top favorite is pictured below: Every feed in the system now shows how many people are subscribed to it, and you can click the tab to see who is subscribed to the feed. […]
2008: the year of the 360 RPG?
I know that the Wii has some RPGs on the way, but it looks as though 2008 might also be the year that the Xbox 360 gets some quality RPG goodness of its own. Infinite Undiscovery from Square Enix slated to hit the US at the beginning of September. The Last Remnant, also a Square […]
What the hell is Toluu? And does it require a prescription?
After generally ignoring my blog for several days (as I am wont to do every now and again, especially when Twittering so much), I checked back in today only to find that I was receiving an unexpected influx of traffic from a site called Toluu.

Time to tell an embarrassing story
As if it weren’t already obvious enough, I’m about to tell a story that actually occurred this weekend and contains a fair bit of personal embarrassment. Just a warning. So, I found my wedding ring on Saturday. Yeah, let me tell a bit of back story first. About two years ago, I was out un-burying […]
Why is my “Followers” number inconsistent?
On my Twitter home page: On my Twitter profile page: Why are those “followers” numbers different? They have been for a couple of weeks. Does it have to do with people having their content locked?
Church of Gaming? Are you joking?
I thought this concept was much funnier when Scott Kurtz did it back in 2001. Way to keep up with the times, Buckley. Copy much?
Digg makes me smile sometimes
You really have to love the odd juxtapositions one gets with stories that show up on digg‘s front page. Such as this one.
