October 30, 2007
Snark Hunting: 'Where did Alibaba, the brand name, come from?'
(My names for stuff tend to be a bit abstract, like
GameSetWatch
.)

(They should show more Jones history stuff on U.S. TV.)
October 29, 2007

Ironic Sans: 'Interview: Art Binninger, the Ed Wood of 1970s stop-motion animated Star Trek parodies'
(Tremendously geeky.)

(Interesting to see some pre-Calvin and Hobbes stuff.)
October 28, 2007
The Rut's cartoon on Spock's massage service
(Actually, all
these cartoons
are excellent - via
B3ta
.)
GSW: 'GameSetInvestigation: The Guitar Hero Patent Mystery'
(Man, this whole software/gameplay patent concept is pretty icky.)

October 15, 2007
Reality Blurred: American Idol tour fined $5,000 over child labor breaches...
(...involving Sanjaya. Haw.)
Regret The Error: 'How to get a husband in trouble'
(I'm not sure I would have asked for that correction, if I were him.)

October 14, 2007
DVD Savant reviews 'Fox Horror Classics'
(Long tail rumbling on and on.)
Gamasutra: '2008 Independent Games Festival Reveals Main Competition Entries'
(Record entry this year, and some amazing games - this is going to be a lot of fun.)

(Odd but interesting netlabel semi-hatred ramble.)
October 09, 2007
Archive.org: 'University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology Films'
("The filmmaker of this collection, Mr. Watson Kintner (1890-1979), was a Chemical Engineer with the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), where he was an early pioneer in the standardization of the vacuum tube.")
Kaiju Shakedown: 'The other 13 billion: Synapse'

October 08, 2007
Gelf Magazine: 'A Card Above All Others'
(Obsessive collecting is neat.)
DVD Savant reviews 'The Films of Kenneth Anger Vol. 2'

(Latest on my CC-licensed net.label, "slightly spooky, overlapping electronics" from Ann Arbor, MI.)
GameSetWatch - still the reason I don't blog here so much
(Sorry guys, dayjob plus three posts on a day on GSW leaves ffwd a little denuded. Will keep trying!)
