And not to upstage Mr. Coulton…
But holy crap! … via Ellen Datlow. And Lego. And Jon and Al Kaplan. Watch (and put on headphones if you’re at work).

If I haven’t been posting too much…
… it’s only because I’ve spent the past month being the boy who can’t wait for Jonathan Coulton to come to Toronto. Well, last night he and squid-belly-barnacle opening band Paul and Storm (you hadda be there) came. First of two nights at the Lula Lounge, not quite a year after they came to the …
If the bailout has you upset…
… here’s a slightly more benign stimulus package: With thanks to Dr. Watts for the heads-up.
Okay, the Yard didn’t endorse in the Canadian elections…
And look where that got us. Well, fool us once… We won’t make the same mistake in the oh-so-close American election. So, American yard-apes here goes. Don’t listen to these Russians. They’re obviously smitten. Listen to Obama Girl. She’s thinking straight. Alternatively, you can take a risk and go the classical route. Caligula for President: …

Jonathan Coulton and Our Night Out
So yeah – Jonathan Coulton, Superstar of the American Internet, came up to see the Canadian Internet last night. And the Canadian Internet saw him back. At least we did: we being me, my partner Karen Fernandez, and Peter Watts and Laurie Channer. Karen, who knows her way around a Canon Powershot like no other, …

Why Halloween is the happiest day of the year
Well, one of the reasons. This video is only a little less terrifying than yesterday’s cat video, if only because there’s no cat in it. Far as I can tell, it’s an amateur animation based on the Silent Hill video game series. But that doesn’t do it justice. It’s a nasty piece of business, in …
