Alan Moore

Our friend and yours, Rev. Josef Jetsream, asked me this on Twitter earlier today: "Say, what's Alan Moore's spoken word stuff like? Like poetry, or the Rollins sort stand-up storytelling? And how might I find it?"

Glad to be of service. The two albums I have of his are The Highbury Working and Snakes and Ladders. They both have music by Tim Perkins and they're both fantastic. To answer the second question, it's just spoken word blank verse set to fantastic music.

PB&J Gamer Grub - Review

Gamer Grub: PB&J

I was uncertain what to think about something called "Gamer Grub" that purported to be a "Performance Snack." Especially since from what I can tell (the fine print for the ingredients is mighty fine, if you know what I mean) there's no caffeine in this packet. I know some people will be shocked, but we're about stimulants of all kinds. It doesn't have to have caffeine in it, it's just that a lot of products do. Instead it promises "vitamins + neurotransmitters." And if you're anything like me, then you're thinking: well, what the hell does that mean to me, the consumer?

That's a very good question. The back of the package promises that the "tasty blend of Peanut Butter Chips, Peanuts, Strawberries, Strawberry Jelly Chips and Sweet Bread" is "packed with select vitamins and nutrients supporting cognitive performance" and is "scientifically formulated to power your core gaming systems for maximum performance."

Yeah, I still don't know what that really means. I do know it sounds impressive. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have the "this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease" footnote. The entire package, if you were to eat it all at once (which is, let's face it, what most people in front of a keyboard are going to do with this) gives you 75% of your RDA for Vitamins A, C, E and Niacin with 30% of your magnesium. Of course it's also 60% of your fat intake for the day.

Threadless Now Wants to Clothe Your iPhone

Threadless iPhone case

So, many among you are iPhone converts. And many more of you are Threadless fiends (like we are). Well, just imagine that Griffin Technology and Threadless each rounded a corner and smacked into each other.

"Hey, you got your Threadless designs on my iPhone cases!" "Hey, you got your iPhone case covered in my Threadless design!" Two great tastes that taste great together.

Yes, Threadless, smartly reusing existing art, is making these iPhone cases available on their site as well as at Apple retail stores. There's two cases available currently. And there's more in the pipeline, I'm sure.

And P.S., even if you don't have an iPhone and need a case for it, you need to be aware that one of my favorite zombie tees ever has gotten printed. It's not on full-on black, otherwise I would have bought two already.

Greg Giese as an infant in Gone With the Wind

Greg Giese played two roles in Gone With the Wind, the newborn infant versions of both Bonnie Blue and Beau Wilkes. He was all of eleven days old. I got to spend a few minutes with him in Marietta during the World's Largest Virginia Reel stunt for the 70th anniversary of Gone With the Wind. A heckuva nice guy and fun to chat with.

Gone With the Wind dress, Carol Burnett style

Ain't nothin' like the Reel thing. Thus, I've posted an album of photos taken at the World's Largest Virginia Reel event for the 70th anniversary of Gone With the Wind in Marietta, Georgia. If you check out our photo album on Facebook (and become a fan while you're there, why don't you?) you will see glorious anachronisms, a Disney character cameo, and more shots of this fantastic Carol Burnett-inspired costume.
