Rules

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

A lot of people have emailed me asking me for my take on the Trayvon Martin killing, and although I’ve kind of wanted to write about it at the same time I have not wanted to touch it with a ten-foot pole. Mostly this is because I am A) white and B) not American, so […]

Single-Sentence Review of The Hunger Games

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

Only serious flaw is that without Katniss’ internal monologue, the moments where Katniss is acting badly will come across as Jennifer Lawrence acting badly to those unfamiliar to the source material.

Best spam names

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

Yesterday on Twitter, Tim O’Neill wrote that the best Twitter bot name he had seen yet was “Charsky Troublefield.” This is, no question, a great name. However, I pointed out that in real life, about a decade ago when Columbia House was still a thing, my roommates and I received more than a few pieces […]

POSITIVITY WEDNESDAY

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

So I have maintained for quite some time now that Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four run is, increasingly, one of the truly definitive runs on the title. To my mind it’s surpassed Walt Simonson’s run and John Byrne’s1 and is quietly creeping up on Waid/Ringo, which while a great run certainly had a few rough patches […]

Tablet blegging

Posted by MGK Published in Beep Beep Boop Beep

No, I am not blegging for a tablet. I am looking for advice re: e-readers and tablets. I know I want to get one, but I’m trying to figure out what I want to get. I’ve considered e-readers because of the battery life and e-ink: I need something that will read PDFs but will give […]

The only thing I will say about the Kony stuff

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

Some time ago – I can’t find it now, it may be gone – some enterprising person designed a website that would auto-mail a letter for you via snailmail to your Member of Parliament. You would write the letter as if it were an email, choose your MP, and it would do the rest. It […]
