Run, yolker, run!

Kevin Smith has made a new short film of Dante and Randall (from Clerks) sitting in traffic discussing flying cars and other oddities. It airs on the tonight show last night, and for now can be found here in Quicktime format.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done any role playing. Six or eight years, I guess. I’ve looked at some of those on-line role playing games, where you wander around and interact with this gigantic virtual world, but they all cost a lot of time and money. There’s considerable investment involved for even small progress in the games. That’s why I was so excited to find Progress Quest.

I spent a bit more time getting caught up on the housekeeping around here. All of the various pages have been templated, including the archives and comment windows. There are monthly archives, going all the way back to the beginning (see the side bar), as well as individual archives. To reach those, click on the timestamp under each entry. This is the same as before, and can be used as a permanent link to the entry, suitable for emailing, etc. Those of you in the habit of leaving comments, take a look at the comment pop-up window. Let me know what you think. You use that window more than I do.
