Making An Impassioned (READ: Desperate) Plea For More Twitter Followers

I think it’s time for a new Twitter goal. Last year, I made a fuss about wanting to reach 1,000 followers (with at least one being a noteworthy celebrity), and happily I succeeded on both fronts (thank you, Blair Underwood).

ADVENTURES IN SHILLING: The Bannen Way Edition Redux

From Crackle: 1: The Criminal Lifestyle Not so long ago, I posted about my friend’s upcoming web series The Bannen Way.

More Complaining About Facebook

What’s more fun than complaining about Facebook? Nothing, really. So that’s why I’m doing it again! Granted, I got most of my issues off my chest last week with my Top Ten Bad Things About New Facebook, but there are a few annoyances that have crept up since then that still need to be addressed. …

SHILLING: Rage + Cooking = Fun Times!

My friend Heather started up a new blog recently called Eat Your Feelings, and quite honestly, it’s sort of tailor-made for this audience. Basically, it’s a cooking blog, but these aren’t just your typical recipes. They have some backstory to them, such as the “Chicken with Mushrooms for When the Bitch Deserved It,” which features …

Top Ten Bad Things About Facebook's Redesign

Last week, Facebook overhauled its site for the second time in only about nine months or so, and the reviews are in: it sucks. And it sucks in the most insidious ways. You see, at first glance, things don’t seem too drastically different. Navigation and usability is more or less the same (unlike the last …
