Dan Bull gets it. It seems like I’m on the opposite side of the intellectual property battle from most law types and corporate types, but that’s fine by me. I’m just glad that I’ll only have to deal with this in America and not the totally effed British system.

I’m going to go ahead and make an assumption. It’s an unpleasant one, but I’m comfortable doing it because, well, I’m one of you. So here goes.
You need to get off the couch. Or get out of your computer chair. Whatever.
You need to go to the gym. You need to ingest something other than can [...]

So the other day I finally made my way over to Comicopia. I picked up a bunch of random stuff that I wanted, among which were the first issues of Dr. Horrible, Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love, Psylocke and Supergod.
I was disappointed by Cinderella, not disappointed but not altogether satisfied with Horrible, satisfied with Psylocke [...]

A few weeks ago, I was in Borders and decided to do something I do every so often and had been meaning to do for quite some time. I picked up the first volume of a few comics that I’d heard good things about – 100 Bullets, Scalped, and DMZ. I knew very little about [...]

So. A bunch of comic books to talk about (”Supergod” 1, some “Northlanders,” “Dr. Horrible” 1, “Irredeemable”), SAMCRO, “A Very Sunny Christmas.” That’s all I’m committing to for now, but in the next 24 hours we will probably be seeing Boondock Saints II. I’ll probably let Bill cover that one. Anyway, just sort of writing [...]

Comic books. I love them. I don’t love them the way people arbitrarily say they love things that, in fact, they just really, really like. That’s fine, that’s a kind of love. But I love comic books. I love comic books the way I love Christmas.
Why? Because of Archie’s “Sonic the Hedgehog.” I started reading [...]

Now that Brent has begun taking shots at my lack of posting effort, I suppose I should at least take the time to write my first few paragraphs. Then again, I’m currently at this place called ‘work’; it’s unclear whether or not Brent is familiar with the term and its implications (e.g. not [...]

I understand why people want to defend Belichick’s horrendous decision to go for it on the fourth down at the end of the Patriots’ game tonight against the Indianapolis Colts. Like here and here. Belichick has always seemed a bit hard to understand, a bit crazy, a bit out of control. But he only ever [...]

So Techland his here. The blog, perhaps my absolute favorite blog, formerly known as Nerd World has graced this series of tubes called the internet with its cyan goodness and HUGE Hollywood sign of a header. I was ambivalent when, just under a week ago, Lev Grossman informed us that things were changing. I wasn’t [...]

I’m Brent. I’m 1/2 of this blog. This isn’t just a nerd blog, but it’s also certainly not a non-nerd blog. We’re our own brand of nerds. We’ll talk about video games and comic books and technology and movies and TV and music and books and news and politics and sports and whatever else we [...]
