WatchHere it is - my world record run at “Most Trivial Pursuit 90’s Edition ‘Wired’ Questions Answered Out a Shuffled Deck in 60 Seconds.”
We did several attempts before we got one I was happy with, but I decided to put them all online anyway. If you just want to see the record setting 15-question run you can go the record’s home on the Universal Record Database...

Enough people (specifically Dave Cho) enjoyed my first movie round-up post so much I decided to periodically do more.
I usually don’t watch that many movies, but I’ll post one of these when I feel like I have enough interesting thoughts. A midnight screening of Jurassic Park just put me over the top.

I look down on online petitions. They’re not even the least you could do - that implies you’re doing something. Most don’t even tell you who they’re going to send the petition to, likely because they haven’t thought that far ahead. On the off chance they have, anyone with any influence will immediately recognize how easy it is to fake 100,000 e-signatures. Signing an...

I had a little extra time and no new TV the past few weeks, so I’ve been catching up on movies. Here (I think) is everything I’ve seen. There’s some doozies. Ghost Rider - I don’t get the devil. If he’s just going to trick Johnny Blaze into signing away his soul, why put up the whole pretense of a contract? Nicholas Cage is fun (I’d say he’s doing about...
