I kinda ripped into Kevin Smith the other day for some of his more-than-usually-over-the-top media whore antics in the past few months, but his disgust at movie critic Joel Siegel walking out of Clerks II when only 40 minutes had passed is well placed and well described. If I was to be paid to watch […]
So, my vox invite appeared out of the blue today, thought I'd give the system a quick whirl. It's immediately very different from Movable Type and Live Journal , attempting to merge the community features of flickr and myspace into a lighter version of TypePad , which was always just an advanced Movable Type hosting […]

Die Hard 2: Die Harder was on itv2 last night, so this was a nice bit of serendipity — Kevin Smith has published the comp artwork for the cover of the forthcoming An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder DVD: He's never looked cooler†. Absolute genius, can't wait. † ... well, as cool as […]
Two sides to the same story : Linspire are releasing a freely-available, freely-distributable, community-led, Debian-based Linux distribution ( sound familiar ?) to be called Freespire .
