I wish I had gone to PAX
It has even crossed my mind.... because this would have been, well, awesome.

Pro-Obama Dungeons and Dragon Crowd
I haven't played D&D in quite a while -- but it would be tempting to play as Barack Obama.

The Venture Wiki
The Venture Brothers can sometimes get a little confusing, with its awesome mix of nostalgic parody and huge cast of characters. But, since this is the era of the internet, the The Venture Bros. Wiki will come to the rescue.

Just when you think something has completely played itself out.... you get something like this.

The Clone Wars
I went to see a sneak preview of Star Wars: The Clone Wars today.
I'll admit that I'm apart of a generation that loved the original Star Wars trilogy and could only be disappointed by the Episodes 1-3.
But this, while not recapturing the feel of the original Star Wars films for me, was a whole lot of fun. I enjoyed it and wasn't disappointed by it -- which is really the first time a Star Wars experience has done that for me since the first Phantom Menace trailer. And to be fair, it would be very, very hard to truly recapture that feel, and that's not really a fair standard.
This was recognizably something in the Star Wars universe, but something good for today as well. It's certainly something with a kids audience in mind -- but it's solid fun and definitely worth seeing if you were a Star Wars fan -- even if you have found yourself less of one after the prequels.

Numbers Junkie
I'm enjoying digging around FiveThirtyEight.com and seeing all of the statistics from each state and all of the poll results...

The Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away
I'm excited to read -- or listen to The Things that Make Me Weak and Strange Get Engineered Away by Cory Doctorow -- one of my favorite Jonathan Coulton songs is The Future Soon, and Cory Doctorow is one of my favorite writers.
Really, all you'd have to do is mix Randall Munroe and Wil Wheaton into the project and the internet would implode.
