4 Ridiculously Awesome Infographics Worth a Look
I love infographics. Part of the reason that I adore The Oatmeal’s comic style is that much of it is in infographic form. Infographics are a brilliant way of communicating ideas and I envy the graphic designers that have the creativity to make them. While the majority of infographics are created for fairly dry topics, there are [...]
4 Web-Comics that Will Devour Hours of Your Time
Growing up, there were very few cartoons in the newspaper that I made sure to catch on a regular basis. The only one that seems worth the time was The Far Side (created by Gary Larson). Its twisted sense of humor was appealing and seemed miles above the other scribblings in the paper. Fast [...]

Taco Beds, TV and Bad Sushi
I enjoyed the premiere of The Shield’s final season this week. It was a slow start considering the pacing of the previous episode, but it laid some brilliant groundwork for future story lines. I’m thinking Shane lives, Ronnie goes off the deep end, Vic and Acevada take down the Mexican cartel in a very bloody [...]
