The G+ changes are very pretty looking but there's the usual "Where the hell is everything?" in effect.

More specifically, where's my chat gone? Or do we only have Hangouts now? If so, I am not pleased with this.

Also, the only way to add an image to a post, even if it's already in an album shared publicly, is to create a new album?

Gaaawwww!

A quick update on what I've been doing for the Firefly RPG, plus a big pre-order announcement for the Gen Con 2013 Preview Gaming in the 'Verse. This bundles new Firefly RPG material into one volume as kind of a preview of things to come from the Firefly RPG line over the following year. It's available for pickup at Gen Con, shipping after Gen Con or a digital download available the first day of Gen Con. Click for deets!

I'd forgotten I had this.

Now, I need to remember why I kept it in the first place. There was a point. Really.

To be fair, it wasn't much of a stretch to recut this as a horror.

Gene Wilder is really sinister in this. As Roald Dahl no doubt intended.

A '10 Mega Tongs Webcam'.

This is a thing that I never thought I'd hear of. I guess there're webcasts of everything these days. A webcam combined with 10 million tongs is surely designed for some sort of pickle epidemic.

Because lobsters need tongs too.

Really expensive tongs.

[edit] Lobsters using tongs has to be the most redundant thing ever.

Just a reminder: The claim that "vaccines cause autism" isn't just a myth - it was  an outright fraud committed by a "doctor" who was being paid by a lawyer to create "evidence" he could use to sue drug companies. Not only has the "evidence" been debunked over and over again, not only was the doctor stripped of his license, but children are dying because of their parents refusal to get them vaccinated.

Please share this around.

Iron Man 3

First things first. Ben Kingsley rocks this movie. I really wanted more Ben Kingsley, but I guess I'm going to have to settle for watching Sexy Beast again.

Pretty much, this is more of the same from the first two movies, although Tony Stark does appear a little bit more human and fallible than previously. Gwyneth Paltrow and RDJ do not disappoint and there's plenty of eye candy CGI.

Also, to those people who left before the credits finished: You missed a bit.

"The main goal of troubleshooting a zombie process is determining why the parent died without reaping its children."

So, just watched Oblivion. It was... ok.

I think the most disappointing thing was that I'd carefully avoided teasers and spoilers, but half an hour in, the rest of the plot was kind of obvious.

That, and the lack of emotional investment throughout leaves me rating this one a 'Meh'.

YMMV.

Hi fellow Bitcoiners!

Today We launched a short documentary about Bitcoins in Argentina. In a country with 25-30% inflation and monetary restrictions it's not difficult for the Argentines to recognize the merits of Bitcoins!

Check out the film if you want to see how Bitcoins is used in everyday life!

Hangout with Jim Butcher

I've been dying to announce this for weeks.

On Thursday, April 25th, at 9 PM Eastern, we'll be having a hangout with Jim Butcher. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files series. The hangout will last for about a half hour.

I need some questions to ask him. Can you folks help me out?

These should be questions about his work-- not about writing. Please leave your question as a comment on this post.

Thanks!
