Finally, Bruce Willis Says It

Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies, News on 16. May, 2007 | Comments

Bruce Willis Tells Hollywood to Shut Up.
That’s right, you heard me correctly. I’m so tired of Hollywood telling people how they should live their lives, what’s right and wrong, and how much better they are than us. I mean, just read my brother’s post about Sheryl Crow’s stupidity.
Bruce, keep rocking my socks off.
 

Dr. George Bebawi Speaks

Posted by The Gimcracker in Theory & Philosophy on 16. May, 2007 | Comments

Dr. George Bebawi came to my church last night and lectured on the differences between Christianity and Islam. I was pretty impressed with his ability to “bash” Islam without really bashing Islam. This skill comes from his tenure at Cambridge University, where he taught Christian and Islam students in a very politically correct environment.
I [...]

It’s Official, Yot Becomes Main Toon

I remember back when my paladin was edging closer and closer to the coveted level 60 by questing in the highest level places like the Plaguelands and Silithist. Now he’s sitting in Shattrath City drinking ale with a bunch of drunken Scryers. I got him all the way to 70 and bought him a nice [...]

In other words, thanks for the good word Arthur. Since the shout-out, my Technorati rating has skyrocketed to 2,042,882, and my authority has been boosted to 2! YES!
If you don’t already, you should read Life In The Shadows. The dude has an English degree. Enough said. Plus he’s funny and humble and posts on a [...]

The return of THIEF IN THE NIGHT

Posted by The Gimcracker in Music, Stuff On The Internet on 10. May, 2007 | Comments

’s website. LOL n00bs, L2P.

I was going through some old projects and came across this mock-up of a new Thief in the Night website I was working on, when, alas, they broke up. Obviously the domain is no longer there, but I have hosted it on my site for archival purposes.
There’s not much there, but [...]

Top Fiver #2: Most Re-watchable Movies

Posted by The Gimcracker in Movies, Top Fivers on 08. May, 2007 | Comments

Gyaaaaarrrr! Time for another edition of Ye Old Top Fiver, ya land lubbers!
I saw Spidey 3 on Saturday at a brand new IMAX theater with 12 thousand jigawatts of Dolby sound (I’ve never figured out what other kind of sound there is besides Dolby) which got me all worked up in a fit about [...]

Blizzard Pays You to Smoke Play Their Crack Game

Posted by The Gimcracker in Gaming, News on 04. May, 2007 | Comments

Yes, those are World of Warcraft credit cards. Yes, puppies will start dying soon.
There was a time when I thought the maker of World of Warcraft had a soul. But I recently found out yet again that a corporation cannot have a soul any more than a Mac user can have respect for a PC [...]

I think we’ll be there by 2025, thanks to Perceptive Pixel. I just randomly picked that year by the way.

Finally found some decent wallpapers

Posted by The Gimcracker in Stuff On The Internet on 03. May, 2007 | Comments

Gyah! Three website posts in a row? I guess I’ve been stumbling around a little too much this week.
I’ve had the same desktop wallpaper for over a month. That is a record. I was staring at my awesome infrared x-ray night vision shot of the sun in all it’s solar flare and sun spot glory [...]

Notoriously bland Google gets some color

Posted by The Gimcracker in Stuff On The Internet on 02. May, 2007 | Comments

The Google I’ve always known and loved is ugly. Well, actually it’s beautiful if you love simplicity, so ugly might be the wrong word. Let’s put it this way: it’s bland. But that’s OK because it works for Google and it gives a sense of stability and official..ity…ness.
Needless to say I was surprised to [...]

    You made it to the third set of widgets on my widget slider sidebar mechanism. There are only two reasons you could end up here: 1) because you are so into TGM that you read every word on every page, or 2) because you are trying to find something incriminating so you can hurt my reputation because I have offended you in some way (you're probably a Twitter fan boy or a Multigrain Cheerios lover). If you are here because of #2 and you want a bit of juicy gossip then here you go: I used to steal candy bars from the gift shop I worked at in the airport when I was 17 because they forged my time card to have less hours than I really worked. There's a slight chance that if you really put your mind to it and told the right people you could somehow hurt my reputation. At least I'll know that if I get a notice of a lawsuit in the mail regarding this matter that there was at least one person out there reading my blog :)
