Clever

Apparently all the Starbucks' in the known universe were closed for three hours yesterday. They say it was for employee training, but we all know it was to assert their supreme dominance over American life.

"We believe that this is a bold demonstration of our commitment to our core and a reaffirmation of our coffee leadership," said chief executive Howard Schultz in a statement.

Schultz was later quoted as saying "We also believe that this is a bold demonstration of how much you little fools depend on us. Comes the revolution, don't say we didn't warn you. Mwa ha. Mwa ha ha. MWA HA HA HA HAAAAA!"

A Dark Scottish Loch

Odd synchronicities going on recently.

Fidel Castro resigns. Ivan Castro skis.

I'm watching Blade Runner tonight. On the way home from work, I heard "More Human Than Human".

Been watching a lot of Doctor Who recently. Last night, I was referred to as "Doctor Who, here".

Maybe it's the eclipse.

Exterminate!

Ever get a line stuck in your head? As if it were a song? I've had a phrase from the attached clip running through my giant cranium all day.

The vid is from the worst episode of the otherwise excellent series Doctor Who. I recommend starting at 2:50 for context, but the line itself is at 3:17.

Without End

Chi-Mark has posted another salvo on the videogames-as-art debate, so get over there and read it.

Also, I just realized I never linked to his blog. Dick! Problem to be resolved shortly.
