Bungee Buddies (YouTube) Steve and Josh prove that the Wii is the new Double Dare, complete with the Leave-Me-Hanging high five! More True Tales of Game Night here, courtesy Tony.
The perils of coincidence (John August via Daring Fireball) Great discussion about everything that was shitty about Spider-Man 3. Including lots of stuff that even I didn't have time to mention.
Getting it wrong (News From Me) Mark Evanier pointed out some errors in a Newsday article about comic strips a week ago. He contacted the author and, eventually, Newsday published a paragraph of corrections. Which, was also wrong. Mark says this:
The guy who wrote that Newsday essay was not a moist-behind-the-ears intern. He is, amazingly, an editor and staff writer at the paper who is on the verge of retirement after forty years there... but he didn't take the ten seconds to Google "Blondie" and find out who currently does the strip. Is the person writing about Iraq for that paper adhering to the same standard?
An excellent point. Journalists are just as lazy and stupid as the rest of us; they just get paid for pretending they're not.
