I’d like to add Webisode to the list. I’m not sure why watching a written, produced program on a medium that isn’t television is different enough to qualify for a name change. This is only to make up for the awkward state the 40-somethings that create words like this are...

It’s not hard to stay awake in the morning, but 3 PM really sucks.
With the 3 PM exception, my energy level is much more even throughout the day. I don’t have the...

You know, “www” is probably the most awkward three letter combination imaginable. It’s almost impossible to say out loud without stumbling.
Yeah, I can’t really do it. I rush into it and end up mumbling through the middle and end. And I think the trendy alternative, “dub dub dub”, is stupid.
So I just avoid ever saying it. I make all of my domains automatically redirect...
WatchI’ll argue that GAR The Unbearable was the greatest skit to emerge from VH1’s Acceptable.tv, a short-run sketch comedy show that let users vote on quick pilots like this to decide if the series would continue on the next episode.

Mathcore
Mathcore (also known as technical metalcore, technical hardcore and progressive metalcore) is a polyrhythmic and dissonant style of metalcore, recognized for a high level of technical musicianship. Mathcore has its roots in bands like Converge, Botch, and the Dillinger Escape Plan. The term mathcore is suggested by analogy with math rock. Both math rock and mathcore make use of polyrhythms and...

I made this theme for Megan a short while back and just haven’t gotten around to posting it. It’s created from scratch but still retains the elegancy of the default themes. I still enjoy using it, and I still appreciate the color purple.
