From the “I can’t make this shit up” files comes a boneheaded revelation about Adobe’s Digital Editions 4, their epub app. Nate Hoffelder over on The Digital Reader blogged about verifying this privacy breach.

Sharknado 2 TONIGHT!
Yes, it’s time for Sharknado 2: The Second One TONIGHT on SyFy. (I still say the subtitle should have been “The Great White Way” in honor of Broadway. LOL) So, for your viewing pleasure, I present a cat in a shark outfit riding a Roomba. You’re welcome.
Well, some people just refuse to hear the truth.
A follow-up from my blog post yesterday where I took on yet another radical feminist who insists that all BDSM is abuse, regardless of consent or not. Apparently, the blogger doesn’t like hearing the truth, that the examples they used in their blog were completely unrealistic and unrepresentative of the majority of people who practice … Read More
Yet another one where I take on radical feminists’ views about BDSM.
Oh, look. Someone on the Interwebz is having a butthurt cow about consensual BDSM practices. It’s an older article, but one I was only pointed toward just today. *sigh* http://liberationcollective.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/bdsm-is-violence-against-women Here’s my response to them, because I seriously doubt they’ll let my comment stand, because, idunno, LOGIC HURTZ. *Grrrr.*
Fargo, thank god it’s over.
Because I’m on deadline, I’ll sum up my expression after suffering through the final episode of Fargo in a spoiler-free series of memes quickly copied from the Interwebz by Google-Fu-ing the fark out of the word “seriously.”
Warning: Driver’s License Ranty-Pants Blant
It is, no shit, easier to obtain a concealed carry permit in Florida than to renew your driver’s license, if you don’t have a passport and haven’t renewed your license since 2010. Guess what I had to do today? Guess what I thought would be a simple errand lasting less than an hour, that turned … Read More
I have no… I… WTF?
I just… I have no… I can’t… This is likely the funniest damn thing you’ll see all day. Just watch the damn thing. (Choking/spew warning, work-safe but a couple of swear words LOL.) Happy Friday! And, hey, I have a book on pre-order! 🙂
Fargo Episode 1 – my blant.
*Spoiler Alert* You have been warned thusly, and so begins my blant (blog+rant). It’s taken me a week to process how I feel about episode one of Fargo (on FX, episode two is on tonight). Yes, I realize it’s not supposed to be a reboot of the movie. However.

Jimmy Kimmel figured out what the guy was saying.This would be funny if it wasn’t so outrageous and sad. http://happyplace.someecards.com/28172/heres-what-that-fake-sign-language-interpreter-was-actually-saying
Sooo…what DOES the fox say?
This… I just… I have no words. Presenting from the WTF category…
"Real" men don’t cause pain? Really? Thus, I rant.
A Facebook wannabe “dom” poser’s comments that “real” men don’t cause pain inspired this rant. (Because I didn’t want my head to explode and I refuse to comment on the douchetard’s page.) Thus, I rant thusly: http://bdsmauthorsplayroom.blogspot.com/2013/04/real-men-dont-cause-pain-think-again.html
Open Letter to NY Publishers
(The article prompting this letter can be found here.) Okay, Simon and Schuster and Hachette, seriously, WTF? You are going to delay the release of ebooks for months after hardcover…why? “…Preserve your industry?” Seriously? Okay, let me explain some basic economics that apparently someone hasn’t taken the time to explain to you. Cheaper books (ebooks) … Read More
