Mighty Crappy
If the scroll ball on my Mighty Mouse at work didn’t give up the ghost this afternoon, I don’t think I might have found Dave Shea’s musings as funny as I do right now.
P.S. Anyone have a recommendation for a decent (inexpensive to moderately priced) mouse that I can requisition at work tomorrow morning?

Brick
I finally managed to see Brick with Sarah this weekend — and I’d go so far as to say that it’s probably my favorite movie of the past year. Then again, I’ve always had a soft spot for film noir inspired work.

Like A Virgin
I’m not sure how I feel about the concept of a Reservoir Dogs Video Game, but I’m pretty sure that this commercial kicks loads of ass.
P.S. This is totally NSFW — that is, unless your workplace is down with a advert containing a granny saying “dick” a lot.
