Apologies to Internet Explorer users… »

UPDATE: the problem was actually due to a SiteMeter upgrade, and not my fault! Even better, it’s been resolved. I guess I just always take the guilt on myself. Boo hoo.

So long, Defamer, and thanks for all the dish. »

Defamer’s long-time editor Mark Lisanti is calling it quits, and I mention it because Defamer is one of the first blogs that I ever read with consistency and excitement. His style was always brisk, sarcastic, hilarious and insightful - everything I wanted to be when I decided, a couple years into reading his daily output, [...]
