YSLAR: Oops…

So You Sound Like A Robot was inaccessible since sometime after midnight. My theory is that it was sucked into the core of the actual Internet. I imagine it looked something like this. Thankfully it was back online and running as of five this evening minus a suspicious line of code. Sorry if you missed [...]

MP3: Weep, “When I’m Wrong”

Since seeing them perform last year at Dragon*Con ’09 and again at this year’s convention I have grown very fond of a band called Weep. You may recognize the leader as Doc Hammer, co-creator of one of the best shows on television today: The Venture Bros. You may also recognize him as a former face [...]

VIDEO: The Extraordinary Contraptions, “I’m On A Blimp”

I happened upon this video while hanging out in the hotel room at this year’s Dragon*Con. The folks from Dragon*ConTV and The Extraordinary Contraptions got together to produce the clip.

MP3: David Bowie, “Space Oddity”

Since then I have undertaken the task of listening to Bowie’s entire discography in order from beginning to end. It will take a while, of course. Back in the humble beginnings of his music career he released a song [...]

YSLAR Updates: September ’10

Another month has passed and September is finally upon us. You know what that means… Dragon*Con! I will be leaving tomorrow for the weekend long convention and I won’t be back until the middle of next week. I will try to put together a good review like I did last year upon my return. Throughout [...]
