Arcade Fire Music Video: Black Mirror / rorriM kcalB

I’m more a fan of the interface than this song, but check out Arcade Fire’s “Black Mirror / rorriM kcalB.” It’s pretty amazing how much the song changes, depending on which tracks you mute/enable.

New Features: Comment Style and Live Preview Added

I spent the day putzing around with my Archive Templates, and tweaked the whole comment process a bit.

The Toothpick and the Goon Squad: Jury Duty Case Info Discovered

Looking over my stats this morning in Google Anaylitcs, I saw a few search strings that brought people to my site. Specifically, someone was searching using “wayne adams” rotkvich as their search terms. I didn’t recognize the names, and wasn’t sure why anyone would pull my site up searching under those keywords. Weird. And so,…
