A Funkaoshi Production

For those of you looking for a good old-school D&D ‘clone’ I highly recommend Lamentations of the Flame Princess. This Indiegogo project seems like the best way to get the rules. I recently purchased their rules boxset, otherwise i’d be all over this.

Someone trolled MetaFilter, faking a suicide. That seems like a good way to get some bad karma.

You might want to read the article and avoid looking at photographs, because they are horrible.

I have tried and failed to listen to The Talk Show a few times now. It’s mostly John Gruber and Dan Benjamin rambling about random-ass stuff. (That actually describes most of what 5by5 puts out, I suppose.) Out of the blue Gruber has decided to leave the show and start one on another podcast network. What makes this particularly strange is that his new show is also called The Talk Show, and basically has the exact same branding as the old one. The only difference is the new show lacks Dan Benjamin. I can’t imagine anyway it could possibly be better than the old show. (Who is going to stop Gruber from rambling now?) Some juicy podcast drama.

I’m not sure if I missed their redesign, or if it launched today, but the new 4ormat home page is dope. (You should sign up.)

I think he needs to increase the line height. The text is big, but it looks and feels crowded.

This song is dope.

The G20 really was the worse. In related news, Toronto’s most boring “terrorist” Byron Sonne was found not guilty of all the ridiculous charges against him. He was held without bail for 11 months and not allowed access to a cell phone or the Internet for an additional year after that. I hope he sues the fuck out of the government.

Flickr has recently started pushing out new features, but it definitely feels like it’s too little too late.

At the Full Frontal T.O. blog, we’re curating an online gallery of some of the pages and photographs from Patrick Cummins’s and Shawn Micallef’s book Full Frontal T.O.: Exploring Toronto’s Architectural Vernacular, in the hopes visitors will comment on the photos with their own stories and anecdotes about the structures featured.

We’re coming to get you. Mindy Kaling has a new show coming to Fox that looks to be like Scrubs crossed with Ally McBeal or something. As an aside, and a slight spoiler, I do like that they paired up Rashida Jones (hawt) and Aziz Ansari (skinny-ass brown dude) on Parks and Rec. I feel like my stock in going up.
