  • Wizards of the Coast, Equity Distributions. 

    This is the second part in a series of posts on the early history of Wizards of the Coast. It’s nice reading a story where people aren’t shafted out of their stocks.

  • Slow and unreliable, TTC is no longer the Better Way. 

    “The majority of city councillors are transit hypocrites and crass opportunists with little concern for the TTC other than as a means to curry favour with the huddled masses waiting down below for the next train to arrive.” Sounds about right.

Man of Steel

   2 July 2013, early afternoon

I watched the new Superman movie last night. It was god damn incredible. How has this film been getting mixed reviews? The “cold-open” of the film takes place on Krypton, and is thoroughly kick-ass. From there we move to the present day, where Superman is living like a drifter, helping people and trying to stay under the radar. His life on Earth is revealed over the course of the first half of the film as a series of flashbacks, mixed in with his discovery of his true origins. The second half of the film is Superman punching shit and it is so unbelievably fantastic. It’s all Kyptonians fighting Kryptonians, and the destruction one would expect from that. I loved this movie.

Google Reader: RIP

   2 July 2013, early morning

So google.com/reader now sends you to a page letting you know the site has shut down. I knew this was coming, but it still leaves me feeling wistful and let down. Google Reader was so god damn fantastic. I’m curious to see how the competitors that step up to take its place fare. Feedly seems quite nice, and looks to be the early favourite amongst my friends. I’m actually still not sure what i’ll switch to. Right now i’m using Fever once again. Goodbye Google Reader. You will be missed.
