“I still owe money to the money I owe… I never thought about love when I thought about home… I’m on a blood buzz.”
Awkward dancing, well-dressed, and sitting at a bar…. Matt Berninger is my hero.

PSA of the Day: The new version of the now-legendary Super Mario Crossover has finally dropped. Aside from ushering in the era of Ryu Hayabusa, here’s what’s new in v1.1:
Mega Man now has Rush Coil, Samus Aran now has crouching ability, Simon Belmont gets better jumping ability, Link can now attack in more directions, Mario now gets a weird version where everything plays likes it’s underwater, the game itself has difficulty settings, [and] cheats have been added.
Check out the version history page for a complete list of changes.

An Innovative Web: SaveTabs Safari Extension
Well that took fricken’ forever.
I seem to be getting some kind of Safari Extension development bug. This extension fills a gaping hole in Safari’s functionality—it saves all open tabs in the current browser window and allows you to reopen them whenever you want, even across restarts of the browser.
This is a really inelegant…

Google Reader Snow Leopard ported by Vidal van Bergen

Ira Glass on Being Wrong
Just last night, I remembered this incident that honestly I have never, ever talked about. I’m not even sure I’m going to be able to talk about it much here. But I remember in high school—not even high school, in junior high school; I was really, really young—I tried to feel a girl up in front of her family. I thought I could get away with it.
