The It Gets Better project is still kicking along.

I think one of the best things about this campaign (to raise awareness of gay teen suicide, and reach out to gay teens) is the variety of responses it has provoked. Some are touching, some are funny, some — such as this one — are insanely creative and talented. Stick around for the message at [...]

Woohoo! Twitter widgets!

Okay, so I’ve just added in a little sidebar that displays my recent Tweets and Twitter convos. It seems like everything is working out smoothly, but if anybody notices a bug or is otherwise having unexpected troubles with the site, please let me know.

A Christmas present for Bellekitten, Podblack and Catherine…

Merry Christmas, all!

Citizen Radio are here to help you…blog.

Personally I prefer a 16th century morning star to a knife, because you’ve just gotta go with what you love.

Pharyngula (and ScienceBloggers) no longer on strike!

Whew. Normality (in some sense) is restored.

Damn this song is brilliant.

Seriously — every time I hear this song, it brings me right back to the feeling I had while I was playing Portal. And don’t pretend like you don’t know what feeling I’m talking about. On the off chance you’re one of the (very) few who still haven’t played Portal yet, I feel compelled to warn [...]

Seed Media Group could probably use this advice.
