Despite our best intentions, posts continue to trickle in at a rate of two per week. Employment fluctuation (and perhaps even stagnation) is still a factor, as is the fear of becoming another irrelevant echo in the Internet chamber. Add in professional prohibitions ("All employees must agree to refrain from commenting on shower fixtures in print, podcast, and electronic media forms") and the fear of being yet another one of those sites that failed expectations and trails off with an ellipses of unlikely hope...
...yeah, things are looking bleak. But I still blame the green background.
Chances are Canned Food And Shotguns at Blogger will go out in a blaze of glory during PAX 2007 (assuming my wife lets me borrow her laptop and we can post from there). But in the proceeding weeks, we might as well make the most of it.
As for myself, I promise you this. If nothing else, this blog will not be put to rest until I deliver my long-promised report on the state of pornography.

Is This Thing Still On?
Let's link to some bands. Press any button to start. That's it. Tilt your keyboard to engage the power of rock. All right. Now you've got it.
Unless Wikipedia and iTunes are lying to me, this guy has remade an old European dance hit into a song about playing Warcraft III. You can check out a remix of DotA (Defense of the Ancients) here for all your gaming synthpop needs. Personally, I prefer the radio edit on iTunes.
Beefy, one of three possibly sane people I met last year at the post-PAX nerdcore night, continues to impress. MC Front has the flow, and Optimus Rhyme certainly has the band, but Beefy is one of the few other nerdcore rappers I've listened to who exhibits talent beyond the ability to rhyme things with "l33t". Not only can you take pride in understanding "Table Top", you can dance to it.
Finally, allow me to reintroduce Lee Presson, accompanied by his Nails. As I mentioned months ago, he leads some sort of newfangled swing band hopped up on evil. I saw him perform as more than a mere keyboardist for Dead Man's Party last night, and I'd be shocked by how awesome I found it, if I didn't already know how much I love things that are awesome.
Cell phone videos on YouTube don't do the live show justice, so I offer the following example instead. It's like Dr. Forrester left Deep 13 to start a band.
