The Photo Battle Blog now has a sidebar item. Of course, you can also subscribe to the feed to be notified daily of new battles. In Cyndicate I recommend turning the "display linked content" option on, as the daily battles are generated via plugin and the feed is, thus, rather bare. It still serves as […]

Over at the Photo Battle Blog (please visit and subscribe!), I've set every post to show up at midnight: 00:00:00 (with the corresponding 05:00:00 GMT).

Ha! I don't believe the adage "cheaters never win" applies here, because the Patriots won 18 times this year, but given that they'd make the playoffs and even that they'd win 18 times, I couldn't have scripted it better than a loss in the Super Bowl. The last three QBs to win the Super Bowl […]

You can click the images to view them at their full size (800 x whatever) and then click a button below to vote for the one you prefer. Please, […]
