Computer Virus from Hallmark Address

Permalink (0)

Readers should be wary of opening any email from postcards@hallmark.com.  Apparently this is a fake address containing a zip file and a virus.  A friend of mine just warned me of this, and I thought I’d pass the warning along.  Always be careful about opening emails from people or email addresses you don’t know or recognize.

Pharyngula: Dr Horrible

Permalink (0)

“But, happenstance has been a major theme for Whedon for awhile now, and he goes the distance to make his characters suffer. I think people unsatisfied with the end might be missing its subtlety; it wasn't Horrible's attempt to kill Hammer that caused Penny's death, it was his hesitation to kill. That's got to be one monumentally bitter pill to swallow.”

Pharyngula: Dr Horrible

“You are all aware of Joss Whedon's new mini-epic, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, I'm sure. If not, get over there now…it's only freely available until Sunday night.


All I can say is that it is about time someone made a sympathetic, musical tribute to supervillains. Now I'm wondering, though…the ending is not satisfactory. I want more. Whedon cannot simply stop here with a single 3 part event. I want a weekly series on the internet!

“I guess that means we should actually pay for these episodes, as encouragement.”

Butcher the Phrase

Ok, people, the phrase is “worse comes to worst,” not “worst comes to worst.” It’s a progression of bad to even more bad.  If you start at ‘worst,’ it can’t really get any more bad from there.  It’s already the worst it can possibly be.  Let’s get it right, ok?
