Assorted bullshit about video games, language, music, and some other unabashedly personal shit. And maybe some stuff that's kind of funny? I don't know. I just don't fucking know, alright? Would you give me a fucking break? Jesus, Mom.

I also write Britishisms, a blog about moving to the US, and Tuneage, a music blog I co-founded. I curate Give Me Something to Read. I started Word Journal, and I occasionally contribute to The Small Picture.

This excellent documentary aired on BBC Four on Monday, and I missed it, but it’s on the BBC’s iPlayer (unless you’re British, or know how to use a proxy, you won’t be able to watch it).
In this revealing documentary, Stephen Fry investigates the story of one of the most important machines ever invented - the Gutenberg Press.
Stephen Fry is one of my favourite people in the world, and I don’t think this would have been half as interesting without him presenting it.
Fry investigates the story behind Johann Gutenberg, travelling across Europe, and then builds a copy of the Gutenberg Press. Excellent and fascinating viewing.
