All right, I know that I'm old. I know this. I'm 98 in "dog years," which we all realize is an arbitrary number assigned by "the man" to keep my people down. How come nobody talks about our civil rights, huh? Got an answer for me, smart-guy? I didn't think so. You all are too busy laughing at goddamn cats that are too stupid to spell correctly. Since when is laughing at retarded cats an acceptable form of behavior? Idiots.   Anyway, I have a bone to pick with your kind, and not of the delicious milk variety (Purina FTW!). What the hell is up with your goddamn magic rooms? A door opens. I walk out of the hall into a room. The door closes. A few seconds later, the door opens ... into another hall! Black-magic chicanery, that's what I call it. So here's my problem: sometimes I can't remember which part of the magic room is supposed to open up. Oh, that's my fault? Listen, asshole, you're the ones that build this crap, it's not my fault that I don't know which side of the magic room is going to magically open into Magic Land. Did I mention I'm 98 in dog years? And my smart-ass "pal," Scott. What a douche, taking a picture of me from the open door of the magic room while I stare at a wall. How the hell was I supposed to know it was just a wall??? Huh?! Humans ... someday I will bite you all.

Here's a very cool article I stumbled across thanks to a link from science secret agent Tom Merritt. Business Insider showed off "crazy, science fiction-y uniform designs" in a recent post, and damn if these things don't look like the GFL come to life. Let's go ahead and admit it -- the GLF is slowly infiltrating the world of football, and things will never be the same.   Click here to see the scifi NFL concept uniforms Click through to see if your team gets a uniform rave-up. The picture above of the concept art for the Washington Redskins. Hmmm, six feathers, three on the right, three on the left ... does this design resemble a certain team from Ionath, or is it just me? Maybe it's just me ...

Check out the big brain on Brad! And "Brad," in this case, is the BackMyBook guys who created this site (but you already knew that). Some new features just rolled out, including a nice little tool to let you know which of your fellow Junkies are online. See the image in the upper right-hand corner, where you log in? A new link there tells you how many registered Junkies are online. It doesn't represent how many people are on the site in total, just the registered users. Cool, no? 

I feel compelled to respond to Evo Terra's blog post about Audible Creation Exchange, or ACX. Evo Terra runs podiobooks.com. He has been at the forefront of free, serialized audiobooks (also known as "podiobooks") since 2005. Podiobooks.com offers audiobooks that are almost exclusively narrated by the author.  Please read his post, but in a nutshell, here is what it says: Audible Creation Exchange (ACX) is part of Audible.com, a place to buy and sell downloadable audiobooks. ACX, on their own website, says they are actively seeking authors that want to record their own audiobooks. "Your book, your voice." ACX positions itself as a champion of the little guy with website text like this: "Too many authors have been left out of the quickly growing and culturally repositioned digital audio market. Until now.” Evo wanted to let ACX sell the nearly 600 audiobooks available on podiobooks.com, if the individual authors wanted to do the deal. ACX has told Evo, in no uncertain terms, that they will not sell an audiobook that is also available for free. Click through to read my full response to this and get my thoughts on Audible's myopic efforts to control content and take choice away from the customer, because you obviously aren't smart enough to make your own decisions.
