Did you know that Polaroid has stopped making instant cameras? Stop crying - it will be okay. We all have a soft spot in our hearts for those blurry little pictures with their big white borders that took so long to develop. I guess "instant" is a relative term.

This outmoded form of communication needlessly burns calories and requires a certain amount of dexterity that not everyone possesses. Not to mention, sometimes it's hard for the other driver to "read between the lines" when it's dark out. Read more

In other Horrible news, I just stumbled upon the fact that Dr. Horrible is on Twitter. It's good to see the doctor moving beyond his blog into other social networking tools. For all of you aspiring semi-competent singing super-villains out there, you can follow his tweets. Read more

So you've signed up for Facebook. And Twitter. And Flickr. And Friendster. And Pownce. And Plurk. And... Well, apparently you have a very active social life inside the computer. Read more

No, not a "horrible" DVD. A "Horrible" DVD. In case you are the only one on the Internets who hasn't seen it, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is the oeuvre of Buffy-creator genius extraordinaire Joss Whedon. Whedon made the three-part series of online-only episodes during the writer's strike and talked celebrity buddies like Neil Patrick Harris into starring. Read more

Not to give away my age or anything, but I used to watch the ever-living sh@# out of Greatest American Hero as a kid. He was the kind of superhero any kid who spent his time reading comics and playing with Transformers could hope to be - the awkward, non-athletic kind with a bad haircut. Read more
