David: Taxes, Loopholes, Killers, and Nintendo

---

Letting temporary tax cuts expire is not "raising taxes" any more than a sale at the grocery store ending is "raising prices".

Also, where is this list of loopholes that we can close? Has it materialized yet? I would take this plan seriously if it existed anywhere outside of hypothesis.

Assassin's Creed 3 was a bit of a disappointment. I imagine Hitman Absolution will be as well, but I'm too far invested in both franchises not to remain a fan.

Anybody getting a Wii U at launch? The whole system looks like a pass for me. At least until it has a Zelda title. Which will probably be another disappointment.

David: Reddit? Whovians? Arts!

So...I've been spending a lot of time on Reddit for the past few months. Are any of the rest of you lot Redditors?

In other news, I've gotten way into Doctor Who lately. My iPhone ringtones and alerts are now all Doctor Who themed (previously these were from the Zelda universe).

Remember when I used to write a webcomic? The artist in that venture has grown by leaps and bounds since we started, and he gave me one hell of an assist last week. See, Reddit has these gift exchanges, and I signed up for the Doctor Who one. My match turned out to be a pin-up model who loves fan art.

So, mix this whole post together, and you get this. I was blown away, but that was nothing compared to the message that I got from the recipient. It feels good to make a stranger's day.

Oh, and should Noah find his way to this post...thanks again, dude. You fucking rocked it.

At first glance, I thought this guy was either Archimago or his less vent-prolific twin Demannu...

Or did you take an arrow to the knee?

David: Fans

The temperature sensor (thermometer?) on my work PC's motherboard is reporting -200 degrees Celsius. The logic sees this as an error, and runs the fans at full speed. Unfortunately, the machine still works.

So now I'm sitting next to the audiotory equivalent of a window ac unit waiting for my new computer to arrive. It's driving me slightly mad.
