Thanks! I was waiting for someone to get it! I hate it when my jokes go unappreciated. :)

Torley commented on Americans Brag, PS3 No Letdown, Kotaku is Wrong, at 12:43 PM on May 12
All of this followup activity, including the 450+ comments here, have just resulted in more publicity for MGS4 (not a bad thing!).
That is, in a word, remarkable.

Torley commented on Bruce Lee on "Hacking the Inessential", at 11:53 AM on May 12
@labete: He was polarizing in part because of jealousy from peers who didn't/couldn't attain the charismatic popularity Bruce had, and also, because of the snob-thinthink of keeping many martial arts "secrets" hidden from the world at large.

Heh, I prefer the cover that looks like a hamsa, similar to the Second Life logo:

This makes me wish Gmail had a time band like EverNote, which is handy for looking at sorted events chronologically.

The quack klaxons are in full blare - they're really trying to get people addicted to these helmets before selling them as a new fashion trend.

"It's a prequel and a sequel at the same time!"
Oh, the horrible things time travel and flashbacks can do to you.

Torley commented on TimeTube Takes You Back in Video Time, at 2:23 PM on May 10
I tried a few quick searches and it's fun - I heard of this from Seth Godin's blog @ [sethgodin.typepad.com]
I wonder what criteria they use to show the most popular videos which get the bigger bubbles on top?

Torley commented on Take the Triage Approach to Information Overload, at 9:45 AM on May 10
I regularly have to keep aware that prioritizing can end up sucking a lot of overhead time and making the whole process less efficient.
To access my Gmail inbox, I use a special search link that uses this criteria:
* is:inbox
* is:unread
this lets me easily scan through what I haven't already seen, and star stuff that I want to get back to later.

While it's difficult to search, you can also peruse the CC-licensed stuff at ye olde Internet Archive!

Torley commented on Top 10 Tools to Get Blogging Done, at 2:19 PM on May 7
I also need to give a big nod to Windows Live Writer for many reasons: one of the best is because it can slurp the CSS styling from your blog, allowing you to compose your post almost as if you'd actually see it.
In the future, I hope it has better support for templates - I agree that'd be useful, and I don't know how to setup a whole-post template yet, altho this Dynamic Template tool is useful for snippets of text, pictures, and even more advanced content:

And if you looked at the title of that URL, I gotta say that Joe Cheng, one of the WLW devs, is AWESOME.
