When I woke up this morning, something seemed different. The sun was brighter, the birds were chirping louder than usual. I continued my morning routine and then the news hit me - Jack Thompson had been disbarred. Everyone likes violent games and Jack does nothing more than a disservice to those who enjoy the medium.  The Florida Supreme Court must like violent games, as well, otherwise why else would they not allow Thompson to represent anyone in court.  He’s also been ordered to reimburse the Florida Bar fees amounting to $43,675.35.

Jacky Boy isn’t going to stand for this. That’s why he’s filing an emergency motion against the disbarment, claiming that Florida’s Supreme Court was reacting upon his book Out of Harm’s Way, which somehow received attention from the court. Don’t think this will be the last of Jack Thompson. With this Fall’s lineup of games, he’ll be making a comeback in a big way.

Some bikes, like that sideways mindfuck one, are worth getting stolen while others, like the ATB, are not. After all, you spent your hard earned cash to get a bike that’s older than the company producing it, so why should you have to suffer when some dead beat walks off with it? Have no fear, Immobitag is here.

This plastic sleeve attaches to your bike’s frame leaving unsuspecting crooks second guessing. The only way to remove it is to cut the bike’s frame, destroying the bike. Each tag features a unique ID number that you register on the companies website, ensuring them that you are the rightful owner. For only $25, you’d be saving a lot of grief if you ride in an area that’s prone to bike theft. Just do yourself a favor if your bike gets stolen: don’t try to track it down with your radio frequency identification tag seeker gizmo, leave that to the professionals.
