That Whole Skywalker Thing
Okay, if you live under a rock and have never seen (or heard of) The Empire Strikes Back, this post could contain spoilers. (Also, Rosebud is the name of the guy’s sled.) What’s more, if you are a die-hard Star Wars fan and a George Lucas apologist, you may find the post below disturbing. For the rest of you, let’s talk about the Skywalker thing.

Battle for Vesta – Free Today
I’ve been wasting my spare time developing an iPhone game rather blogging. I’ve been reticent to post about it here since I don’t want to use KB to sell my game. However, today it is free, so I feel relatively unrestrained. So go grab Battle for Vesta while the price is right.
Free Comic Book Day is here
Comic shops all over the country are celebrating Free Comic Book Day, and many of the publishers are releasing free issues of their comics. (Click through the link to find a comic book in your area.) Store policy varies by shop. Many shops allow for one free comic per customer, but some shops are reportedly more generous.
This year there are 40 free comics being offered. Here’s are some recommendations of what’s worth picking up:
Pop Candy
MTV’s Splash Page
Bureau 42
Comics Worth Reading
Anyone have recommendations of their own?
Match the lyric
Match the first line of a song to its title and band.
1. “Lovin’ you isn’t the right thing to do”
2. “Looking down on empty streets, all she can see”
3. “Dig if you will a picture of you and I engaged in a kiss”
4. “We’ll be fighting in the streets with our children at our feet”
5. “It’s been a mystery and still they try to see”
6. “Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry”
7. “I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour”
8. “Shot like an arrow going through my heart”
9. “I’ve been roaming around, always looking down at all I see”
10. “I got up feeling so down”
11. “Hello, I’ve waited here for you”
12. “There’s a destination a little up the road”
If you want to guess without the band and song titles, go ahead, but they’re listed after the jump.

BSG 1.16.09 – “Sometimes a Great Notion”
No new news to report this time. Although, if you think you can handle the truth, go here.
Spoilers below the fold.
Something Amazingly Cool for Halloween
I wanted to make this a Link of the Day, but I can’t figure out how to do that.
Instead – feast your eyes and ears upon:
Two great tastes that go great together.
The Horror, The Horror!
Dr. Horrible has a PhD in horribleness and an evil plan to rule the world. He has vowed to join the evil league of evil and combine forces with “the thoroughbred of sin,” Bad Horse. Fortunately, he’s got a sing-a-long blog so we can have a front row seat to all of this awsomeness.
This whole thing presents several pertinent questions….but I can’t for the life of me think what they are. Your thoughts?
The Interesting Thing About the iPhone 3G
After following the coverage of the stevenote this morning I’m impressed, but not by what I thought I’d be impressed by.
Indiana Jones: Scared?
OK. So I’ve been reading all the reviews at various places like AICN. I’m scared. I really, really want the new Indiana Jones movie to be good. I don’t want it to be like the Star Wars prequels. It’s a fantastic summer for movies. (Iron Man, Batman, etc.) But Indiana Jones just holds a special place in my heart. Last Crusade was a bit of a disappointment to me. Not bad, but just lacking something… It just didn’t place it straight somehow. The way the first one did.
