The Internet, In a Nutshell…

Since all of the good .COMs have been used up, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (or ICANN for short) decided it was finally time to give the world some options. As one would naturally expect, .wtf was chief among the new top-level domain names to be made available to aspiring registrants and was added in 2014 alongside others such as .ink, .ninja, .kim, and .sexy. Supposedly, .ink is for tattooing, .ninja is for people with special expertise and skills, .kim is for people named Kim (huh?), and .sexy is for really good looking people. Of course, the name .wtf was taken from an improper Internet acronym that would never be repeated on this website.

Here is a glancing view of the World Wide Web in 2015:

It’s so nice to see the Internet taking bold steps forward. Personally, I can’t wait to register the domain CHADSPACE.POS as soon as it becomes available. I just hope that somebody doesn’t snap it up before I do!!

Who the @!#?@! is Schala…

…and how in the world did she end up with this song?!?

Schala’s Theme icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track from Chrono Trigger icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 by Yasunori Mitsuda icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 by SquareSoft icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

This is perhaps the best track in Chrono Trigger—and arguably one of the most wonderful compositions in a video game—yet it couldn’t have been used less effectively. The sequence in all of its glorious mundanity can be experienced by watching a variety of videos on YouTube icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12.

According to its placement within the game, you would expect that the song was about to end up on the cutting room floor. In actuality, assigning it to Schala, her temperamental little brother Janus, and her little brother’s rude kitty cat is more likely to be due to time constraints and poor planning than an inability to recognize potential.

Super-Sized Sinning

My third favorite restaurant, Carl’s Jr., just came out with its next delectable: El Diablo.

You may spend an eternity in hell for eating this hamburger, but it is so delicious that you won’t even care! Only $5.95* and for a limited time only.

To keep Burger King regulars from feeling left out, the company will be releasing its competing meal The Scourge Burger, due for mass consumption sometime this summer. McDonalds is also getting in on the action, but will apparently forgo any references to pestilence and demonology so as not to dissuade the greater population from eating at its restaurants. Word on the street is that the burger will be called the McUlcer, but this is yet to be confirmed.
