Updates: It's what's for dinner

Good Tuesday ladies and gentleman (especially you ladies ;] ). There wasn't an update yesterday as I was busy fighting my brother in a bloody gang war to decide who would claim our deceased father's underground criminal empire (totally won, by the way), so I will giving you kids a double dose of the good stuff today. That's right, prepare to be double penetrated by the gleeful prose of James Harper.

1. NaNoWriMo

So, looks like the code monkeys over at nanowrimo.org finally got the back end working with some semblance of order. The main page finally has an accurate word count (I hope), and as of this writing folks have written a whopping 749,689,061 words. Just for a small bit of comparison, were each of those words US dollars, nanowrimo would be exceeding the GDP of American Samoa by over 400,000,000.














 Of course, American Samoa looks like way more fun than writing a novel


Of course, all is not perfect. While the widget to track my word count worked for a little while, it looks like its down again. Anyway, I encourage you to use the donate link over yander --->
to give nanowrimo your hard earned cash.


2. Agents of Cracked


As some of you may know, cracked.com is one of my favorite websites. Containing daily articles that are almost as hilarious as mine. Well, turns out they have just started up a new web series called Agents of Cracked, starring their columnists Michael Swaim and Daniel O'Brien. 



There is the trailer, which amuses me. The first two episodes are already live, and you can expect to see one each weekday here. Its good stuff.

Well folks, there you have it. Expect part two of today's update to go live around 1:30.
