Boardgamers: I got a chance to play The White Castle on BGA last night (it's recently in beta). I liked it a lot - it has some interesting mechanisms and I think it ties together quite well. Recommended.

Years ago, it seemed that many crimes were committed with "malice aforethought". Yet these days, it seems that there are few, if any, committed with any aforethought - malicious or otherwise - and that many are committed as an afterthought. Thoughts?

Beatles Fans: This is a bit of a weird one, so bear with me. This is the music video for the song 2010 song "Zutto Suki Datta" by Japanese singer Kazuyoshi Saito. You may recognize, even from the thumbnail, the homage (the George guy is eerily similar). And I even like the song!

When I click the "Shorts" menu option in YouTube, I don't want to see some random bullshit video. I want a selection of everything Martin Short has ever appeared in. Thank you.
