Idiocracy - not as good as Office Space

Merlin,

I wasted 45 minutes of my life renting Idiocracy. Ok, the first ten minutes are pretty funny, but then it's the same joke over and over.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
