Maybe TV and movies have ruined P.I.s for us, but if you wanted to get clients for your relatively high-tech industry, shouldn't you be a little more 2.0 than Beck Group Inc.?......

It's so nice out that we decided to find you three things to do indoors. You know, so you wouldn't get too used the warm weather. In case it decides to get down to 40 fu#%ing degrees again. We hate Weather's attitude. It acts as if it owes us nothing. As if it were some force of nature, free to do as it pleases without input or intervention from humanity. Oh wait, we warmed......

Dear YouTube: There's so much about you to love. From Tay Zonday to Samwell to He Man Sings to Liam Kyle Sullivan to Barats and Bereta (that's their newest video on the right) to Eepy Bird to the Numa Numa kid to Chad Vader to, um, stuff like this, you have given me hours upon hours of entertainment since your launch in February of 2005. I've spent countless nights staying up until four in the......

Today is another irresponsibly light day when it comes to Can't Miss This! fare. It's not that we don't love you, it's just that we are very popular and everyone wants to spend time with us and, some days, it gets out of control. Like today. So, here's the short-and-sweet skinny on what you should do tonight instead of staying home to defragment your hard drive. Nerd. THE LEGACY OF 1808: THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION......

Hey, hello, and howdy! We know you have a lot to say, and we want to hear it. (We mean that. We do.) And so we'd like to introduce you to our new-and-improved forum. It's not your everyday forum, though. Instead, it's going to exist as a sort of Phillyist microsite: a chance for you to create posts of your own, both about the material we're already covering and about the material that we......

Banner week for SFist as the site's new editor introduced himself -- hooray for Brock! While the NY Times weighed in on SF's mayoral race, only SFist had the (insert tongue firmly into cheek) hard-hitting latest on candidate/activist Josh Wolf. Coverage of a protest vs. gentrification spawned a fantastic debate amongst SFist's readers. Finally, from the sublime to the ridiculous: video of a man that confused a Board of Supes meeting with "open mic......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. What was originally going to be a bongos-controller racing game for the GameCube is now coming to Wii with the title DK Bongo Blast, and it'll be controlled using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Sadly, it doesn't have a US release date yet (they get it in Japan on June 28, those lucky bastards), but in the meantime,......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Hee hee. For a bit of NSFW video game humor, click here. Mike Myers says he wants to make another Austin Powers movie, and it will probably be from Doctor Evil's perspective, which sounds good to us; he was always our favorite character anyway. We know at least one person in the area who was disappointed with the......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Frank Darabont might adapt Stephen King's The Dark Tower into a movie series?! Now that's some good geek news. Here's a list we obviously couldn't not post: Fifteen Geek Movies to See Before You Die. We could quibble with the inclusion of Darkman (never understood why people like that movie - it's just really bad!), but the rest of the list is pretty......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. We know there's nothing you love more than a fun web quiz, so check out Web 2.0 or Star Wars character? in which you are asked to pick out the weird names of fictional inhabitants of a far away galaxy from amongst the equally weird names of the latest internet apps. We're ashamed proud to say we scored a 38 on this quiz,......
