Video comments
Not sure how I feel about the whole video comments thing; I may be on the side arguing for the skimming ease of print over the time-consuming nature of video, despite my affinity for things audio-visual. In any case, Disqus just enabled video commenting through Seesmic with a click of a button, so I figured I’d turn it on. What the heck. It’s not as if anyone ever comments here anyway...

“Buffy: ‘How’s Kennedy?’
Willow: ‘She died.’...”
– Buffy Season Eight graphic novel, with interpolations by me as representative of the fandom; I’m sure there was a Kennedy-loving contingent, but I never met any of them.
