From The Win Files will be a list of nifty things or links that I just find completely and utterly awesome. Welcome to the first installment. I Am Comic Sans, a short imagined monologue from an oft-maligned font found on every personal computer from here to Timbuktu. If you have delicate sensibilities regarding foul language, …

For whatever reason, Comcast sent me a $150 Visa rebate card. I vaguely recall why having something to do with an account creation deposit and accepting the terms of service for my contract. Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise! Last week, our Xbox up and red ring of deathed. First it was doing …
