I’ve been reading the Pro Blog Design blog for a long time now, as they have very informative and interesting posts about how to make blogs look and function better. When the author of the blog, Michael Martin, announced a few months ago that he was going to start offering premium WordPress templates, I was [...]
Hey DB, am I at the right place?
Yes, this is still the No Fact Zone that you know and love. I hope everyone likes the new template. I love the header, and the smooth lines, and the comments are just so pretty! It’s just that sometimes I need to change things up a bit to keep it a bit fresh around here. We may or may not stick with this template, but for now, it’s just a little change of pace, a palate cleanser, as it were, to give us all a little something new to look at.
Please don’t sue us – An open letter to Tony Fox, PR rep for Viacom

Time Warner Cable can gargle my mansack
I live in Dallas, Texas. I live in a high rise loft complex, and the only cable option I have is Time Warner Cable. Living on the 10th floor is not conducive to, say, hanging a dish out my window. You may remember that when I got to meet Stephen Colbert in October, 2008, my [...]
In my mind, I’m already on a relaxing beach
Every morning I get up at 5:45a, clean my house for 30 minutes, and then spend the next hour to hour and a half doing the nightly episode guide, responding to e-mail, and sometimes even getting up an extra post or two. Throughout the day, I monitor the site, and the comments, and the Colbert-related [...]
No Fact Zone fundraising drive – Please support our site!

Jen from DrakNet and I (okay, mostly Jen) have been working this morning on a way to get the site on a new server, and get it up and running. She’s worked with a company called LiquidWeb to get our site on a new dedicated server. What this means is that we have a box [...]
Frank discussion with all of the Zoners about the future of No Fact Zone
Okay, kiddos, grab your cocoa, and have a sit down. We need to have a talk. Specifically, we have to talk about the future of the site. I’ll make this as gentle as I can, but it’s also something that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. I want to keep these discussions as [...]
