A recent press conference held by Gary Kasparov was interrupted when a radio controlled penis flew toward the former Russian Grandmaster in an attempt to merely disrupt the proceedings or, perhaps, sodomize him. The offending member was struck down by a one of Kasparov’s seemingly unamused security detail.

We’ve heard you: most of the people in our Twitter friends list are already subscribed to our RSS feed, and don’t need a constant bombardment of our blog updates in 140 character spam bites. Sorry about that: it wasn’t malicious, we just weren’t thinking. This post will be the last time we’ll ping Twitter for each and every post. Instead, from now on, our Twitter strategy is to give an end-of-the-day brief synopsis of what we posted about, as well as to feed our Twitter account throughout the day with stray links and pithy observations about all of the mundane details of our lives: what color are our socks? Here’s a cute kitty cat video! Boy, I just can’t get moving today. What is this fluid filled goiter? And why is it talking to me?
If you’ve been an Ectomo friend who has stopped following us because we went overboard, please feel free to add us back to your friends list.

In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
