I'm still testing out this theme.

Way back when I was 17, my girlfriend’s family would let me tag along on trips with them. In retrospect, this was a sign that I was passing muster with the powers that be, but at the time I was just thinking “free trip!” and “I get to hang out with this cute girl!”. That [...]
In the North Pole they’re very busy this time of year. Presumably treading water. But in the South Pole, there’s plenty of time for an alcohol induced Holiday brawl. I’d probably be pretty angry if I was forced to evacuate my toyshop and/or research station in sub-zero temperatures. Fortunately, nobody at the South Pole asked [...]
As I’ve mentioned before, “Intellectual property” (I.P.) is a recent concept that has had a very unique implementation over the last 50 years. It is derived from the ancestral concept of copyright, which worked out so well for some people that they wanted to extend full property concepts to it. These folks will talk about [...]
400+ pictures recovered from the SD card. That’s good. New 250Gb non-seagate harddrive installed in macbook. That’s better than before. Now I can lose twice as much data. Found my backup from August…although it’s only a partial backup so I can’t do a full restore. That’s not ideal but ok. I needed to clear up [...]
A couple days ago I offloaded several hundred pictures from my camera to my macbook. At the time, I remember thinking “hmmmm…I should probably back up right about now”. Alas…that would have been too smart. This morning (apparently at 6:30 am), the harddrive on our macbook died. Even though I don’t have the same firmware/model, [...]
(my daughter is giving me quite the evil eye for this post title…..) So, tonight I stumbled on the polar opposite from the “Jesus washing the feet of world leaders”. That group had no concept of the Holiness of God. Tonight we have a group who has no concept of His mercy and grace. They [...]
I received 77 credits on The Sci Fi Sounds QuizHow much of a Sci-Fi geek are you? Guess the Sci-Fi Movie Sounds hereCanon powershot
Saw this over at a friend’s blog. Wow…if there’s anything that completely symbolizes the mess we’re in, this is it. This is one of the most grotesque and scariest things I’ve seen in awhile. It should send chills down the spines of any U.S. Citizen with an understanding of the origins of our country. That [...]
I’m sure everyone has seen the story of the people out west who got lost in the snow looking for a Christmas tree (how metaphorical is that?) If you read the Fox News account and the CNN account, you can figure out that they were believers, and further they kept their focus by singing. They [...]
Last night I saw Ron Paul on Colbert (insert eagle shriek). Colbert was pretty cool, but he asked some of the standard you-must-be-crazy questions. They all must pass around memos or something, even Colbert. Most of these folks try to coax some radical ideas from Ron, and unfortunately his un-candidate demeanor lends itself to appearing [...]
This is the latest thing the ‘net is all aflutter about: By some accounts, this has to be the most satanic thing you’ll see all day.
The current mortgage collapse is explained pretty well here. I personally knew something strange was afoot when my daughter memorized the Countrywide mortgage commercials, and gleefully recited them every time they came on. That an 8 year old is in the demographic of a mortgage advertisement makes you wonder. And even though my smart, precious [...]
When I was 8, I got one of these for Christmas. Ah the joy! Here’s more info on wikipedia. I remember it was $30. Which is roughly $90 or so today. I got the trailer with my own money a few months later. It was $16 ($50 today). Don’t miss the commercial here. It’s funny [...]
Yet another braindead reaction from a public school. This time a 5th grader brings a steak knife to cut up her lunch and is suspended for 10 days. I can kind of see some discipline because you don’t want everyone bringing a steak knife to school. Something along the lines of confiscating the knife and [...]
Couple comments from the Jesus washing feet thing. Thanks to those of you who take the time to post comments, even if you don’t agree with me. I *do* appreciate it. I’ll respond more generally and thoroughly in another post, but first from Miranda: Did you ever look to see who commissioned the painting? It [...]
Ron Paul is well on his way to raising over 5 million dollars in the teaparty fundraiser today. I donated a few bucks. I encourage you to do so as well. The median donation is 50 bucks. Why is it that no other candidates are getting this kind of grass roots financial support? Think past [...]
This was before Apple Computers could fix bad drummers and flat singers.
I’ve been impressed with this blog. I pretty much disagree with it entirely when it comes to religious issues, but it’s original and well thought out. This makes it worth a visit. Today comes this gem (via this post). (click picture for larger version) The author of the post goes on to say that if [...]
More from the definers of theft…. The RIAA says that transferring a CD to your iPod is unauthorized. This echos a prior statement by a Sony exec (referred in the article) who says making a copy for yourself “a nice way of saying ‘steals just one copy”. This shows just how crazy the RIAA really [...]
I finally got ahold of a Ron Paul bumper sticker, and I’m going to put it on my car. A little known tip is that putting a political sticker on the left front bumper of your vehicle will create far more exposure for a candidate than the rear of your vehicle. The idea is that [...]
