As most of you are currently aware I think HomestarRunner.com is hilarious. I’ve been meaning to start keeping track of the clever lines that are certain to be inside jokes / references so that I can go back and search for them later… and have a centralized place to find them. Since I don’t really [...]

This is probably the funniest thing I’ve read all week. (Yes, I know it’s monday) Alice Cooper is apparently not thrilled about the Vote for Change concert tour. “If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we [...]

It must be heart-breaking to get your ass kicked at the olympics. Most people take it like adults, realize that hardly anyone gets to go to the olympics anyway, and takes their medal (or not) and goes home happy to have had a chance to compete. Not Russia and South Korea, however. Svetlana Khorkina of Russia [...]

Last night I installed Windows XP Service Pack 2… no ill-effects so far. That’s good. I decided, since it took a while and needed a reboot to take effect, to just turn off the computer for the night. If you normally sleep with some sort of heavy electronic implement on and whirring, turn it off [...]

This is very interesting. Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani has warned that Iran might launch a pre-emptive strike against United States forces in the region to prevent an attack on its nuclear facilities. ‘We will not sit (with arms folded) to wait for what others will do to us,’ he told Al-Jazeera television when asked [...]

Apparently my “help willing” add worked — I’ve got an interview on Monday with the City of N’port for a neat-sounding job maintaining the city’s Geographical Information Systems (GIS). That would be a “good thing” as they say. By the way, you people took my last post WAY too seriously. Besides, you’re all crazy: running sucks.

So here’s a question that’s been on my mind lately: Who invented running? No, really. Stop laughing. Who did it? Maybe more importantly… WHY? Think about it… have you ever “gone running”? Think about how that works for a minute. You run somewhere and then… get this… you RUN BACK. Wow. That was productive. You [...]

So this is a weird game, but it’s kinda fun. I’m currently up to level 8 and 7500+ points. I’m not planning on making any posts tomorrow so here are somethings you can do to occupy yourselves in the mean time. 1. Play the aforementioned game. 2. Cruise around the links on the sidebar, the three link lists… [...]

A veritable flurry of activity on the last post made it difficult to pick the winners and give awards, but I did it anyway because I’m cool like that. Awards were given as I thought them up and the over-all winner was the person who most consistently entertained me. That required multiple posts. I have no doubt [...]

Alright, so I’ve called my readers out before… and y’all have tended to come through. We’ll see how you do with this one, though, since it is the most difficult task I’ve put before you yet. We’re going to play a game. I’ve seen you all drop 100+ comments here in the past week, so we’re [...]
