gimme your money!

As you all may have noticed, there is a new linking area on the left column…  Basically, it amounts to ways for me to try and convince this webpage to make me a little money.  The dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=6246″>first is nothing more than an honest-to-God Linoge | 30Dec06 1839 | digital real estate | 2 comments - (comments are closed) | buy my book

… urk?

So would someone please explain to me the logic of having "Cinco De Mayo" on the official, Google-constructed, "US Holidays" (emphasis added) calendar contained within Google Calendar?  Did I miss the addition of some more states, somewhere along the way?  Does my flag need to be replaced?  Huh? …

coworker comments

I can’t even type gibberish that fast! 

Yeah, well, that is what comes of having to spend three years where the cheapest and often easiest way of staying in touch with your girlfriend/fiancee/wife is nothing more than the Devil’s Child itself:  AOL Instant Messenger.  Trust me, I would trade…

have a holly, jolly christmas

No, I am not actually taking the time to write a weblog post on Christmas Eve…  Owing to the wonderful thing that is Movable Type, as well as a nifty little cron job, I can write posts, schedule them to be published in the future, and…

little flying (musical) reindeer

As you have probably figured out by now, over the course of the past two weeks, I have completely fallen in love with my new grey box sitting underneath my television. Granted, the logo still throws me for a complete loop, especially when it starts randomly dancing around…

oh, the choices, the choices

Preface: This entire post is written off my experiences, and what little I know about firearms. If any of it is factually incorrect, please let me know, and I will fix it. The opinion parts, however, are not likely to change.

Well, over the course of this past weekend,…

Once more into the breach!

equality = ?

Seen on a Jiffy Lube sign today: 

Wednesdays – Ladies’ day.  $8 off and free RainX. 

Sure.  A relatively normal, every-day kind of thing, and probably the kind of thing you can find at oil-change places around the country, as well as bars, some restaurants, and a multitude…

have a merry christmas

Well, here we are, ten days away from Christmas, and I have not yet written a related post.  This is due to a variety of reasons…  First, and foremost, my life has been somewhat busy of late, what with a promotion, Christmas shopping, vacation planning, and all the associated fun. …

isp = inordinately stupid people

So how many 24-hour outages in a month must one undergo before one can tell one’s ISP to get bent on one’s next bill?  Because this is just getting completely and utterly ludicrous, and I have a remarkably high tolerance for complete and utter ludicrousness.

pretty shiny lights

Well, unfortunately, I have gotten out of the habit of reviewing Battlestar Galatica episodes as I watch them…  Too many other things going on all at once.  However, now that I have a TiVo and can watch them at my liesure (yay Season Passes), and now that the episodes have…

characters and characterizations

Well, this was not exactly the outcome I was expecting, but… 

Your results:
You are Wash (Ship Pilot)

Wash (Ship Pilot)

Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command)

aw nuts

Well, it should be pretty much public knowledge by now that I am a major Firefly fan… addict…  junkie… however you want to phrase it.  From the first time I saw one of its episodes, shown out of order and at an atrocious time due to the complete…

day of infamy

Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: yesterday, December 7th, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United

brabusters

So I am an avid viewer of Mythbusters, easily one of the best television shows out there.  The basic premise, for those of you who have been living in a cave for the past few years, is that they take common urban myths, stories, and conjectures, and put…

stop… and go… and stop… and go…

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, I finally gave in to technology, and ordered myself a TiVo.  Despite some inordinate idiocy on the part of UPS (Explain to me how "Apartment 711" gets shortened to "Apartment".  No number.  No abbreviation of "apartment".  No logical pattern whatsoever. …

finally!

You cannot imagine how long I have been waiting for this plugin from chipple.net.  I have had far, far, far too many posts in the past either completely lost, or weakened considerably, due to my own idiocy in clicking a link, pressing the back button on…

which of these does not belong

Alright, take a look at this image.  Take a good look at it.  Now, as an exercise of logic for you, the reader, tell me which item does not belong in the image. 

 

Did you guess the headset?  You win! 

 

Or not.  Do…

when darkness ruled the earth

… or at least CafePress.

So, I guess it is about time for yet another CafePress-related post. After all, it has been a little while since the last one, and there have actually been a few minor improvements to my store, The Philosophy of Firefly.…

random morning observation

When you can look into a sock from one hole, and see out of the same sock from an entirely separate and disjoint hole, it is probably time to retire said sock.

reap the whirlwind

Stop the ACLU alerted me to a somewhat interesting chain of events surrounding the always infamous Westboro "Baptist Church".  I put the term "Baptist Church" in quotes because that organization does not embody either honest Baptist ideology, nor honest Christian ideology.  Sure, they call themselves by that name,…
