Ok, I am not a mathematician (Better Half is, but that is not the point), and I occasionally have somewhat substantial difficulties with higher-order number-crunching. I had to take Statics and Dynamics twice in college, narrowly passed Thermodynamics, and only succeeded in passing all of my Probability and Statistics classes…
So, in light of my continuing tradition of making a new category for every concept I create at least four posts on, I now present you with the "urk" category. Do not worry, "fools and jesters" is still around, and will still be used for the general-purpose news of…
You know, I really should just add a category called "urk".
Seen today at Best Buy: A display with the graphic "Get the artists your friends have never heard of… first!" and "Find Them First" written on it, in bold yellow font, placed over a rack of CDs. On that…
Granted the below quote was uttered by an actor in a movie (a good movie, yes, but still a movie), but it is definitely something that people, even today, should read and consider. Where do your priorities lie, where do our country’s priorities lie, and where do the world’s priorities…
I swear to God almighty that I, in no way, answered the questions of this quiz in any way that would intentionally influence the outcome. However, that said, I received the following response:
For those of you who turned on the old-skool electronic god (otherwise known as a "television", though who calls it that?) yesterday evening, and had your world shattered by the complete and utter absence of Battlestar Galatica, take heart. It turns out that the various executives of the…
So I am not as up-to-date on the latest and greatest nifties that are floating around the Internet as I might like or proclaim to be. Kind of a byproduct of barely having time to handle my own personal stuff, much less embark upon other interests (note the marked decrease…
So one of my favorite aspects of the various online news agencies around the world is their propensity towards developing a slideshow of all of the interesting pictures their employees took in the past week. I am not particularly sure which company started the pattern, but they are always something…
Guess what that white stuff is on the ground around the palm trees? And guess where that image was taken? Santa Clarita, West Los Angeles, and Malibu, California. Well, that picture was not taken in all three places, but what it shows…
Well, in celebration of me finally at least getting started on de-decorating and dismantling my Christmas tree (Yes, it has been sitting there quite happily for the past few weeks… It never complained, so I never really thought about it.), I figured I would share a little of the pictures…
Or at least he bloody well should be. It took me a few days to decide just how I feel about this Star Trek news, but I have finally come down on one side of the fence or the other… on all counts. First, for the love…
At least when they are marathons of Battlestar Galactica. Not so sure about "normal" ones.
One of the more interesting things going on during this marathon is that the SciFi channel decided to do a viewer poll while the aired the entire third season of
Or at least last year was. Due to the intricacies of my family’s placement around the country, Better Half and I had what amounted to be three separate Christmas celebrations. First, we went to her parents’ home for the celebration on the actual day of Christmas. Second, we had our…
… is about all I expect to hear in response to these groaners. They were forwarded on to me by an acquaintance of mine, so I claim absolutely no ownership or responsibility over them… unless you happen to like them, in which case I was the sole author, and you…
Have you ever had the morning where you get up, go through your routine, get your OJ, check your email, do all that good stuff, then go to the bathroom, pick up your electric razor, push the button… and nothing happens?
So as you all are probably aware by now, I have been taking a rather lengthy Christmas/New Year’s Eve break from blogging… still am, really, but I thought I would go ahead and put this one up for the world to view. I should be back sometime next week, though…

“...Virtually never are murderers the ordinary, law-abiding people against whom gun bans are aimed. Almost without exception, murderers are extreme aberrants with lifelong histories of crime, substance abuse, psychopathology, mental retardation and/or irrational violence against those around them, as well as other hazardous behavior, e.g., automobile and gun accidents.” by Don B.
