This morning, while I was wandering around the ‘net during a brief break at work, I stumbled across the somewhat interesting news that Mars, the home of little green men, is actually undergoing its own version of "global warming" as we speak. …
As I promised a few days ago, this weblog will not be silent upon this, the "One Day of Blog Silence". Silence amounts to nothing more than surrender at best… consent/assent at the worst, and it is something I will not partake in this day.
I am a science fiction fan… well, some would probably classify me under the heading of "junkie", but now we are fiddling with semantics, and that is never fun for anyone. Any way you cut it, I enjoy science fiction – especially visual representations of it. Unfortunately, the television channels …
So, apparently, my trackback spam catcher (tCode) does not get along very well with Linkfest Haven… As such, tCode is currently disabled until such time as I can figure it out, and I have implemented a new spam-catcher that basically moderates all trackback pings that do not link to …
Well, Chevrolet has taken an interesting tactic on releasing some of their concept cars… or, at least, tantalizing the American public with the examples of their concept cars, as is always the case with car companies. I have never really understood that aspect of car construction – if car companies …
A while ago, I wrote down the random idea of using nanotechnology to generate a "master key" to prevent you from having a massive pocket of jangling and annoying keys when you have as many as I do. It would be able to take three-dimensional impressions of your keys and …
Turns out today was a bumper crop for interesting news… First off, we have the distinct possibility of a second Earth having been found out in the nethers of space. Granted, its description may not be the most promising thing in the world…
So I recently filled a contact prescription I had laying around for the past six months or so… Always meant to, just never bothered to sit down and do enough comparison shopping to come up with a price I liked (I need toric lenses, and the brand my eye-doctor recommended …
In this day and age, it is remarkably rare to find anyone with the spine necessary to stand up for what they believe in, despite the assaults of philistines, non-believers, and outright attackers. Few people posses the gonads necessary to withstand the occasionally withering assault that can be levied against …
… so to speak. I finally got up off my lazy ass and took a short walking tour of the city in which I am currently residing… just as well, considering that I will be moving out of it in a month or so. Of course, my new camera accompanied me …
Detecting a pattern in the title of these open trackback posts, I am. Anywise, this post would have been up considerably sooner had my apartment complex’s network not crashed sometime last night… That, in and of itself, would not have been so bad, except no one comes in to …
Ok, as an exercise for the reader, I think it is time for a little comparing and contrasting. The Clinton News Network was kind enough to publish two differing viewpoints on the recent Virginia Tech atrocity, as a kind of "both sides of the coin" exercise… Maybe they are tired …
It seems as though when I find one piece of news on Firefly, I turn around and find another one. Of course, I am not complaining by any stretch of anyone’s imagination, i just am vaguely amused by the coincidence, that is all.
If I did not already know that my schedule would not allow me to partake, I would bloody well find the time and money to sneak my and Better Half’s way onboard the Browncoat Cruise coming up this December. I confess that I am not terribly familiar with cruise pricing …
… if just one student or teacher with the will to act had been armed today at Virginia Tech?
What, was that not the question that flashed through your mind when you read about the 33 fatalities at that university? Oh, wait, let me guess what you were thinking… …
Initially, I said I was never going to do this. However, after due consideration, I changed my mind. I now have an official Concealed Weapon or Firearm License, legally issued by the State of Florida.
You will forgive me for fuzzing out the personal/revealing information, of course. So what changed …
Considering the fact that the images and multimedia buried in this post took me over two hours to upload (thanks to a piss-poor network system in my apartment complex), you bloody well better enjoy it.
As I have been mentioning, today is Buy a Gun Day… Basically, take whatever …
“To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.” by Wilson v. State
