I wonder…

… Just how many people actually read the posts that are trackbacked to their open trackback posts. Do you?

holy backups, batman

One of the many drawbacks of living geographically separated from your Better Half is that transferring files from one another can be notoriously painful and/or complicated. Sure, AIM (one of the easiest and cheapest ways to keep in touch, I might add) does support file transfers, but they are crotchety …

how to confuse the hell out of people

Wear a pair of combat boots, and a pair of baggy cargo pants, and then walk around carrying a bag from Victoria’s Secret and one from REI.
The looks you get……

picture frames gone spiffy

I do not know about you, but I have a lot of digital pictures. A lot of digital pictures… like in the neighborhood of 14,000. Granted, over two thousand of those came from our cross-country trip, and almost another thousand from my wedding, but that is still a lot of …

butt of a joke

As you all may recall, I wrote about the U15 stock replacement for any AR-15-style riles, for those people who are unfortunate to live within the People’s Republic of Kalifornistan. Basically, it removes the pistol grip of the AR-15 (the sticking point with the Kalifornistan laws) as well …

thank you for the wine

Well, it is not wine, but I still appreciate the plug SerenityStuff.com put in for my book, Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Firefly. And, I confess, no, it does not have any decent chili recipies in it, nor any information on how to handle …

payperpost – a review

As I mentioned repeatedly before, this weblog is attempting a few experiments with outside funding sources. One such source is PayPerPost. As with a wide variety of other webpages out there, this particular company specializes in blog marketing, in that it connects advertisers interested in having posts on …

operation grim

Alrighty, I will admit it… once upon a time, I did, indeed, have a Maxim subscription – see, I am not as nerdy as you once thought. At least not mostly. If it is any consolation, I read it primarily for the same reason my mother read Playboy – the …

oh, that is priceless

So I went and downloaded the Cinematic Trailer for Starcraft 2 (in addition to the gameplay video, which is just amazing, but not the point of this post), and watched it… I was suitably impressed right up until one minute and thirty-seven seconds in.
The basic idea of the scene …

… I could write this much in a week. So what have you been up to?

e.t. phone home

You all know the feeling… you are either moving with a cell phone, looking to get a cell phone, or trying to change providers, and while each and every cell phone provider out there has surprisingly comprehensive maps of their coverage areas and what is roaming and where their data …

just drive on by

I admit, there has not been a whole lot of Serenity-related news on this weblog for quite some time now, and I apologize for that. Do not get me wrong – the news has certainly been out there… I have just been lazy. In the spirit of trying to …

smorty – a review

As I previously mentioned, this weblog is exploring some alternate means of funding itself – after all, webspace is not cheap, and someone or something has to pay for it all. One of those alternatives particularly relevant to weblogs is to find a way to get get paid to blog

stop dog-earing my posts

Use a bookmark instead!
… Yeah, ok, that was pretty bad. Anywise, I admit, I have never really jumped on the whole social networking rocketship all that much. Granted, I do have a Facebook account, but that is primarily to keep in touch with some old college friends. Otherwise, I …

full exposure

No, not of me, ladies. Sorry. You would have to clear that through Better Half.
So, what am I exposing instead? Well, as a previous post may have indicated, this weblog is trying to explore some alternate funding possibilities, in light of the fact that AdSense is all-but useless for …

why i love america

Over the past few days, quite a few people have been documenting why they love America. This is, of course, understandable, considering that yesterday was the Fourth of July – the day America declared her independence from the oppressive rule of the British.
Far be it for me to …

i find your faith … disturbing

Please excuse the mutiliation of the quote – it makes sense later on. As my long-time readers are probably aware, this weblog is being hosted on Dreamhost machines. Despite an inordinate amount of negative reviews, complaints about downtime, and gripes about customer service, I have never really had any problems …
