Can someone in the civil engineering world please explain to me why my air conditioner / heat pump condensate drain pipe empties into my laundry room? A room which, so far as I can tell, does not have a floor drain. And, to be specific, it empties from the ceiling,…
Well, as you all know, I just put money down on an M1A SOCOM II. I phrase it as such not due to any financial difficulties on my part in actually purchasing the firearm, but due to the fact of Kalifornistan laws, I cannot actually touch the item…
After reading Freehold, I often contemplated whether or not such a society could exist within the confines of the “modern” world. Unfortunately, the product of those times of introspection was essentially, “No.” The theoretical country would have to be just as selective, just as isolationist, just as protective, and…
Those of us who are unfortunate enough to live within the confines of the People’s Republik of Kalifornistan are probably familiar with the concept of rolling blackouts, or at least massive amounts of energy conservation. Probably has something to do with the idiotic restrictions Kalifornistan puts on constructing powerplants within…
So I got bored on the way home from my car’s maintenance appointment today, and as any of you probably know, bored Linoges are bad things. The thought occurred to me, thanks to a webpage that will remain nameless and linkless just due to the sheer amount of stupidity contained…
There certainly is something satisfying about cleaning firearms… Having it go from absolutely filthy black (and there is something about the Baby Eagle design that gets residue all over everything) to all shiny/matte and pretty is just… well… good. I dislike cleaning as a rule, but exceptions are made. Oh,…
Just got back from expending 200 rounds of 9mm Luger at Discount Gun Mart, as my part to support the National Exercise Your Rights Day (apart from ordering probably too much ammo from MidwayUSA this morning to stock up before the September 1 price…
So, there are actually a few things one should schedule for tomorrow, impressively enough. They are, in no particular order: Tomorrow happens to be National Exercise Your Rights Day. Unfortunately, I was a little premature in my celebrations, however, I will still be at a…
… it does not mean they are any good at it. In browsing around the internet today, Says Uncle happened to point me towards an interesting column in the Chicago Sun-Times. Ok, it really was not that interesting, but it was somewhat troubling, both in terms…
Happy birthday SLUGGY! Ten years going, and still one of the best webcomics out there. Hell, what am I saying? The best! For those uninitiated, Sluggy rules. Period. Now go forth and read, for it is nifty! And no one…
So I have a small confession to make. I was going to be a good little boy, and postpone any major firearm-related purchases until Tuesday’s National Exercise Your Rights Day – after all, it would make the largest impact then. However, before this week got too far along,…
… to get y’all’s attention. Open trackback post, at your service… primarily to check to see if trackbacks are working properly yet.
Update: Judging from the Technorati Reactions to this post, trackbacks are still jacked up. As such, TCode has been temporarily disabled. If you experienced any…
One of the things I do after being away from home for a while is go to one of the nearby sushi restaurants, and get myself a nice roll, some tempura if they have it, and all the wasabi I can get away with stealing. Kind of a welcome-home thing…
So here’s how it is. My weblog just updated from Movable Type 3.5 to Movable Type 4.0. If you check out the webpage, you will understand that the new version of Movable Type is… well… very new, and very different from the old ones. To start…
It is not often that I will delve into my personal life in any great depth on this weblog, but this seems like a good reason to do so. To get straight to the point, my maternal grandmother is currently suffering through the later stages of one of the many…
If you have been unable to comment or trackback to my weblog, there was a reason for it – I was attempting to update its engine to Movable Type 4. In short, I was successful. But good Christ it was a lot more painful than it should…
Bugger all… As a personal request, I ask that those of you reading this post attempt to trackback to any of my 350-odd previous posts, and tell me what error you receive. Apparently my weblog is just ignoring trackbacks… except the spam ones, for some reason. Any help will be…
I apologize for the relative silence over the past few days, but things come up, as I am quite sure you all are aware. However, something else has come up which is going to take precedence over a few other things for the moment. On August 28th, the Brady…
So I admit it… I have become hooked on contact lenses. I was not so sure about them way back at the beginning… heck, I was not even sure I could stand poking myself in the eyes every day just to put them in and take them out. However, I…
Alright, as a general rule, I do not delete comments here. There was one instance where I did, but that was solely because I was completely and utterly disgusted with the language and message of the poster, and I reserve that right in the future. That said, there is little…
So I gave blood today, for the first time in my 25 years of life. Why today? Well, to put it simply, my conscience finally caught up with me – you see, fortunately or unfortunately, I was gifted with an O positive bloodtype. While this is not nearly as rare…
I admit I have been somewhat remiss about this, and I apologize. For those who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, a Collector’s Edition of Serenity is due to be released on the 21st of this month – just a scant few days away.…
As with probably everyone in my generation, I have had a cell phone for quite a while now. My first one was secured back in my freshman year of college, and I have since gone through both multiple phones and multiple companies. However, one thing I have never really taken…
… for me to beg, but I figured I may as well give everything a fair chance. I mean, after all, with ammunition pricesgoing up, what is a shooter to do? Hit the image below if you would like to make a donation to…
… but eBay just lost a customer. I say it does not matter not out of any sense of self-deprication (though I have my own fair share of that), but rather because I have purchased all of maybe three things off that online bidding site since its inception. Sure,…
In light of how difficult it is to go shooting here in Kalifornistan, I have idly started considering trying to find a group of people to get a little paintball action going. Of course, Southern Kalifornistan is not exactly the most sparsely-populated area in the world, so finding…
Yeah, well, no one is perfect. However, as such, you should do me the pleasure of taking pity on me and providing me a few trackbacks so I have the encouragement not to forget in the future. After all, if no one trackbacks, I may not keep writing these open-trackback-posts.…
As provided to me by my business professor father-in-law:
Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob
If you were ever looking for a firm specializing in Search Engine Optimization, Apogee Search is probably a good starting point. Founded way back in 2001, the company has rapidly grown to be one of the 25 largest search engine marketing firms in the world… and we…
So a little while ago, it came to my attention that some of the more influential (at least in their minds) liberal webloggers of the internet were considering creating their own weblogger’s union, after a fashion. Now, as a free-market type myself, I have never…
As you all may or may not have known, I have been idly looking into creating a Browncoat-style costume for the past few months… Granted, I have nowhere to show it off (especially after missing ComiCon, much to my continual annoyance), but it is something…
As a child, I used to play around with rubber stamps as much as possible… For some reason, they always fascinated me (Easily entertained? Me? Noooo!). Hell, I even had a starter set of stamps for Egyptian hieroglyphics, and another set that allowed me to “build” two-dimensional bridges,…

random quotes
“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.” by Tenche Cox
