bi-wheel concealment

Random question for today: I cannot be the only law-abiding gun owner who regularly rides a bicycle (yes, I said “bicycle”, not “motorcycle”, though if the answers for both are more-or-less equivalent, feel free to weigh in). With that in mind, what do you all carry, and where do you …

resurrecting the dead

One of the byproducts of our most-recent move is that Better Half and I have realized just how little we have in the way of furniture. Two dressers, a bed, two futons, an arm chair, a desk, a desk chair, and three particleboard bookshelves (only 2ish of which actually survived …

just a little suggestion

Something every bachelor needs: A crock pot.
1. It is almost easier to use than a TV dinner, and makes food that is several orders of magnitude better.
2. It is a great way to show off to girlfriends that you do, indeed, cook… while doing so at a minimum …

digital shininess

All fourteen episodes of Firefly.
All online.
And all free.
Granted, they are slightly out of order, but what better way to introduce the uninitiated to the shininess that is the Firefly ‘verse?…

irony spelled “alpha tango foxtrot”

I could not quite decide whether to file this report by the Associated Press as humor or firearm-related:

The ATF lost 76 weapons and hundreds of laptops over five years, the Justice Department reported Wednesday, blaming carelessness and sloppy record-keeping.

Thirty-five of the missing handguns, rifles, Tasers and other weapons

keeping up appearances

Ok, so you have probably noticed a few obvious changes to the site, and there have been a few additional not-so-obvious changes. Time for the run-down.
1. The “We Remember” banner on the upper left corner is there courtesy of Mauser Girl. I had to tinker with her code …

showin’ da bling


Yessiree, ladies and gentlefolk, that is none other than yours truly finally wearing his Unorganized Militia Propaganda Corps swag. Long story made short, I finally unpacked the jean jacket a few days ago, bought some fabric glue a day or two later, and put it all to good use. My …

full of sound and fury

Do you talk too much in your blog?Do you talk too much in your blog?Somehow, I figured this. Hell, even now, with this image off to the left, I cannot help but to add my own little two cents to the overall post. Long winded? Me? Well, apparently, only 26% more long-winded than most people. Or something.…

excessive copy-pasting ahead

Ever since reading his work, Freehold, I have been something of a Michael Z. Williamson fan – no great surprise there, eh? Decent writer (or, at least, hellaciously better than me, which, granted, is no large task), strong small-l-libertarian leanings, a healthy respect of and for self-reliance and self-defense, gun …

appellation artifice

So apparently the deceptive and misleading fake-”pro-gun”-group American Hunters and Shooters Association has endorsed Barack Hussein Obama. This is no great surprise to anyone paying attention, since Barack Hussein Obama is the most rabidly anti-gun Presidential candidate to grace American politics for a while, and the American Hunters and

sensor ping XLVIII

Well, since the last one is about to scroll its way off the bottom of the page, time for another one. The general premise is that you are free to ping this post (and every other post in this category), as long as you link back to it. Consider it …

full-force feedback

So how does this fit into Rule 2 and 3?

Honestly, the entire Novint Falcon concept sounds absolutely wonderful, and definitely something that seems to be custom-built for the FPS empire… Or it could be something like the old Ageia/NVidia Physx engine that made a big debut a few

typing without thought

I have to admit, insipid, vapid nonsense like this really gets on my nerves sometimes. To save you the trouble of clicking on that link and subjecting yourself to the nonsense contained therein, I have quoted the section relevant to this particular post below:

2. Re. Gun Control: I support

taking fire

You know, when you get right down to it, Dawn of War really is not that good of an RTS game, especially compared to some of the greats. This is somewhat understandable, considering that the mechanics, story, and very nature of the game were all based upon a turn-based, …

here cavalry, cavalry, cavalry

So I have two “help me” questions today, and my Google-magic is failing me on both counts.
First, my aforementioned issues with SiteMeter. Opera does not have the same problem as IE7, so I can only assume that it is an IE fault with dynamic redirects or something like …

dumbing it down

Is anyone else not terribly impressed with SiteMeter‘s new, “improved” version?
I admit it – I am a cheap-assed bum, and run their free version, so it has always been a neutered and lobotomized tool for me. However, one of the useful aspects of it was always being …

faster than a speeding bullitt

I made the mistake of test-driving a 2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt today, just for the fun of it. The Ford dealership in town is placed perfectly – I have to drive past it to get almost anywhere, and the brightly-written “Bullet” (yes, they spelled it that way) on its windshield …

just a little creepy

River Tam (otherwise referred to as Summer Glau) plays a mean Terminator. I guess she just does the whole, “I can kill you with my brain/hands/feet/whatever-is-handy” schtick pretty well – and who is going to argue with this watching your back? (*Waits for the inevitable joke.*)
That said, …

note to self

Have paper towels handy when first using pens that spent the past three months in un-air-conditioned shipment and storage.…

gun blogger rendezvous 2008

Yessiree, ladies and gentlemen, I will be there!
You heard right – amazingly enough, despite moving twice in the past three months, despite employment being up in the air, and despite having to cross the country, I will actually be attending the Gun Blogger Rendezvous this year. To be fair, …
