going down

While I do have a tendency for preferring black-and-white photography, there are still uses for colors, and one of those uses would definitely be sunsets:

closing shop

… or, at least, closing sixty-day-old shops.
I recently installed two, new, powerful plugins on my weblog. The first is called Blog Janitor, and it shuts down access to trackbacking and commenting for all posts older than sixy days. Basically, I am trying to cut down on the copious …

possession is 9/10ths

America is royally and completely boned.

Cavuto asked Knollenberg: “When the housing industry CEOs come to you and say, ‘You know, [if] we go under and all the ancillary businesses – the dishwasher manufacturers, the washer-and-dryer manufacturers, the Lowe’s and the Home Depots that vastly depend on our being

just a little scary

Better Half and I are considering putting down an offer of a whole bloody lot of money on a new house within the next week or so… Unfortunately, this possibility is scary from multiple directions.
First, our offer is about 20% under what they are asking, so to say we …

equal rights

I may be more than a few years out of college at this point, but that does not mean this topic does not continue to hit close to home:

As usual, Oleg Volk‘s mastery of photography and words hits the nail squarely on the head.
Of course, this image …

black and white

Yes, I like monochromatic pictures, deal with it.

There is something comforting about a having a little fire in your abode, especially when you learn the outside temperatures are supposed to get down to the teens tonight…

It is kind of surprising what one can accomplish with a five-year-old, mid-to-high …

one bite at a time

How do you eat an elephant?
Likewise, how do you destroy the Constitution? One line at a time…
President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama has no regard for the Second Amendment – that is already a known, documented, and provable fact. Apparently, his desired Attorney General, Eric Holder, has no regard for

who am i kidding

Ain’t nobody going to read that monstrosity I wrote yesterday.
Hell, I would not read it.
*sigh* Need to learn how to be a leetle more concise……

ack!

The sky is falling!
Wait.
No.
Funny white stuff is falling out of the sky. Wierd……

never would have occurred to me

If you mix MRE-grade hot chocolate with Hiram Walker peppermint schnapps, you get something that tastes almost exactly like a liquid version of those chocolate-mint-chocolate after-dinner mints.
Good stuff, that.…

infuriating, indeed

I am constantly frustrated by the number and type of individuals who are so ready and willing to dance in the blood of innocents (1755 UPDATE: It would appear as though Buck has taken down this post. Unfortunately, the internet never forgets. Collectively, the blockquotes below make up …

attack of the clone

Due to some apparent confusion as to which comment link belongs to which post, I have gone and added a new comments link to the bottom of each post on the main page. If anything breaks, please let me know, and if you know of a better way to do …

where do we go?

So a guy at work is taking off a week, a full business week, to go hunting somewhere or another.
I like this state.…

i do not need this

You know what? I am getting really, really gorramed tired of the “need” argument coming up in reference to handguns, “assault rifles”, and all of the other fun, “evil”, nasty-looking firearms and equipments that are out there. You see it all over the place these days… “You do not need …

building an aesthetic

Ok, so I have spent a fair bit of time researching various options online, and I have come to the conclusion that the upper package for B.O.M.B.E.R. is going to come from the good folks at Del-Ton Inc. More specifically, I am looking at a 16″ mid-length custom upper, …

national ammo day

For those of you who were not already aware, today is National Ammo Day – an ammo BUYcott. I am not sure I agree with making an already hard-to-come by product even more sparse, and thus possibly driving up prices, but I certainly cannot disagree with people procuring more ammunition. …

flash me!

So I started putting up some Christmas lights today, which, all in all, is a relatively simple process for me – we still live in an apartment complex, so about the only place we can effectively decorate is our porch/patio. This evening, I started by wrapping each of the vertical …

moving up

Dood. CSS2 has verticality now! Well, it has a property called “z-index” with which you can layer different boxes/divs/images/whateverthehellyouwant in an almost-three-dimensional manner.
For those of you who might have noticed (like, say, my wife), the 9-11 corner image was hiding when this webpage was viewed at anything …

chief’s got the right idea

1. Nathan Fillion (or at least his voice) is back for the sequel to Halo 3. Shiny.

Nathan Fillion of Firefly, who played a random ODST in Halo 3, is signed up the play one of the squad members. “So if you like the voice cast in Halo 3,

disappointment

A friend of Better Half’s posited the question, “How do you feel about the election when you look back at it?” I initially left my response as a comment on his weblog, but have decided it warrants a little fleshing-out and posting here.
In response…
Honestly, I am disappointed …
