Obama-Goatse logo (320×240),by sfslim. Demonstrating the wide margins of his latest victories over Senator Clinton, and “spreading open the political process so the light of hope can shine into the darkest recesses of Washington.” Not really… it’s a deliberately-added goatse reference. But it’s funny. Mom — ignore our email conversation from the other day. If [ READ MORE ]
It’s that time again. I got an official evaluation (FINALLY) from the school I’ve been attending. I have enough credits right now to receive an Associate in Science. So, my options are: Take 1 more course, satisfying the school’s “residency” requirements, having my job pay the tuition for the course, and then ponying up $85 [ READ MORE ]
I hadn’t heard of this til lately. Georgia’s state legislature seems to have passed a resolution that there was a mistake in some surveying and some border drawing two centuries ago, and wants to expand part of their northern border about 1 mile northward. This would give them access to the Tennessee River just north [ READ MORE ]
Act I For the people who love nerds: The Nerd Handbook. A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head. Yeah, sometimes. The post discusses things like your nerd’s control issues, the cave he has built (which [ READ MORE ]
I hooked it up last night. It sounded a bit noisier than I remembered. I believe that to be the hard drive, though, as I didn’t put a disk in last night. Also, I’ll attribute it to sitting next to the machine, as I was too lazy to go back to the [ READ MORE ]
I got an email from La Angela that said “I think your XBox is back.” My first thought: “Yay?” Yes, including the question mark. The repair center had received my box on the 14th, 6 days after I shipped it UPS ground. Six days later, I had another machine. I smelled [ READ MORE ]
It’s been a week since I last posted. I know, I know, I was doing so well… this is the longest break I’ve had in 58 days. I was doing so well. It all started with a flu/bronchitis/generally-feel-bad bug that started going around, and a babysitting gig. I had taken a 4-day weekend to get a [ READ MORE ]
Just a plug for a real-life/internet friend of mine, Joe Cotter. He and his wife are in China adopting a beautiful little girl right now, and he’s set up a blog specifically for the trip. Photos, too. [ READ MORE ]
And as a birthday present, he is offering up one book, free of charge. The catch is, you have to vote for it: Which book, though…? Ah, that’s up to you. What I want you to do is think — not about which of the books below is your favourite, but if you were giving one away [ READ MORE ]
Quick note. This doesn’t really deserve a part 4… The coffin went to the USP store Friday morning. I was sick most of the week, and couldn’t drop it off sooner. The clerks in the store were pretty funny, though. They recognized it right off the bat as an XBox 360. That does [ READ MORE ]
