News and Links

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

      recently upgraded WordPress to the newest edition — had a bad moment with it. I went to look at my site and found the whole front page filled with big, bold-faced error messages. OMGBrokeIt! I thought frantically. Broke my website! Aaiigh! How do I fix it!? Ack! Turned out that it was just one [...]

The Good Reporters

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

     Warning: This got long. Disclaimer: I have a high school science education. I probably got something wrong. Or at least, not all the way right.
     e can file this one under “Kind of Sad, Really.” The “Good Reporters”, and their little Evolution Isn’t Even Logical essay was just sort of depressing. I’m sitting here today, staring [...]

Kind of A Quickie.

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

     irst up, quick announcement: I’ve turned on the “register” feature of Word Press, so you can register an account to this site, if you want. I’m not sure what all that accomplishes. But, just in case it turns out to be cool, it’s there. Heh.
     As it turns out, the Wright Brothers weren’t up to anything [...]

Urban Dead

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

     o, I play this little web-based game called Urban Dead. It’s a zombies VS. humans game. You can play either one, and it’s player VS. player on a little square map. It’s a pretty nifty little game. I’m one of the leaders of a survivor group called The Shearbank Resistance, after the suburb we fight [...]

Lobster Soup, Remodeling, and Fat Dogs.

Friday, January 19th, 2007

     he seafood soup that I was talking about making came out excellently. It was extremely rich, so I didn’t end up eating very much of it, but maybe that’s just me, because Art and MrJames loved it.
     I had intended to make a crab and shrimp soup, using MrJames’ salmon soup recipe as a starting point. [...]

Restaurant Entertainment

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

     I am totally going to use the “I can’t introduce you to the manager! You haven’t shaved, and you’re not even wearing a tie!” line the next time someone asks me for the manager.

Fishy Soups, Memes, And How BushCo Is Destroying The World

Friday, January 12th, 2007

     Today’s projects include house cleaning, grocery shopping, check depositing, and attempting to create a seafood soup that Art likes. MrJames regularly makes a delicious salmon soup that both he and I love, but which Art detests. Art mentioned making the same sort of soup, only using crab instead of salmon. I’m going to give this [...]

Good-Byes and Hellos

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

     I’ve only got a few minutes before I have to get ready for work, so this will have to be quick.
     A regular customer, and owner of a well-reputed local auto salvage yard (the fellow who sold me the Olds) just came by and took the JellyBean away to her final resting place. So, good-bye JellyBean. [...]

Long, But Funny

Monday, January 8th, 2007

     This has got to be someone’s college film class project or something. It’s about 40 minutes long, and quite funny if you’re a Final Fantasy fan. Particularly if you’ve played the first few FF games.

Controversy

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

     “Pillow Angel” — Parents of a severely cognitively and physically disabled girl have publicly defended their decision to retard her growth through the use of hormonal therapy and surgery, saying they were acting out of love and compassion.
     These two people have a nine-year-old daughter who is “severely mentally impaired”. She has “static encephalopathy”, which is, [...]
