Jell-o posted a great bit about some really bad legislation that passed this eve. Have a read, it’s a little sad what’s going on in the land of the free these days, especially since a “universal” ID card will do next to nothing to fight terrorists, and do everything to make tracking joe citizen that […]

Ange, Matt, Kieran, and Guinness are in town this week as part of Ange’s trip back to take her verbal internal medicine exam. This is the one that is like being put in a pressure cooker, while your head is placed in a vice and holes are drilled in your toes and filled with turpentine. […]

So yesterday was my birthday. It’s the first year I’ve actually realised I’m getting older, in spite of that process starting on the original birthday a number of years back. I’ve been feeling my age the last little bit, and I think a lot of it has to do with the amount of time I’ve […]

Mike Hoye pointed this site out in the channel today. It’s a competition for pictures taken in the pursuit of science. The awards are sponsored out of Princeton University, and there are some truly beautiful pictures in there. Each picture has a brief writeup on what the picture is and, in a lot of cases, […]

If you’re a regular reader of fark, you know that there are certain interweeb icons which continue to pop up time and again. In one of the daily photoshop competitions, someone put together a pic which (I think) defines fark and its sense of humour pretty concisely. That picture is here, and it’s awesome. If […]

Tonight marked the first BBQ at the new pad. It was seventeen degrees, not a cloud in the sky, and no wind. The sun was setting, and it was just a perfect eve for a q. I made a maple-ginger-beer marinade for some chicken breasts, and prepared some steamed broccoli with lemon butter and some […]

So after watching the Serenity trailer a few times last week, I wanted to know what track was playing as River started to kick a little ass. After some hunting, I discovered that it was called Skylight, from Overseer. With two solid tracks (the other coming from SSX3: Accessory to Boarder), I’m going to have […]

J had a pretty cool idea while playing with Google maps. This is a shameless copy of that idea, plus just a wee bit of verbosity. It’s kinda cool—yet ridiculous—when I look back at all the different places I’ve lived in. From the start of writing this post, its turned from a “hey, look at […]

So I fired iTunes up earlier this aft and just hit play. No playlists, no party shuffle, no filtering of any kind. Just picked a spot, and hit play. Everything was fine until it hit Alanis – Now is the Time. This is the CD she made when she was annoying all of us before […]

Evan is one of the folks who make up pintday.org. His writing style is humorous, and I wish I had one-tenth of his style and flair. Even if you don’t agree with everything he writes-which is pretty much guaranteed-you will enjoy reading it. For the last little while, Ev’s been completing the Architecture program at […]
