This is too fucking cool. I love scale model RC planes that have turbines – if you’ve ever seen one-or more importantly, heard one-you’ll know why. This model of a B-52 is, however, way over the top. 300lbs. and a full complement of eight engines (at 3k apiece, according to some of the posts) out-gun […]

So last night was one of the more painful moments in sport I’ve witnessed. Not painful “owww!!!!”, but painful “feck. maybe I could have made a bit of a difference had I been playing”. Our team played Shiny last night, and it was a 180 degree turnaround from the previous outing. I wasn’t playing due […]

So it’s now five days until the race, and I’ve managed to damage myself. I don’t know whether it was playing ultimate last Wednesday, working out the following Thursday, or just some weird, random accident. I do know that walking home Thursday night was excruciating, and that it still hurts. I seem to have torn […]

My result: “Like Vernon, a limp dick can be pretty useless.” (Johnson, Sterling – English as a Second F*cking Language […]

I would really, really, really like to go out and huck a disc around right now.

Perhaps the most asinine discussion/argument/soapbox session I’ve read yet on Slashdot is in the comments of this post about BS tech support answers. It’s a discussion about bits and bytes that descends into definitions of kilo and mega and nibbles and a bunch of other units, and everyone seems to think their viewpoint is right. […]

I don’t understand what some of my customers are thinking when they try to negotiate with me. They purchase hosting services, for which we have a fairly clearly defined series of limits. One of these limits is that you can only specify x number of recipients in the To:, CC:, and BCC: fields when using […]

You’re talking to who? This got me thinking, and I’m sad to say I’d probably be willing to pony up for a vanity Caller ID label.

err… “Yahoo”. Go Flames, Go! It’s nice to see a team who has filled, on average, 92% of the seats for every home game in the last eight years make the Stanley Cup. It’s even nicer when you take into account the fact that seven of those eight years they didn’t make the playoffs. I […]

You know when you wait a considerable time for something, expecting for it to be amazing, and it turns out to completely suck ass? That happened tonight. After a six month wait, summer ultimate season started up tonight. We got destroyed. It wasn’t fun, at all. Very few people showed up to play (we had […]
