If you’re not a parent or don’t want to talk about the logistics of sickness, move along… nothing to see here. You’ve been warned. So after Thanksgiving dinner was over and we were all about to head home, my nephew got sick. Really sick. Suddenly and explosively. And voluminously. It was very surprising, so for a second everyone just stood there not sure what to do. (I feel bad for my nephew, too. Not only . . . → Read More: Not for the queasy – where to get sick I just got a comment on an old post here that is obviously from a person desperate to find a close friend. Unfortunately, it seems he forgot his friend’s email address, phone number, country of origin, known relatives, and how to use the internet properly. I’m here to help. Instead of allowing his comment to appear on an old post that no one will ever see, I’m going to put it front and center here, because . . . → Read More: In Search Of…. Mike Mossberg Two “robots” found on YouTube today… One: paint this dark grey and it would be the coolest homemade AT-ST (All Terrian-Scout Transport) Halloween costume on the block. Just add a Wookie head sticking out of the top. Two: What does a factory robot do on weekends? And how much does it charge? Seems like it could be a lucrative side business. . . . → Read More: YouTube robots A few things that are now probably old news for some of you have come across my reader. Sorry I didn’t get to pass them on earlier. I done been busy. So this’ll be just a quick list for the most part. The next Family Guy: Blue Harvest special will parody Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. There will also be an upcoming Family Guy episode that features a Star Trek crew: “In one episode, . . . → Read More: Catch up on Sci-fi news Let’s face it… some stereotypes exist for a reason. Even among native English speakers, in general, programmers are not known for their English skills. I know a few who buck that trend, but there are plenty of examples to prove the rule. For example, while withdrawing a student from a course earlier today, the system sent back this confirmation message: Withdrawment was successful. Yeah. That’s a whole new word right there. Thanks for your contribution . . . → Read More: Programmer English Where would we be without the internet? How would we ever know this kind of amazingly useful information? Toilet facts: The average person spends three years of their life on the “john”. The average person flushes a toilet about 2500 times a year, while using about eight sheets of toilet paper per day. An estimated 2.6 billion people worldwide do not have access to proper toilet facilities, particularly in rural areas of China and India. . . . → Read More: Your toilet probably flushes in E-flat I’m winning! That’s the excitement of Andy’s commentluv contest. Every comment on every participating blog is an entry. I’ve lucked into winning twice now. The first win was, ironically enough, on my own post announcing the contest, in a comment where I was just trying to prove that I couldn’t enter on my own blog. The second one was today, on Dan’s Race for a Million blog (which, btw, is pretty good – check it . . . → Read More: I won again! There is nothing more perfect than the punch line of this Dilbert strip.
Who among us cannot relate? I actually considered making that my new theme on this site. There are times that it seems to perfectly capture my life. That could be depressing, but the intent of this strip is to laugh at the depression, and that’s usually what I do in life as well. It’s amazing how well the stress . . . → Read More: What futility doesn’t feel like I was giving Heroes the benefit of the doubt. Sure, they’d stumbled. The brother/sister Mexican road trip last season was a big mistake. This season was an improvement for a while (well, it had promise, anyway), but there have been noticeable issues. But I was willing to gloss over them because I like the characters, and I still think the story has potential. This week, they lost me. And Hiro is the most obvious example . . . → Read More: “Heroes” hits bottom and grabs for the shovel Kirk and Spock over the Enterprise First off, if you haven’t yet, go see the trailer. This one is worth the HD download. It’s pretty. Okay, back already? Good. Looks pretty good, don’t it? I’m not going to obsess over the details here. I’ll do that at other blogs. Just wanted to put my quick two cents in: I can already tell from the trailer… I’m gonna like this movie. Apparently, I’m an easy . . . → Read More: Star Trek (2009) full trailer released |
