Remember when the M in MTV stood for music? Yeah, me too. I still love music videos as an art form and wish MTV would come to its senses, or at least have the decency to change its name. However, I doubt they’ll return to the music video driven format any time soon, so I [...]
Eivind (zytta) sent me an Ugly Doll the other day (he’s called Jeero). Contrary to its name, it’s really cute. Thanks, Eivind *hugs*
Satirist, writer, humorist, broadcaster, and Sage of Cricklewood, Alan Coren died of lung cancer on Thursday (October 18th). To say he was brilliantly funny is somewhat of an understatement, and doesn’t do him justice. He was brilliant and brilliantly funny–a master wordsmith with an incredible sense of humor, and masterful humorist with an [...]
From my trip to the store last night:
Is it art for furries, art by furries, or art of furries?
I thought this was the weirdest product I had seen, or at least the weirdest product name, but then while I was resizing the image to upload it I noticed that the package next to it says [...]
I was reading In These Times this afternoon and ran across this article. It’s by Vonnegut, and is nothing ground breaking. In fact, most of what he says has been said many, many times before. I just like how he said it.
The fine people at worth1000.com sponsor photoshop contests as well as some other art contests. The other day one of their photoshop challenges was titled “Mamsects and Insmals 5“. The rules were simple, you must meld an insect and a mammal while remembering that arachnids are not insects, and that amphibians, birds and [...]
So umm, yeah…there seems to be a tree on our house.
We have mice, or at least a mouse. In figuring out how to get rid of him, I’ve realized what a sap I am. These were my first indicators. A) I think he is really cute, but even so, I know he can’t stay because he is destructive and carries disease, B) [...]
Today Georgi is officially as old as she thought she was last year. This makes it an ideal birthday because she gets to have a birthday while not feeling any older. I hope it is a great one, G.
I posed this question to koudelka last night, “What do you think is the most subjective word in the english language?” He answered, “me.” Good one. My own answer is “hope.” What is your answer?
To date, the best advice I have seen in solving end-user problems:
<patzer> consultant walks over to ask that we reboot a server because somebody told him that somebody else couldn’t login
<richlow> patzer: shoot all 3 of them.
<patzer> richlowe: …and he doesn’t know who
<richlowe> check the mail server logs, if it wasn’t verbally.
<cdavies_> and then shoot [...]
Yesterday I walked to run an errand and while walking I saw a woman about to drop a letter into a post box. She stopped when she saw me and asked, “Would you mail this letter for me?” The look on my face must have expressed the confusion I was experiencing due to [...]
As I have ranted about in the past, we drink far too little water. Here is an interesting tidbit on the effects of dehydration. It doesn’t mention that dehydration turns your blood to pudding, but I will.
Georgi visted last weekend. Not the one that just passed, but the one before that. I was going to write about it earlier, but I was waiting for photos to go along with it. Georgi is going to upload them for me, but given her busy schedule (she just took [...]

I am not sure how to describe this ornament. It is probably best you just look for yourself.
I added a tea based theme. I figured I should go with things I love, and tea is definitely one of those things. In case you wondered, the symbol on the left is the Kanji symbol for tea.
Also, in case you were wondering, this page is XHTML 1.0 Strict…it validates, beotches. Not [...]
I made my own despair, Inc. style demotivator for “Ambition.” Feel free to look if you like.
pbase.com is a photo hosting and photo sharing site. There are some great galleries there. Some of the photographers that display their work there are incredibly talented, and you don’t have to dig very far to find something amazing. Today I was looking around and found this artist named David Nitsche. [...]
