(9:34:35 PM) Nick: You liked Jerry Falwell, right? I imagine you already saw news of his death? Anyhow, just spreading the good cheer.
(9:34:35 PM) Bill [AUTO-REPLY]: I’m not here right now

I hate to sound like a dick, but hallelujah.

Skate Rats

Posted by zhx on May 11th, 2007 filed in All, Photography, Skateboarding

Got a text from Mauro today asking me if I wanted to shoot some skating, so I headed up to the skatepark to meet him and his friend. They wanted to head to the Super 8 where there’s a little 3-stair rail they wanted to hit. My photos turned out a lot better than the [...]

GODDAMMIT!!!

It has now been two months and eight days since I ordered my Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye, and it’s STILL on backorder. I hate eBay with a passion but I found one on the site, new in packaging, going for $590 — exactly what I paid for mine on Adorama (excluding shipping). The auction only had [...]

The Dark Side of Conservatism

Posted by zhx on May 10th, 2007 filed in All, Religion/Politics

The Virginia Tech Massacre seems largely forgotten by the media. They blew their wad in a solid week of total over-saturation and have since moved on to the next big ratings booster.

I hate when I get so preachy; it’s so hypocritical of me — but I liked this excerpt from Atheist Universe. Overall I don’t think this book is incredible or profound in any way, but it’s an entertaining read. This is just the best analogy I’ve ever seen for the argument that the idea of [...]

Disinformation Station

Answers in Genesis has long been one of my favorite resources on the web. Well, when I need a good laugh, anyway. Unfortunately, things aren’t so funny when a small group of stupid people have the resources available to potentially spread their backwards beliefs to thousands of gullible people. Such is the case with Answer [...]

People Still Ride These Things?

Remember that one week like 8 years ago when those Razor scooters were totally cool? I discovered today that despite their unpopularity now, Razor still has a touring pro team. Here’s a hilarious video from some contest in Australia this year. Apparently in the scooting world, you’re not required to land your tricks to [...]

Nothing, Really

Posted by zhx on May 6th, 2007 filed in All, Computers

I came home this afternoon to an eerie silence. This always sends me into a panic because that means my computer is not running for one reason or another. Well, it must have just been a power outage because I fired it up, and it worked fine (aside from a fan speed message, which [...]

Fuck this Place

So what if it’s May and it’s been 80° all week? Doesn’t mean shit to Wyomin’! Time to kill off all those pesky blossoms!

EDIT:
Here’s a shot four hours later of one of my neighbor’s trees.
