The Man Who Shat a Plane
When I was younger, I had this copy of a Guiness (from about 5 years before I was born) that I loved thumbing through all the time. For whatever reason, I only remember two records from the book: The guy with the longest fingernails (because the picture grossed me out) and a guy that ate [...]
Successfully Modded my Xbox…
I know, I know, I’m wayyy late to the scene on this, but I’m excited as I’ve never actually modded any of my video game systems. It took hours of digging through tons of horribly written tutorials online, but I have successfully converted my Xbox (as in, not 360) into my HaxBox, a fucking sweet [...]
Bail out the Citizens!
I’ve seen this twice today, this stupid circulating email with some variation of “take the 85 billion used to bail out AIG and split it evenly among US citizens! Everybody gets $279,000 and the government gets $25 billion in taxes back! Everybody wins!”
I love how people just blindly go “OH SWEEEEET” and forward it to [...]
My VP Debate Non-Analysis
I’ve been looking forward to the VP debates for some time now, not so much out of interest but because Schadenfreude is a helluva drug. My GF and I started watching tonight, catching about 30 minutes before she left to go catch some anthropology lecture so she could, I dunno, learn somethin or somethin.
Despite her [...]
Give Her a Break, It’s a Tough Question
My consumption of political news in the past month has been reduced to “find out what stupid shit Palin said today.” I really, really did not think that the Republican party could come up with somebody more unfit to run the country — any country — than Bush, but they’ve truly outdone themselves this time. [...]
Great Success
I was pretty sure the title of this blog was going to be “How to Turn 300gbs of Lost Data into 600gbs of Lost Data” but the transplant worked; I switched the logic boards on the drives and it booted right up. Never have I been so moved by the Windows startup chime. I immediately [...]
My Computer, the Prankster
Hey, remember how back in March 2007 I bought a new hard drive to put my most important shit on? Well apparently if I had actually backed my data up onto it then, I wouldn’t have learned a lesson.
After months of non-use, I finally transported my computer over to my GF’s last night and on [...]
What Senator McCain Doesn’t Seem to Understand…
…is that you sound like a condescending prick when you say “what Senator Obama doesn’t seem to understand…” forty-five times in two hours.
Workartwork VI
I drew these at work with some fancy markers I bought. Drawing with markers is hard. Also, my bank was just seized by the government and sold to another bank.
Jane Doe and the Case of the Empty Inbox
I’m feeling very bloggy this evening.
I had mentioned in an earlier post about how much I struggle every day with hopeful online entrepreneurs. It’s like forty (or more) hours a week of failure… that’s a lot to handle. But the worst one yet has been bugging me for a week or so now and I [...]
