As Roger Miller Might Say

I wish I had your good luck charm, and you had a do-wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do wacka-do.

Eschatology

Friday, April 8th, 2005

For some reason, I've always been fascinated with end-of-the-world scenarios. Books like "The Stand," or "Lucifer's Hammer," and movies like "Deep Impact," "Armageddon," or even "The Day After Tomorrow," are immensely enjoyable. Even the thought of the Yellowstone Supervolcano corking off holds a morbid fascination for me. There's also ...

If you are looking for Web Design and Development services, I know where you can find a good firm: Brag Design - Web Development, Web Design, and Webmaster for less

I Don’t Know Which is Worse

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

That someone would steal the car, or that they dumped a '55 Bel-Air into the river. Seems to me that trashing a '55 Bel-Air is a hanging offense.

Give ‘Em The Finger

Thursday, March 24th, 2005

Anybody wanna bet that this hurts sales? Hey! It's Soylent Chili! [UPDATE: 3/25 0459]:A video report containing actual pictures of the actual finger can be found here. (Or here for dial-up users.)

Nightmare Fodder

Is it just me, or does that new Burger King commercial with Hootie (or is it the Blowfish?) give you the creeps?

If. . .

. . . there's a subject more exciting than job order costing, I can't imagine what it would be.

What He Said

R. Alex hits on something I've had rattling around in my brain for quite a while now, but couldn't get it into words. Common Humanity and Common Humanity Lost.

Back, and Some Mini-Reviews

Monday, January 24th, 2005

You've probably been wondering what I've been up to on my hiatus. Or maybe not. The short answer is: not much, other than life-type stuff. Couple that with a pretty good case of the blahgs, and voila, no content! We did watch a few movies, though, which is pretty rare ...

More Coolness

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

I have to admit, I really like the new Mustang commercial with Steve McQueen in it. Very cool. Oh, and also this. (Long download alert for dial-up folks.) (Citröen ad from Michael King.)

The Zoomquilt

It's hard to explain, but very cool to watch. Check it out. (H/T: James Rummel.)

What Won’t They Think of Next

Friday, November 26th, 2004

Every time I think I've seen it all, along comes something new. It's like someone had some very wrong thoughts about those teeth-whitening things. I'm very disturbed by this. Very disturbed. On the bright side, it wasn't dinnertime when I saw the ad for this product.

They Could Be The Real Deal This Year

Monday, November 8th, 2004

It's been a long dry spell for us Steelers fans. After last year's dismal performance, I was only hoping to get back up to .500 this year. Look out, though, the Steelers have knocked off the last two unbeaten teams, one right after the other. They didn't just win, either, they ...

A Favorite Passage

Sunday, November 7th, 2004

From The Waste Land, by T.S. Eliot.                                            Son of man, You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water. Only There is shadow under ...
