Waterboarding

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

If you've ever wondered what waterboarding is, you can have a look. Is it torture? Me, I'm not so sure. To me, any experience where you can sit up straight at the end and say, "Wow. That sucked," doesn't strike me as something that I would consider torture. Not that I'm ...

Ping?

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Pong. Sorry, old nerd joke there. An old IRC joke, at any rate. Anyway, I'm still around, more or less. Been busy, and nursing my semi-annual blog burnout. (Or maybe it's up to quarterly now.) I've got some stuff in my "Draft Folder" that I doubt I'll ever get around ...
