I’ve been desiring of late some good, crunchy epic science fiction to read. A large, detailed world (or universe) with a lot of characters and plots. Anyone have any good suggestions? Here’s some of what I like:
*Alastair Reynolds is the latest I’ve enjoyed in the space opera subgenre
*William Gibson and other cyberpunk
*Vernor Vinge’s FIre Upon […]

Well, the cat’s out of the bag. Ian and I are finally going to tie the knot in June in Key West. We’re keeping it small and simple. When it comes to weddings, while I do want one, I’m no Charlotte! We’ve been tentatively planning it for quite a while, but we have a […]

The guy next to me who spouts weird phrases and such is at it again. He’s trying to tell someone on the phone that though a problem looks like one thing, it’s actually something entirely different:
“Well, usually when you have hoofbeats, you expect a horse, not a zebra. But what we have here is a […]

10 reasons Gay Marriage is wrong:

It makes my heart soar to finally hear someone in a position of authority uttering the words I’ve been dying to hear for six years now!
That said, I’m not a bloodthirsty liberal ready to impeach him for nothing. I’d prefer if he were out, but he should only be impeached if he broke the […]

Everybody’s got a d6 (six sided die for non-RPGers) hanging from their rearview mirror. But who’s got a couple of d20s? 20-sided dice to hang from your car mirror. Sweet.

I browsed Google Video this morning for lack of something better to do. This one is too funny, though I’m sure whoever owns Barney’s copyright won’t be happy.
It’s Barney the Dinosaur mashed up with 2pac.

Well, I’ve nearly made it through the first week back after the break. It was a four day week so that helped. And luckily I haven’t had much of people coming by and bugging me in the first five minutes I’m in the office. That’s one of my big pet peeves. I realize I get […]

Anyone else out there do Netflix? Let me know and we can add each other to our ‘Friends’ list and share suggestions. I really like their interface by the way. Good use of Ajax, DHTML, etc.
