Vic, Jon, Naji, Marcia and I got together this weekend for some GURPS down in Austin. This time we broke away from the traditional fantasy genre for a supernatural/horror modern day adventure I put together. It was fun, very different tackling a different time period and genre. Working out how guns work changed things significantly.
I […]

Oh, this is fair. Or, fucking elitist pricks. Ah, that’s better. So the GOP is willing to give hard working poor people an extra $ or so an hour (which amounts to about $100 a month after taxes wow!!!) only if Democrats appeal an inheritance tax cut for multimillion dollar estates. Do they not hear […]

Just read this tip on LifeHacker, and it really works well. And by works well I mean it picks up lots of nasty stuff out of my keyboard that I would rather not have known was there. But at least it’s gone now. You just put the sticky end of a post-it note down between […]

Oh, I don’t know, meaning? Connotation? Affordance? Ahh, but those are trivial things.
I came across a real gem today in the code at work. Now, developers are a geeky, quirky sort and name things all different ways. I don’t like to be a code nazi, so, hey, if it generally indicates what it does, great, […]

Saw Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man’s Chest this weekend and also watched one of my Netflix rentals, Stealth.
The Pirates sequel was fun. It was long and I think would have been better if it were shorter. I agree with most people who’ve seen it in saying I would have loved to see more […]

I’ve finally, finally finished scanning in the wedding pictures. It took forever! But it’s done. If you want a CD of them e-mail me and I’ll make you a copy. No promises on how long that will take!

Wired News: Lawyers Knock Bush Legal Tricks
I love it. Bush writes at the bottom of the bill when he signs it something like “but maybe only sometimes when I feel like it I’ll enforce this”. Ha! It’s beyond wrong and into the realm of the bizarre and hysterical. Too funny. And I just LOVED this […]

This is cool. Honda uses cheap, greener energy at night to make ice (when it’s cooler and thus easier to make ice) and then uses it during the day to cool off their plant.

This weekend we took in a showing of Strangers with Candy, the movie based on the series that aired on Comedy Central a few years back. Amy Sedaris, sister of the hilarious writer David Sedaris, plays Jerri Blank, a recovering alcholic and prostitute who is going back to high school. It’s basically an incredibly funny, […]

We’re going tubing on the Comal River this weekend! Yay! I’m looking forward to it. Good to get away. I’m getting the distinct impression people here at work are getting irritated with my attempts to engage in continuous improvement, asking questions about how we do things, why, and trying to start conversations on how […]
