Well, maybe not found them yet, but they’ve decided to at least go looking for them. About damn time they got up the gumption to call out Dictator Dubya on his “it’s my war dammit go play with your own toys” mentality. Sorry, buddy, but Congress is the one that declares war, funds war, and […]

Our ISP, VistaPages, completely cratered last night just as I was about to post this. I couldn’t even access their websites, much less QD. Weird. Anyways, here it is again:
I’ve been on a roll with the miniatures lately. I painted for years when I was younger and then stopped for quite a while. […]

I’ve been enjoying Pandora lately and have discovered some great new songs. I highly recommend Brave New World, especially their album Groove Thing (link is to iTunes store). But don’t forget to also check out their song Winter Song, there’s a great remix on the other album available in iTunes (though I think it’s by […]

As it’s named in its native language, or Pan’s Labyrinth as it’s being marketed over. Vic and I saw this last weekend. The advertising for it at first made me think it was just an interesting child’s fairy tale type movie. It did after all have a girl in front of an old spooky tree […]

Had a bit of a humorous situation any geek will appreciate. I’m sitting here at work learning a new server. I’m going through a tutorial that tells me how to use the scripting language that acts as a client to the server and can do anything: start/stop applications, read and change application configuration. Cool.
So I […]

Well, I hauled out the model paints this weekend. I have a new building for the train set I want to paint and put together but I need a couple of new colors, so it has to wait. Instead, I began drybrushing another factory-type building I have that actually had pretty decent base colors on […]

Just how tentative can you get? Obama is preparing to file (hasn’t filed yet) paperwork to create a committee (hasn’t created it yet) to explore a bid (hasn’t committed to a bid yet) for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination (hasn’t been nominated yet) to be elected president (hasn’t been elected yet). Sorry, just for some […]

Wow. The DOT (Department of Transportation) impressed me. That doesn’t happen often. They have a very cool interactive website now for realtime traffic in the DFW area. You can even see average speeds on many major roads, along with accidents and lane closures.
 DFW Traffic Conditions

I used to pick that as my name in online forums, etc. but more often than not it was taken. Always had a bit of a sylvan/elven feel to it. Well this morning there were silver leaves all about! DFW had quite an ice storm blow in this weekend, so Ian and I huddled up […]

The article headline says it all. As much as I’m loathe to say it about the man who played “The Terminator”, I’m impressed with his ability to work with, and promote legislation from, both political parties. This is what we need to move forward in America. The opposite of this, sticking to your guns no […]
