  • Ikeaphobia

    I know, I know. Stop linking, Michael. Give us some original content. Oh, I will. As soon as I get home from work, a certain thing that has been unfinished shall be completed. Until then, you should read Adam Greenfield’s Ikeaphobia and its discontents over at v-2. Here’s a tasty bit-sized sample: You know what?…

  • Here in my car, I feel safest of all…

    I can lock all my door. It’s the only waytolive. Yeah, so we’ve been looking at getting a car loan and possibly financing a new used car. What a pleasant surprise that Mr. Wheaton linked to Boing Boing, which linked to This Fantastic Article on Edmunds.com. You need to read it: I could only answer…

  • White Stuff

    Weird. It’s really cold outside, 20 and dropping, and there’s all this white stuff falling. Can anyone give me a hand with this? It was like 55 degrees yesterday, so there’s no freaking way that it’s snow, is there? Anyway, I’m going to make some coffee, eat some Malt-o-meal toasted honey oats, and beat Prince…

  • Hypertext IF

    Casey linked to a very interesting, very fun hypertext piece on interactive fiction that she composed, I’m guessing, for an Interactive Narrative course. I do hope she doesn’t mind my linking to it. As a veteran MUSHer and, before that, a pretty avid IF player, I’ve always been amazed at the possibilities–and frustrations–of the medium.…

  • Destroyer of Cars

    “I mean, if you think about it,” I said, chuckling and grinning like an idiot, “We got a free car for the price of a coolant hose.” These were the words that tempted fate and destroyed a car. In five mintues, their speaker (me) would have a burnt-up husk of a vehicle with no working…

Most people think they know everythingthere is to know about Middle earth just bywatching the movies! HAH!! well keep up thegood work!

  • Geek Humor

    I just thought I’d mention Wil Wheaton’s blog site, which I frequent. It’s nice to know that the majestic geek survives and that our nerdy legacy shall live on. Here’s a blurb from his latest entry, entitled “see the world from shore to shore.” “So where should we start?” I said. My answer came in…

  • Good Versus Evil

    We’ll take a break from my current posts, which are detailing something I experienced just the other day whilst at work. Instead, we’ll focus on the fact that I have been ruined. I am broken. And I blame Bill Gates. You see, I was weaned on the sour milk of Microsoft’s sagging, dusty teat. My…

  • Linux

    My hard drive bit the big one yesterday, for the final time. I could have waited, ordered one online, and saved some money, but I was impatient and ended up going out and buying a new one at Intrex for about $80. Now I’ll never have to worry about HDD space. Miles convinced me to…

  • Snow!

    It’s all over. I got home from driving Natania to work, and it was a feat. North Carolina drivers are not the best on icy roads, and I think the city of Greensboro has two snowplows, maybe. Work should be interesting tonight. The cats are getting along well, though Luna’s poops are rather horrifying. She’s…
