So while brushing my teeth a few minutes ago and listening to Anchorhead‘s Episode Shredisode IV, I had a thought. Nay, a revelation. We all remember those epic blue words that opened up Star Wars Ep. IV: “A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…”, right? Remember when Obi Wan was killed by… Continue reading Possibly the geekiest thought ever.

Oh, the irony!
Go figure, that on System Administrator Appreciation Day, a phone switch for Cox went out. Those sysadmins are having a bad day. Sorry guys. Better luck next year. And to add insult to injury, their tech support / business services line is busy. Either it got hit by the downed switch too, or is inundated… Continue reading Oh, the irony!
Be bold, I command you!
Well, you can’t get what you want if you don’t ask. That being said, I want The Amazing Screw-On Head. From Scifi.com: In this hilarious send-up of Lovecraftian horror and steampunk adventure, President Abraham Lincoln’s top spy is a bodyless head known only as Screw-On Head. When arch-fiend Emperor Zombie steals an artifact that will… Continue reading Be bold, I command you!
Pax Germana?
The other weekend, sitting in the window at Molly’s, some friends of mine and I were confronted with an appropriately late Bastille Day parade. I only took one picture, that of a man in a some-what tie-dyed and painted white labcoat. Something about it caught my eye, and I beckoned him over to take a… Continue reading Pax Germana?

There is a new Holiday: Landismas! Go out and Celebrate!
Religious Experience
I feel like Paul on the road to Damascus. Yesterday, My Boy Floyd™ went from leading the tour to dropping to 11th place at over 8 minutes back. It was truly heartbreaking. It looked to be over for my favorite Mennonite. Now? Floyd summoned his inner Lancaster Power and is back at third place, 12… Continue reading Religious Experience
*tap* Is this thing on?
Wow, it’s been a coupla weeks since I’ve posted anyting. Crazy. I’ve had alot to say, alot of stories, and alot of pictures. But truth be told kids, I’m tired. I’d start to type something, or even think about writing something, and then I just wouldn’t feel like it. I’m pretty worn out. Work has… Continue reading *tap* Is this thing on?
damn damn damn
So, it would appear that this year’s two most likely men to win the Tour de France have been pulled by their teams for doping allegations. So, Jan Ullrich got pulled from T-Mobile first, leaving my boy Ivan Basso. Without the threat of Jan, Basso would be all-but-guaranteed a victory. Well, CSC pulled Basso. There… Continue reading damn damn damn
Quick things
It’s been four months now, but I finally have internet access at home again! Woo! I tied a bowtie tonight! Tomorrow, in Harahan, my friends Tanya and Andrew are getting married. I got a bonus today (would prefer a raise, but I’ll take it). The three week ride known as the Tour de France begins… Continue reading Quick things
When it rains, it pours.
So, I spent about two hours today at work doing damage control. It started raining in my office. Not _my_ office, but _the_ office. While I’m up on the 3rd and 4th floors trying to determine what pipe blew up, I get a frantic call. The water is spreading on our floor. Our PBX (phone… Continue reading When it rains, it pours.
