Time has been going very sloowwwwly for me lately. Or so I thought. But then I looked at the date of my last entry and my mind is officially boggled - August 3rd?? Was it really that long ago? Is August really more than half over already? This morning there was a distinct chill in the air as I was leaving for work, signaling the proximity of Fall. I love Fall. I love the chill in the air -

You know what? I really have nothing to say. My life is uber boring right now. Unless you want to hear about how crappy the traffic was this morning. Or how I really need a haircut. Or how funny my fat cat looks when he tries to jump up onto the couch - slippery wood floors are hell on a fat cat's equilibrium. I suppose I could talk about a movie or something. I saw Wedding Crashers the

I have an affinity for Google Image Search. So I GISed "sexy phlegm" of course. Alas, nothing came up... but here's what popped up for "sexy mucus":Just what are they doing to that poor elephant?? It came from this page of this site. Sexy elephant protein indeed.I want to thank everyone for their input on the newest London news. I read a good Op-Ed in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago

I haven't been able to surf the internet for the past 10 days or so because I couldn't even focus on the screen. I got a nasty case of bronchitis from someone at work - damn them - which was most likely enhanced by my lack of nutrients, as I always seem to skip meals and forget to take my vitamins. I have been suffering very horrific dizzy spells and coughing fits. Not only could I not focus

To continue on the thread from my last post, How to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Internet. What he says about your age when something changes or is invented having a huge effect on how you accept it is so true. There are a few older people who have really embraced new technologies, not just because they were forced to because of their jobs, but because they truly love it (my father being

After receiving a short but thought-provoking question in the comments of my last post, I decided to copy and paste my response (deleting it in the process because there's no need to waste space saying the same thing in two places). I decided on this course of action mostly just because I don't have anything else to say. I don't have any desire to talk about the bombings in London. Although my

Just enjoyed a nice long weekend. Unfortunately it was packed to the gills full of obligations and responsibilities that I could not shirk in order to blog. But I do find that "the blog" is always at the back of my mind during daily activities. And then I see something cool, or hear an interesting conversation, or have an exciting thought and decide, hey, I should write about that! But I

I'm starting out with this video because I love it a lot. I think the moral of the story is just to let your large hairy neighbor sing in the shower without giving him a hard time or else your cat will wind up dead? I'm not exactly sure, but that doesn't stop it from being fun. And it reminds me of Les Triplettes de Belleville, which, if your movie is going to have to remind people of

I've been having too much fun over the past few days, and my poor blog has suffered for it. But I'm back, and with a vengeance. I have been tagged, as you may recall from my last entry, by a book meme by Cate, so I will make a sorry attempt at continuing the meme in this post. Alas, I have also been tagged by a stress-lowering list meme by Kevin. So I shall make an attempt at that one as

So much to do - so little time, so little sleep. I often wonder how someone such as Magazine Man - an editor at a Big Magazine with a wife and two kids - has time to write such awesome blog entries. What is your secret, MM? So I won a t-shirt from Cate over at my Mom dated Spike by correctly guessing that the number in her head was "42". We must have the same taste in books. Speaking of

Have you ever spent all day on a Saturday in various states of kneeling and squatting while attempting to assemble two 10-foot, three-dimensional, corrugated paper cacti in the heat of the So Cal sun (no, there weren't any trees around)? Well, let me be the first to tell you that you haven't lived until you've done so. Yes, that's what I spent 9 hours doing on my Saturday. I did so many squats

Do you ever get that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you've written something great only to realize that you've somehow lost it in the netherworld of the internets? I wrote an awesome post this weekend, saved as a draft to post when I got back from Houston (which, BTW, was INCREDIBLY hot and humid... me, being used to So Cal weather now, had completely forgotten how it feels to

Now is the time to replace my last entry with a new one. I think it was making some people uncomfortable :) So, what's on the menu today? Let me check to see what interesting links and/or pictures I have piling up...Hold up, stop the presses! News from the Apple front. Apple is going to start installing Intel processors into their computers? Why exactly? Maybe in order to make a really

Sometimes I check my blog stats, just for shits and giggles (I use Sitemeter, which is pretty much useless because most visitors just come up as "unknown" - but it's free, so I can't really complain). I'm not too anal about it - I only check a couple of times a week, mainly to see how people are finding me. Not that very many people are (which is probably a good thing), but it's still a fun way

Today was a good day. As I was wading through the mountainous pile of spam messages in my Hotmail inbox this afternoon, I came across one piece of mail that was NOT SPAM - joy of joys! What was it, you ask? It was my monthly Trout Fishing in America newsletter. And just what in all tarnation is Trout Fishing in America, you ask? Some sort of club for... well... for trout fishing aficionados?

I was skimming the New York Times the other day and stopped to read a little bit about the conflict in the Darfur region - I won't link to the exact Op-Ed piece because the stupid NYT requires membership to read, which is really annoying if you aren't a member; suffice it to say that it was a rant geared towards the US government and how Bush has not mentioned the word "Darfur" in 141 days (oh

Wow, where did THAT weekend go? I think I lost a few hours, has it really been 3 days?? Sometimes I could swear that I have glimpsed Enlightenment, only to be rudely brought back to "the real world" again by coming to the realization that I have completely wasted three whole days of my life. You know, if I was a monk in Tibet and had no need to worry about money or having a job or taking care

So I was reading Metafilter as usual today, and really enjoyed this post and the resulting discussion. In fact, I spent more time than usual on MeFi, and hopefully the Boss will not find out - Memorial Day weekend starts this afternoon, and they want me to concentrate on work - that's a funny joke.Anyway, I wanted to dedicate an entire post to my fellow MeFite cleardawn's response to goatdog's

I saw Revenge of the Sith for a second time on Saturday. I have heard from others that they liked it even better upon second viewing. But I didn't. I noticed the passage of time much more on this trip to the theater, although that is most likely because the guy sitting next to me kept pulling out his cell phone to check the clock every few minutes, thereby completely removing me from the the

... barely. I would not call Revenge of the Sith a strike, but it was definitely not a home-run. At most it was a base hit. But it honestly felt more like a ball. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. But it was not the Star Wars that I have known and loved for 25 years. It's a lot closer than The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones though, that's for sure, which is one thing it has

What's up with this "finger found in food" epidemic that's sweeping the nation? Here's another story about a digit found in some frozen custard. Side note: is that like ice cream? No seriously, what makes frozen custard different from, say, frozen yogurt, or ice cream even? Is it another word for the same thing? Or is is something new entirely?? I'm confused.

So, the next Harry Potter movie will be "The Goblet of Fire" and the teaser was posted this weekend here. We've established that I'm a geek and like geeky things, so it's no surprise that I'm really excited about this one. The book is awesome, and I'm expecting great things now that the actors have aged and are growing into their roles. There's a lot of Beatles hair styles in the teaser - is

An addendum to my last post - I found this awesome new blog/information site called Lifehacker, along with all their sister sites, like Gizmodo and Defamer. Yay! I just absolutely love the term "Lifehack" and all it implies. I also love"Folksonomy" - I love the organicness of the word and what it stands for (I'm a hippy at heart - a geeky, technophile, but still a hippy). For more on

Since I'm on the internet a lot, I see most popular links/sites before a lot of other people. And then, a month later, someone who is sooooo 15 minutes ago sends me the link again, thinking they are so cool and hip.

It's late, I'm tired, and I've been staring at a computer screen for entirely too long. So what do we have tonight? - a big bunch of nothing. And it's all-you-can-eat night, so dig in.I shall start with a couple of follow-ups to prior stories. In my last entry I talked about Holy Mary's and Holy Zira's - well here's a new one.

The story of the LA Star Wars Line has been CRAZY popular on the 'net lately. My favorite blog entry thus far has got to be Jessica Stover's "feeding the nerds" entry. In a way it makes me sick though - how come I can't be as clever (and beautiful and talented and badass... I'll stop now before I kill myself) as she is?? It's just not fair. But it sure is funny as shit to read - as well as

I admit it. I have an addictive personality, and Buffy is just not good for me... not good at all. Yes, I've been at it again. Somebody take these DVDs away from me. No, I don't really mean that.

Last Friday, Sideshow Collectibles hosted a live web chat featuring the actor Lance Henriksen who apparently is an amazingly cool guy. Unfortunately I was out of reach of a computer at the time, so I missed it.

So instead of writing last night I watched half of Buffy: Season 2. Until 2 AM. Oh well. I enjoyed myself. Seasons 2 & 3 are the best. I just can't seem to get enough of Angel :) And on that note, I should probably move on before I get completely sidetracked and start drooling all over my keyboard (so much for getting any work done today *slurp*)...Speaking of procrastination, I came across

Apparently all kinds of crap happens when I'm away from internet access for an April Fool's weekend - Thursday's post about the Obi-wan link at Sideshow turned out to be an April Fool's joke (but never fear, I will still be trying more dates and product names to hopefully find some REAL preview pages of un-announced product - now that my "Sideshow URL organization theory" has proven correct -

Oh, yeah... my theory has proven correct!!!! (For those of you that don't know, here's the theory to which I am referring). I'm finally proven right about something - I found this hidden Obi-wan preview at the Sideshow site just now - booyakasha!! The funny thing is, I had tried this date before, as it was the next logical choice of Fridays, and nothing came up - they must have JUST made it

This story speaks for itself. It's amazing.How do you hide your dirty toilet plunger? You obscure it from view (whilst simultaneously drawing even more attention to it) under a Toilet Tree of course (caution: NSFE - Not Safe For Ears). Personally, I am relieved that the leaves are made out of recycled plastic. Don't you just love websites that:a) Talk to you in a Midwestern accentb) Are

How completely insane do you have to be to believe this crap? I mean seriously. Insane. The men in white coats are coming with your jacket to take you away now - you'll be safe with them, I promise. I'm embarrassed to admit to exactly how long I spent playing with this incredibly annoying and totally addicting little piece of flash genius. Hint: guard your vowels with your life.Welcome to the

Interlude (and a little bit of self-love)(I just have to get this out, you know? I've finally figured something out on my own.)As you know, I'm an HTML newbie, and once I start learning something, I quickly become obsessed and convince myself that I NEED to know everything about the topic in question. In order to help with my "real-world learning" of HTML, I've spent the last couple of weeks

I get pretty bored on Sundays. It's a slow day, filled with the impending arrival of Monday. I should probably go outside or do something productive, but instead I have chosen to watch silly movies that get ignored by 99.99% of the population. You know, those movies you often see at the video store and wonder how in the hell they ever got made? Each film will carry an FSB rating (max = 5 FSBs

Didn't post yesterday, sorry. I won't give a bullshit excuse; I'm just lazy sometimes. I have more links than usual to make up for it today.Follow up to Thursday's appetizing finger story: Search Continues in Wendy's Finger Case. Gotta love it when there are actual pictures of said finger. Mmmm-mmmm, I've got the cravin' for some chili...UPDATE: So, I posted that picture of the girl in the

I just love this headline: Woman Eating Chili Bites Into Human Finger. Come on girl, quit your whining; it's not like you actually digested the finger. In other news, Wendy's announces new "Finger Lickin' Good" chicken nuggets with special secret ingredient.What I want to know is how the they propose remembering all the steps in this article about memory loss. Hold on - what was Step 6 again??

As I've already pointed out, I'm brand-spankin' new to the wonderful world of blogging (and all the "blog" words that go with it - blogrolling, blogstorm, blogosphere, blogswarm, blogdex, bloggerati - okay people, we're getting a teensy bit carried away here dontcha think? - anyway you get my drift), So, as a n00b, imagine my delight at finding (and revelling in) Bloglines.

This article is absolutely horrible. And it must have been a pretty popular site because it came up on MSNBC's most-clicked list (and yes, I do realize that I just made it even more popular by linking to it - too damn bad). I just cannot believe someone took the time to ponder who looks better and who looks worse on HDTV AND THEN to write up a list. Why why why does it matter so god-damned

Most of them are really dumb, but I had to post this Monty Python one. It brings back fun memories of high school and the good old Ministry of Silly Walks:Plus, for an EW quiz, it's fairly difficult for someone who hasn't really watched any MP stuff since college (I only got 6 correct - and I call myself a fan - I'm really just a poser). I don't really have anything else to say, and I have a

I cannot believe that I forgot to mention The Simpsons as one of my favorite TV shows, although it has recently been lacking - I suppose after 16 seasons it's pretty damn hard to keep up the level of wit that some of the earlier episodes achieved effortlessly. Groening should have quit while he was ahead, IMO. (For more along that train of thought, visit this site.) At least I have the DVDs to

I've had a favorite saying for a while now - "shit balls of fire" (ie: "Goodness, gracious, shit balls of fire!") - I'm not exactly sure from whence it came, but that's not really the point, now is it? I enjoy saying it, and that's enough for me. Little did I know that flaming shit balls (now known as "FSBs") really do exist. Wow. I'm speechless. Anybody else out there in the ether have an

So, let me just start off by saying that I hardly know any HTML coding. My spiffy new trick (and the extent of my knowledge to-date) is coding a hyperlink to pop-up using a new window... shazam!! (oooowwww, my eyes... That color is horrible - sorry about that.) Whoever said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" quite obviously didn't know what he was talking about.Speaking of dogs - a friend

So, here I am - a Blogging newbie. After quite a few years of reading about blogs and wishing I could do that, I have been inspired by Tony Pierce's 2005 Bloggie award-winning article. My plan for this blog is to provide links to interesting stuff that one doesn't normally run into on an every-day basis. Much along the lines of Fark or Metafilter but with different links and a little more
