That's me, always making nice with the neighbors.
I get home from my hike and head outside with some WD-40 to clean the knives and tools I'd used. My new neighbor steps out of their car, and to be friendly I smile and wave. At least that's what I meant to do. What really happened is I grinned, stared at, and waved a knife at them. *facepalm* -
Elec-tri-city shoots from my finger.... NAILS!
Home Movies permeates every part of life, at least it seems I'm never more than two degrees from a Home Movies reference ( Read more... ) -
Activity report
So, what's been shakin? A good deal actually. Let's get the big one out of the way: I bought one of my dream vehicles, and from it's prime era to boot. A 1975 International Harvester Scout II. The last owner has had it since 78, and he loved that truck, but put it through a lot. That strong American v8 and v. low gears come together to make a ( Read more... ) -
Huh, this IS who we are.
So, I was being a libertarian nut job today, as is my wont, and was watching some videos on the origin and current state of public education when I came across this.
It took me a second, but I recognized the music. I bet most of the folks I know will, too. That's right - It's from Millennium. I think there may be some connection between that ( Read more... ) -

You should always leave comments in your code. Not only are they helpful when you have to work on it later, old comments can also brighten your day. I came across this one in a try{} today.
//don't do a damned thing, you just have to include a catch.

"Do an eye roll..."
Fish and I went to dinner on the south-west side of town today. He decided to walk back, and the rest of the folks acted like it was the craziest damn thing they'd ever heard ( Read more... ) -
Ladies...
I had a bowling sneeze last night. You know the kind of sneeze I'm talking about, it's been burning in your nose for a while and then *achoo* "Oh, thank God!"
I could feel there were good games just clawing to get out, but I was bowling below average. My bowling companions cut out at 9pm, but I stuck around for 7 more games, those games came in 11 ( Read more... ) -
Recap
I know it's late, but I sat down to reminisce on 2011 and found that to get it all out I had to provide a much broader context. For me I'll put 2011 in the Win column, but there were times I wasn't so sure.
( I guess I had a lot more to spit-out than I thought. ) -
...And now back to my DS9 marathon
Since movies aren't generally good enough to watch until you're well and truly bored my reviews tend to be ~18 months behind schedule. Today I noticed Tron: Legacy had dropped into my Netflix Instant queue.
It is a fine movie in it's own right, action packed, gorgeous, and refreshingly clean. As a bonus it was even more stylistically antiseptic than ( Read more... ) -
Proper Protocol
I was nearly sideswiped and t-boned twice on the drive into work today within 1 block of 10th St & Pete Ellis Dr. That is both ridiculous, and not uncommon. Every driver in Monroe county should be equipped with a euthanizing collar, which also includes an accelerometer and a transceiver. If you fire-off enough surrounding peoples' accelerometers ( Read more... )
