From the Seattle PI

All I can say after the historically inept defensive performance that cost the Huskies several games, it's about fracking time for a change.

Another relevant bit of info- tonight, the Huskies' Men's BBall team beat Oregon 76-60- kind of pathetic when your basketball team does better defensively than your football team.

While I was scrolling through my Tumblr dash, I found a post of a YouTube video, where somebody found a creative use for a bunch of obsolete computer parts they had lying around, & with the help of a program converted some 3.5" floppy drives into musical instruments, something several people are doing & putting up on youtube.

The first sample of ( Read more... )

Something I've noticed is that I've posted something every Wednesday this month, and might as well keep that up one more time, so once again, it's time to post a photograph.  This one's a new subject for my journal, old warships.  A few years ago, I was riding the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle, and while waiting for departure, I was able to get ( Read more... )

So, while going through my assorted feeds, I came across a couple stories about Glee that cracked me up, as it showed how the media's recognizing how badly RIB are screwing things up.

First up- Newsweek listed Glee as one of 2011's 'Fails' with this to say:

Endless gimmicks and guest stars couldn’t convince Glee fans to stick around. The once-hot ( Read more... )

So, as it's Wednesday, I decided to post some more of my pic collection, and decided to go for a change of subject, this time to airplanes.  Therefore, today's entry is a rather rare vintage warbird, the Collings Foundation's TP-51C (a very rare 2-seat version of the early 'razorback' versions of the Mustang, primarily used as an operational ( Read more... )

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: 

In a letter to his supporters, a Republican state senator from eastern Washington hoping to challenge Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) in the 2012 elections alleged that Sen. Cantwell is unqualified to have or voice an opinion on the availability of Plan B emergency contraception (Cantwell recently signed a letter ( Read more... )

Since it's Friday, I figured that I should post another picture, and this time up, it's of another Washington State Ferry, the Wenatchee, also taken while she was departing on the Seattle-Bainbridge Island run, also taken in February, 2009.

So, I finally got myself a Tumblr- doesn't really serve any particular purpose of mine, it's just that doing so makes it easier for me to keep track of stuff that pops up there, while allowing me to repost stuff over there that interests me without the trouble of having to bring it over here & link.  I'll occasionally post a few things of my own as ( Read more... )

This is something I've been meaning to post for the last couple days, but while I was watching last week's episode of Glee (3.08, Hold On To Sixteen), there was something that was said about the Puck/Shelby relationship that was inaccurate from the perspective of criminal law, and as a practicing attorney, that is something that I cannot let go ( Read more... )

The former Washington State Ferry Kalakala, the distinctive art-deco ferryboat that graced Puget Sound from 1935 until 1967  is looking for a new owner. This piece of history can be yours for the low price of just $1, but some conditions & restrictions apply.  However, the old girl is a tad rough around the edges, due to spending over 30 years as a ( Read more... )
