...Is coming to San Diego. It just so happens that I plan on being in Balboa Park around 9-10am on the 20th (and yes, that really is a coincidence) and will quite likely end up buying a ticket. If there's anyone else who wishes to see the show, I might be convinced to pick up more than one. It looks like tickets will be anywhere from $20-$90 (based ( Read more... )

I keep seeing the word 'dumped' show up recently and it's starting to get to me. Yes, it's true that I initiated the separation.

voidmonster, I'm sure you'll appreciate this one: found it on the MAKE Blog:

What happens when you mix two Saber 40 aircraft fuselages, a fire engine, a castle turret, a 25' tall cupola and several 4' wide wrought-iron slinkies, and the creativity of CITY MUSEUM Creative Director Bob Cassilly and his crew? The result is MonstroCity, the most monumental, ( Read more... )

So I get home tonight and check my (snail) mail, as usual, and find something I was holly (that's a pun, not a typo) unprepared for. To put it in the proper context I should point out that just a few weeks ago I received, on the same day, a pamphlet from the Jehovah's Witnesses and a letter from The Last Gentile which wanted me to take up their ( Read more... )

duckflambe, this one's for you.
