My First LOL…thing
Just created my first LOL-thing, definitely fits into the category of LOLTHULHU… I call it “LOLcrackern” (click for full size) :
More Harry Potter
I just finished re-reading the entire Harry Potter series (only the second time through… but considerably better than the first), and I noticed something: about halfway through the series, JK Rowling smoothly transfers the character development from a “Harry+Ron+Hermione” focus, to include many more characters, a large portion of which develop distinct, and lovable, […]
Some Updates
You may or may not have noticed (I don’t know who “you” are) that OneSwirl has been down recently. This was thanks to a botched server install, and a failure to fix their own problems, by MediaTemple. But we’re back up and running… for the official letter, see the official message.
I’ll no longer be posting […]
theWAREHOUSE Submission 2
Carl over at theWAREHOUSE didn’t like my submission. He said it violated the “rules” (who follows them?) about not photoshopping anything… so here’s a supposedly-legitimate replacement. Click for the lovely full-size version.
theWAREHOUSE Submission
There’s a comic I follow/like (”folike”, pronounced [pho-lyek]) that is having a contest of sorts (read the rules), and so I made a submission just now. I’d like to think it’s more in the true spirit of the comic, instead of me trying to be “cool” or “sexy”… Click for full-size.

Quote from a Book
This is from “After the Gold Rush” by Steve McConnell:
Project managers both love and fear “hero programmers” because these programmers are smart, temperamental, and sometimes a little self-righteous…
Never have I heard something that described me so perfectly, and it was written 10 years ago…
Why Coheed and Cambria Isn’t Emo
[this is in the same vein as “Why Slipknot Sucks”… someone asked me to say something about why Coheed and Cambria isn’t emo, and here it is]
“Reasons Why Coheed and Cambria Isn’t Emo”
(or, “I’d Slit The Throats of Babies For You, My Love”)
Let’s go with the most obvious first. Why aren’t they […]
“The Dark Knight”
Holy mother of all that is evil… “The Dark Knight” looks amazing.
I saw the first real trailer today (attempted to see ‘10,000 B.C.’ but left and got a refund), and I cannot even express how impressed I am. With a trailer. I’d link to it, but seeing it on YouTube or other low […]
Things I Find Amusing
Here’s another one of those sporadically posted lists of things I find intensely hilarious strewn across “the intorwebz”. Some of these have been hosted on temporary locations, so I’m going to put them up here on my own server. Oh, make sure you check the very last link… it’s the funniest out of all […]
