I was raised a Catholic. Sort of. My family wasn’t particularly religious, although I did go to Catholic schools until the fourth grade. After that, I moved to the US, went to public school, and attended Baptist churches for a while where I was told that the Catholic church worshiped Mary over Jesus, and that it was the seat of …
Why Can’t I Come Up with Any Cool Contests Like That?
All my life I’ve tried to create revelry and camaraderie by putting together contests where people could participate and compete in. I’ve seen others do this and have amazing success at it. But I… well… queue the violin:
Video. Kitten. Laptop. Need I Say More? (OK, Cute and Funny)
Behold, the power of the Internet! Two-hundred thousand years of human evolution and technological revolution, all so we can laugh at a kitten going buck-wild on a laptop.
Le Linkage #14: The Humans in Technology Edition
Alright, folks: time for another edition of Le Linkage, the incidental series chronicling some of the more interesting pages I find in my stumbles through the Web. Today’s episode features stories about Nigerian scammers, anthropology, human enhancement, science fiction, some humor, and of course, another simple online game. Enjoy.
Hiroshima: What Was it Like?
This is a follow up to a previous post about the matter. Probably the most studied war today, World War II still holds us in fascination over the immensity of the odds at stake, the fairy tale like themes of good versus evil, and as an example of the lengths we will go to in order to win at war, …
Futurama as Anime
I just thought this was incredibly cool: a guy decided to do a draw up showing what Futurama may have looked like as an anime. Click the image for the full size one. Aside from the complete lack of tentacles, short skirted uniforms showing off white panties, mecha [Edit: D’oh! Forgot, Bender and Tinny Tim.], and the absurdly large breasts, …
Odds and Ends: Life, Rebooted
The title doesn’t really mean anything. I haven’t rebooted my life, though I have rebooted my eating patterns. (It comforts me little to know that if I were a caveman I would have a genetic advantage over my skinnier counterparts.) “Life, Rebooted” sounds kind of cool, though, in a “oh hey, Windows crashed again!” sort of way. Anyway, here are …
Free Cold Stone Ice Cream
Expires on January 31, 2007. Otherwise, have at it. If you haven’t had Cold Stone ice cream, do yourself a favor and try it out, then use this to pick up some for someone special. You can print it out without any of the extra Gnorb.NET stuff here
Le Linkage #11
Ok, so the election has passed and I can now get back to regular blogging, right? Actually, the election’s been over for a while and I’ve just needed a break from real blogging (as if I’ve ever actually done any of that before). At any rate, it’s (about darn) time for another episode of Le Linkage! Today’s episode features all …
Quadruple Bypass… Burger?
I think I’m going to puke. What a whopper! This towering 8,000-calorie beefburger’s certainly not for the faint-hearted. It has four slabs of beef weighing 2lbs, three cheese layers, four bacon rashers, lettuce and tomato. The Heart Attack Grill in Tempe, Arizona, has wheelchairs to cart off belly-busted customers who tackle the Quadruple Bypass Burger. Also on the menu is …
