I hope dreams don’t come true, part 1

I never have nightmares. Well, there was this one nightmare I used to have; it’s such a common one that I believe that Morpheus carries a big sack of them on his nightly rounds, and orders them in bulk. I’m talking about the Falling dream. I think most people have this dream, or nightmare, or [...]

The Weather Up There

I moved away from Michigan almost five years ago, and it’s been a great experience seeing a new state and city every couple years. I went from Maryland to Virginia to North Carolina, changing jobs–hauling my tons of crap. Having lived in Detroit and the Downriver area, I didn’t have constant access to the more [...]

Sam and Max

New Sam and Max cartoon for all of you fans out there…

Personal Update

Just to update the one or two of you that may read the site (the spambots far outnumber you, unfortunately). Recently we’ve had guests in from out of town, and my wife retired from the Air Force (Jan 27th 2006) so I’ve been a bit proccupied away from some of my more leisurely pursuits, including [...]

PETA: hypocritical, violent, insulting

Here is a link to a Google Video of an episode of Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit,” illustrating how full of shit PETA is. Some great facts in the video, including… PETA euthanizes over 70% of the animals it takes in to its shelters. PETA (a tax-exempt entity) gave corporate funds in the form of support [...]

Some cool links for today

I recently sold my Zaurus 6000L so that I could justify purchasing a Nokia 770. While browsing the Nokia 770 Maemo application wishlist I happened to see… …a classic Commodore 64 game: The Sword of Fargoal! Available for download at that link is a modern version of Sword of Fargoal which I just played for [...]

How do you like me now?

Ok, I guess I’m done with the major changes to the site for now.  I am not truly happy with it, but I suspect I never will be, unless I spend all kinds of time to design something totally unique and beautiful and artistic and moving in syntactically correct XHTML with no javascript or redundant [...]
