Video Disproves Evolution!
I was on my favorite comedy site Godtube tonight and discovered what is quite possibly the best example I’ve ever seen of sound creationist logic.
Fish cannot breathe on land, therefore man was created by the Christian God.
I’ve been mulling it over in my head for hours now and can’t find a single fallacy in this [...]
Enlightening: The Monkeysphere
“We’re all members of varying species of hypocrite.”
Here’s a highly recommended read, on cracked.com of all places. A real eye-opener, for about 20 minutes, until your apathy sets back in. Do yourself a favor and check it out, if only for those 20 minutes of perspective.
The Plan™
I have tentatively scheduled a departure date of October 8th. Anybody that would like to have a beer with me before I leave has all of next week to do so. I could leave after my last day of work and be in Portland in time to catch Datarock live, but I’m not. So you [...]
Moving Woes or Why I Love My Bed
Who would have thought that the “Get your shit from point A to point B” industry was such a racket? My last day of work is Wednesday, and I won’t last long without an income. I’ll need to get out to Portland and employed as soon as possible so that I don’t completely drain my [...]
Cryonic/Cryogenic: Get it Straight
I don’t understand how it happens, but I can’t stand when an incorrect term becomes so widespread it becomes “correct”. Sometimes this stems from simple confusion with a more familiar word (antidote/anecdote being one that particularly drives me nuts), but most of the time it seems these mixups persist out of plain ignorance (the continued [...]
Buckethead: Acoustic Shards
This is such a great release. Imagine your bedroom is a low-fidelity recording studio and you own an acoustic guitar. And imagine your friend comes over to play it all the time while you roll tape. And imagine your friend is Buckethead. The result could very well be Acoustic Shards, an interesting collection of early [...]
New Arcade Stick
I just got my arcade stick in the mail today. It’s an XArcade two-player, and it’s a fucking tank. The thing weighs 15 pounds! I wanted a new arcade stick for MAME purposes, and X-Arcade’s single player stick is only $100 plus shipping. But they’re running a deal right now where the two player stick [...]
A Text Conversation
9:51PM From: Tim Eric!
9:53PM To: Tim Bill!
9:54PM From: Tim What?
9:54PM To: Tim Why did you text me eric!
9:56PM From: Tim Wrong eric! SORRY! apology accepted
They say that 90% of a message’s meaning is communicated and understood through body language, but I really don’t think much was lost in translation here; this wouldn’t have made any [...]
Responding to Various Rumors
Yes, my decision to move to Portland seemed to come out of nowhere. Honestly, it’s mostly because I embrace spontaneity and I haven’t really done anything spontaneous since…well, since my first long-term girlfriend. That’s basically it. I want something different, I was kinda thinking west coast in my head, an opportunity presented itself, and I [...]
New Power Supply
So three blades somehow managed to snap off my computer’s power supply’s fan while I slept. One of which managed to wedge itself between the PSU’s housing and the remaining blades, which burned the motor up and when I awoke, my computer’s case was about a zillion degrees. I purchased a new power supply today [...]
