Random BS, I went out and picked up the new Hold Steady (and the new Starflyer – more (much) on this later!) today. Got a deal on it for $8.50 used. The kicker, there’s a sticker on it that says: This CD is property of the record company and is licensed to the intended recipient [...]

Much of this stuff is late, as I’ve been making notes for the last week or so, but here goes. The whole Intel 80-core thing is amusing, just in the sense of – wtf are you making that announcement this early for? It’s like 5 years away. You don’t see TV or car companies saying [...]

There’s a few shots from our little driving excursion to Boise last weekend up at my flickr page: set linky. I’ll leave em as public for a while, but it will probably be private eventually until I get used to the flickr bit. Not sure if I want random strangers lookin me in the eye…. [...]

I picked this book up on a whim a few months ago when I was trolling around in the Hawthorne Powell’s, trying to find something interesting. I prefer to be in a bookstore with a specific idea of what I’m looking for…but sometimes you just run out of books and have no leads. So I [...]

So I’m blogging from Boise, so sue me. We decided to drive out here because…well, because we figure we might as well go to Idaho now while we’re leaving relatively close – because we sure won’t be back later! I thought it funny that the very first people we saw, not 3 miles into good [...]

Some dude’s blog I found linked somewhere has an interview up with a guy who writes about the financial side of the comic industry for a living. I found it interesting. Just in case you still believe(d) that those Diebold voting machines that have been causing so much drama lately were really “secure”: Go-go-gadget mini-bar [...]

Ahh, Portland, plenty of white trash here. Case in point. The front page news story was more “interesting” because it had photos of both of the involved parties. In case you missed the most interesting facts: 50+ ex husband of 51 year old nurse hires 59 year old creepy wierd santa dude who “cleans up” [...]

I found this quite amusing. You know, amusing in that way that makes you angry and sad at American politics. I wasn’t at all surprised though. I was wondering how long before something like this would finally make it (somewhat) public. This is mostly amusing. I agree with their quote of the week: “I didn’t [...]

Oh, I almost forgot – the new Family Guy episode reminded me how lame jokes about George Takei are (really, I’m surprised no one has sunk so low as to run around rhyming his name with “gay” yet). We watched the William Shatner roast on Comedy Central a while back, and boy the gay Sulu [...]

OK, first off: SERIOUSLY? Sure, the croc hunter might have been a great guy, but how could anyone be that into him? And like, if they were, how could they ever think that hurting animals would be a good thing? Well, aside from the occasional insertion of a finger into an animal anus that is. [...]
