…you might want to read this. Printer friendly version here, if you like to actually print things. Now, none of this is “new” info – it’s all been available online for a long period of time, but it’s handy to have it all coalesced here into one easy on the eyes place.  It was even [...]

Young X-Men 7

| October 15, 2008

was the best issue of the title to date despite the ugliness of the pencils, and convinced me to stick with it for a while.  I understand that the first 6 issues were all set up but MAN were they tedious/bordering on silly/predictable/etc. I really hope they don’t get rid of Dust; she’s one of [...]

Astonishing X-Men 27

| October 15, 2008

was pretty good, although I found Bianchi’s pencils less impressive than before – figures seemed more..gaunt/gutteral, something like that I guess. Except for the bit about drilling in how common ghost boxes are, the story was pretty good. I love the “Chinese X-Men” thing, and find it pretty sad/funny in the sense that they all [...]

Heroes season 3

| October 15, 2008

is actually pretty decent.  I’m genuinely surprised. It’s like someone grabbed that big ‘ole SUCK meter that was cranked up to 7 for most of last season and turned it way down, broke the dial, then went into negatives. So it’s at about a -6 suck right now, which translates to pretty decent. I’m not [...]

sewer fun

| October 12, 2008

So one of the joys of old houses is (obviously) sewers!! When we bought this one, the inspectors found a problem with the main sewer line – ratholes and the like (Portland is evidently overrun with sewer rats).  So the sellers paid for the repair of course BUT we had to wait potentially 6 months [...]

D3 info coming out of Blizzcon

| October 11, 2008

Sooo yeah, more important than politics, or war, or feeding the hungry – its Diablo 3! OK, well, it’s close anyway… So they announced the 3rd class (Wizard), which is very cool.  This site has skill trees up. And skill customization via runes (grainy video here), which is potentially very exciting. And two things I’m [...]

2 pictures from my phone

| October 8, 2008

The first: I saw this dude (who had rather creepy posture) while I was waiting for the bus the other day.  I didn’t get a chance to see his sign – I really wish I had.  I wonder if it says something like “Need $$: lost/stolen bike!”  Oh, and don’t forget the “God bless!” at [...]

ewwwwwww

wwwwwwwwwwwwww. ewwwwwwwww. [Note: Link is not offensive, but is very ....something.  It makes me quesy at least.  Maybe I just have a weak stomach?]

early October links

| October 7, 2008

Andrew Sullivan on Palin & transparency.  Here’s what I didn’t know – when she was running for the Mayoral office in Wasilla, she demanded that her opponent provide proof of his wedding since his wife was still using her maiden name.  The amusing thing is that she refuses to provide proof of her son Trig’s [...]
