IF YOU LIKE THIS page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE
It has to be good... half the title is typed in freaking ALL CAPS for crap's sake.
nimbus.
I think that, if a kid is good, he should get a cloud lamp in his room. If he's bad, he gets the same lamp, but painted up to look like a giant floating turd. Because nothing scares a kid more than giant floating turds.
Legendary radio DJ John Peel dies
This was the guy who introduced me to bearsuit. Damn, I sure will miss the crazy old coot.
Weekend roundup...
In case anyone is wondering, the score is Squirrels: 3, me: 1, bow and arrow made for right-handed people but shot by me: 1. My left arm: -1, Up In Your Kool-aid: -2, The Crushinators: 2.
It's been a good first half.
Concrete sound mirrors.
A visit to Dungeness turns up some awesome old sound mirrors made to listen for planes during WWII. Sweet.

Only eight more days until this crap is over...
8 more days. Then I won't have to see Trekkies for anything, except for dirty pics of O'hura.

How many times are you going to arrest my client?
Seven.
Man, I'd be a totally sweet writer for Law & Order.
I got me a plan.
So, over at After Life telegrams, for five bucks a word you can have a terminally ill person pass on message on to a fellow deceased. I'm going to start a business where, for only twenty bucks more, they will tell them the message, then shove them.
Sweet External Drive deal...
Iomega 160gb external... 90 bucks thanks to a 40 dollar rebate.
Puh-chaw!
Operation Clean Teeth...
Get your free sample of Reach Daily Flosser right here. I love this little doo-hickey. All the floss with half the fuss.
LED Lights now for the bathroom
Where they really need to put the lights is at the bottom. Then I'll have a target at night.

Japanese punk rock yo-yo superstars!
Well, I guess I can now offically say I say a short movie set to punk music detailing the 2003 Japan National Yo-yo championships. My favorite contestant? The tubby guy. He ruled.
Note: 13 meg file
Inhaling Helium: Party Fun or Deadly Menace?
Deadly menace... harbinger of doom.
So, it was sixth grade graduation and my mom decided that she would pick up me and my buddies from school in the ol' Astro van and take us to Circus Pizza for a graduation party. We're all having a blast playing TMNT and skee-ball when I decide to take a big suck from a helium balloon. Next thing I know, I'm looking up at this giant clown who's telling me, "Hey kid. You have to move. You're blocking the skee-ball machines."
Haven't sucked helium and passed out in front of a skee-ball machine since. Sometimes you learn the hard way, I guess.
Who says the science is gone?
An introduction to Quantum Computing. I say screw the computing thing and get back to the real use for Quantums...
Jamie Oliver... the weblog.
Man, everyone has a freaking blog now a days. I'm going to have to start sending out chiseled hunks of granite just to stay ahead of the curve.

Unclaimed Baggage Center
This site used to be great... you could go there to find cheap used stuff that people left on planes. Now they switched over to an ebay bidding format and things are no longer cheap. Jerks.
iMac Giveaway
Minnesota Public radio is giving away an iMac. I plan to win it, then sell it and get a Nomad.
No goal, eh!
I heard that if you find a beer with a dead mouse in it, then you get free beer for life.

Boo-yah!
My new suspended rapp arrived in the mail. Apparently, I either ordered it (highly unlikely) or got it sent to me for free (probably likely). It's been so long, I can't remember which.

T33n G1rl Squ4dx0rx!!
Hey Hoj. This is where the crazy cartoons come from. Either here or from my homeland.

Digital Pills
It's about freaking time they got something like this working. Now if we can only inject an astronaut into Martin Short.
Burgaflickle!
Stick it. Yep. I'm talking to you D-rod. Stick it in your mac n' cheese curds and stick it hard.
You know what's cool?
When you realize that the guy you have been leaving phone messages with and sounds exactly like your buddy Tom turns out to not be your buddy Tom at all, but rather some sort of angry Tom-like guy. And you find this out courtesy of angry-bizzarro-Tom during the course of another call.

FactCheck.org
FactCheck.org has been slammed
with traffic due to its mention during last night's debate. Server is
out like the gout.

How to photograph fall colors...
A simple guide to taking better pictures. The only disappointing thing? I can no longer use the excuse that my poor pictures are due to poor equipment.
And no respect is given...
That's it, I will be in my room listening to Kenny Loggins and watching Caddyshack.

Pengo
You waited long for the new DG, well more than a day. So here it is. Pengo - the world's greatest penguin action game. But updated with ai for the new willenium.
Where the rich shop...
The Neiman Marcus Christmas book. The only place for zepplins and in-home bowling alleys.
Where they go, and for how long.
American Radio Works has done a piece on congressional travel. Since our congressmen have to list their travel, expenses etc in public records, you, the loyal subject, can learn where they went, for how long, and on who's buck.
It's not my money they are spending, so I don't really care how much each trip cost, but what did bother me was how long some of the trips were. I pay these people to be hanging out in session, not with big shot Eurpoean namby-pambies.
Who's network was down all weekend?
This guys! Apparently, because we use a cable splitter to go to both a tv and our modem, we get some sort of glitch in the impedance matching that throws off the connection. I demand a fix. Stat.

In case anyone wants to go...
Some friends of J's are going to a wedding tomorrow. You should go. And have some punch or something.
