I came across a link today, to another blog (Stani’s Python Editor) about a new Dutch coin. I was totally blown away by what Stani did for the coin. You’re thinking, c’mon, how clever can it be? It’s a coin. If you’re thinking that, you probably live in the U.S. as I do. The amount of [...]
I saw this link Fark.com about a woman who’s suing a bar in New York for being thrown from a mechanical bull in the bar. What the hell did she think the purpose of the mechanical bull was? If you want the safe one lady, it’s out front — go put a quarter in it [...]
I’ve spent the better part of a day (with a little help from my friends, thanks Mike) cleaning up our WordPress sites from exploit hackers. I really, really, hope there is a special place in Hell for these people. Through some un-named WordPress hole these bastards managed to upload a file with a “.pngg” extension [...]
I’ve chosen a new site theme. It’s called StudioPress and it’s by Dailyblogthemes. I didn’t want to switch, but something odd was happening on the site and I traced it back to the theme. Buried somewhere in the old theme code was some type of link-jacking attempt. Rather than waste any more time time trying [...]
I came across an article link on reddit today, a story about a gas station owner that made an honest mistake resetting the price on his diesel pump and left off the “3″ in “3.59.” Since I’m posting about it here, you can probably guess from the post title that he wasn’t immediately notified by some good [...]
Sometimes I come across stuff that really makes me scratch my head. I apologize for the poor quality of the accompanying photograph. My digital camera had a dead battery and the camera on my cellphone has about the same resolution as an etch-a-sketch.
I really like Lewis Black’s stand up routines. He’s very good in short doses. I am afraid, though, that he’s going to work himself into a coronary one day. I came across this YouTube video of him on CNN today, where he makes a point that I continually make and most people either overlook or [...]
I came across a story today on MSNBC about Ringo Starr. It seems that ol’ Ringo is just too busy anymore to answer fan mail. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. For someone whose heyday was 40 years ago, you’d think he’d just be happy to still be getting fan mail. Let alone a [...]
Well, another Friday rolls around and the economy continues to tank. I’m sure glad our fearless leaders rammed that bailout down our throats, I’d hate to see how bad things would have been without it!
This story really caught my eye. The story’s headline B.C. Man Comes Out Swinging In Bear Attack doesn’t end the way you might think. I assumed it was a run-of-the-mill bear attack; man gets attacked, gets eaten or nearly eaten by the bear. But in this reverse Goldylocks story, the three bears get taken out [...]
