If you need me, I’ll be in teh garage...: Tim and I don’t see eye2eye on some things, but quite often he nails the the whole “married geek” thing. It’ll definitely be funny to watch Tim’s comix grow and change when they have kids. A lot like my own father enjoys watching the slow-motion train Read More...

If you finish reading the entire article...: If you actually manage to read all the way through the entire article (the first time): The Benefits of Distraction and Overstimulation -- New York Magazine My hypothesis is that: You need more caffeine in your diet.

Yeah, I know I said I’d never run for office again...: But then I went and put my name in the hat once more... because it’s for a good cause! No, it’s not April Fool’s. That’s tomorrow. Personally, I’d like to thank L.D. Kirshenbaum (the author of the article below) for giving us a fair shake. I’m sure that Read More...

I need a new dart board. Would the MOF circle work?: I’m spending some time this weekend dusting off skills that I haven’t used for a while. After staring @ this MOF circle for waaay too long, I suddenly got the urge to jump on the bike, ride home and play darts with the kids. Heh. I’m sure you’ll see the Read More...

I think I’ve read that one. By Haldeman, right?: Would somebody please turn on the Large Hadron Collider so we can just end the debate? One way or another? Srsly?

We are sooo doomed as a species.: I bump into people now and then, even up here in the near orbit of Redmond, who either don’t have an email address or don’t check it regularly.

Voice Command: FORMAT C: [ENTER]: Well, that’s how the joke used to go about Vista voice command... Apparently somebody thought it would be fun to actually implement something similar in their mobile o/s. On purpose or not. Heh. The bug can hardly be called a security problem, given it Read More...

Voting in R’lyeh?: I’m pretty sure that Lovecraft would know how to interpret these “mysterious massive waves”, especially since the last time that New England (home to Arkham and other scary places in ‘20s pulp fiction) saw this kind of big wave was in the ‘20s... Our Read More...

Meet the Reedz on Xbox Live: It’s always interesting to see how other people see themselves. Or want to be seen. Maybe it’s the latent social scientist training from decades gone by in graduate school. Who knows? Giving them no specific directions besides “make an avatar for yourself”, Read More...

Mail Goggles? Really? Is it April Fools’ again already?: It’s funny enough that it pretty much speaks for itself… "It will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email," Perlow wrote.

Searching for Mexican Food... on CodePlex?: Tagging is all fun and games until somebody gets hurt, right? Actually, like so-called Google-bombing, it can be pretty funny.
