Not only was she forced to pose for this photo so I could verify image posting with MessageDance, but she has to spend a week without her momma. :( Blogged with MessageDance

By etrigan - Last updated: Thursday, April 24, 2008

Becky and I are making our Biennial trip to the Big Apple tomorrow. We have an overstuffed trip ahead of us with a planned list of 3 restaurant reservations, 2 museum reservations, 2 theatrical shows, 4 limited-release movies, and the Bronx Zoo (not to mention the desire for another museum and movie plus part of […]

We Cheer

I know this is targeted at tween girls, but I know more than a few rhythm game lovin’ people who would want try this out. …and I’m probably fey enough to want to play it, too. Then again my wife accuses me of being a tween girl at heart.

Looks like we’re going to need a bigger garden.

We’ve been discussing Peak Oil for quite a while around here.  Now we can all start worrying about Peak Wheat. Are potatoes the answer?

The Bush Recession

By etrigan - Last updated: Monday, April 14, 2008

I really have nothing to say on the matter that hasn’t been said before, but I loved it when my man Doggett used the phrase “Mr Bush’s Recession” at the end of a speech recently, so I thought I would start spreading that phrase around. Of course, we may need more delineation that that. Maybe […]

Scam School

FOAF Brian Bushwood is host of a new media web launch and, typically for him, it’s not the most well-behaved of concepts. I’ll let him describe it. Ever wanted to learn a trick that would absolutely explode your friend’s brains? Want the secrets to scamming free drinks when you’re at the bar? Ever just want […]

Opensource the HD-DVD

By etrigan - Last updated: Monday, April 7, 2008

Now that HD-DVD has lost the battle, I’ve thought of a way to keep the format alive. The rights/patent owners should release the technology through an open source outlet, giving that community the ability to create their own disc format free of restriction. It’s a dream, but it doesn’t seem too unachievable.

Really!?! (nods to Seth and Amy)

Make $11b, Fire 9k

By etrigan - Last updated: Monday, April 7, 2008

I should probably keep my mouth shut, but rumor and innuendo at work compel me to make a case (even if it goes unheard to the people in power.) I’ve commented before on the impact former CIOs have had to my employer. (Starts with a “D”, has a slanted “e” and ends in a double […]

Gettysburg Sellout

With the ongoing saga of the Jena 6 which has been uncovering even more backwardass mess in the South, it is nice to see that a t-shirt like this one sells-out by 4am.
