I've accepted that all of you are socially superior to me. But no pretending that any of you are rational.

P.S.A.

Pizza Service Announcement! Don’t know if any of you ever go for Papa John’s pizza.  Obviously we’re talking convenience and modest price here, not teh haute cuisine stuff.  (As usual, my foodie friends led me to the best pizza:  Campisi’s of Dallas.) But if you do go … Continue reading

Sheeple Apocalypse.

Next trick:  try recording the name “Hastur“ then play it in an endless loop until something happens. (Hat tip to xkcd, which I’d not checked out in awhile.  It’s still…well…xkcd.)

The U.S.S. DarwinWasWrong.

In the analog days, Cracked magazine never quite had the cachet of Mad.  (“Cachet” perhaps not being the appropriate word.)   But Cracked online is one of the funniest sites on the InterWeb.  It is also surprisingly informative and inexplicably accessible through my employer’s firewall (ie., beware of … Continue reading

You’re in the (Atomic) Army now.

I entered the commerical nuke business in 1984 in my early twenties.  One older tech I learned from had also been a “meter swinger” as a twenty-something.  One of his first jobs?  Surveying Army guys after stuff like this: Were … Continue reading
