Ready for bed

Oof. And ugh. We hit 105.8f at noon. Really, that’s about 20 degrees above what I like. Still, it could be worse: It could have been humid as well. Up until the 1990’s, this area was known mainly for its bugs and white supremacists. Both have decreased dramatically, which is nice. Still, I do have […]

Sleep

The internet, series of tubes and un-truck-like or not, is a funny place. I have just finished my morning perusal of other people’s postings of misery and doubts, and still have enough time for a cup of cocoa (okay, mocha, dammit!) before work. Which is a good thing, too: My eyes keep closing. I think […]

Targeted Advertising

There are certain blogs I read daily, podslug and Mythstory among them. Some (ie Mythstory), use Google Ad Sense, as discussed on podslug here. The idea is targeted advertising, which left me somewhat confused this morning while reading Mysthstory’s ‘July 11th: Mortality “In” and “Out” List’. For this post, which was entertaining and enlightening as […]

Deep in the heart of Jersey

Thank you, wonkette, for pointing me to fourfour. I think I’ve got a new blog to add to my roll. Related Images:

Geek Blog Update

I added a new feature: Live comment preview (angry goose not included). Sure, Fanatical Apathy already does this, but I didn’t, so it is new to me. Since it is a home-brewed implementation, let me know if it breaks. If I am feeling creative, I may throw in a simple spellcheck method, although you should […]

The End Is Near

Sunday, the day of rest. We’re heading out shortly to rest at a wooden boat festival. Hopefully I can relax a bit there and forget my wife’s latest attempt to get me to perform something considered a crime against nature in this bass-ackwards state we live in. I’m sorry, but “I just want you to […]

More Bad Ideas

I haven’t a clue where I will store it, but I think it’s time to add a new category. Beginning next Saturday (assuming I don’t get sent out of town), I will include a weekly video segment entitled “Blowing Sh*t Up”. The premise is simple: Once a week I will find something around the house […]

Stink Train

The stench is unbearable. My office is complete chaos, but it is not coming from anything I left in there. No, the stench is me. True, I showered last night, but I was too lazy to grab a clean shirt this morning. so on with the old and out with the ewww! Rancid acrid sweat […]

God’s Spliff

Once again, I have so much to write and so little motivation. Do I write about the local lawyer and former Idaho Concressional candidate who is growing God’s pot plant on his front lawn (one of many great quotes from Tuesday’s Post Falls Press article: “. . . this was a proverbial burning bush, this […]

Stupid Things

I’ve got my Bad Idea Jeans on and I’m not afraid to use them! My site may disappear for a bit: I am going to attempt to upgrade to the latest version of Moveable Type and I need to remove some code that some bastard stuck up there on my various photo pages. Thanks to […]
