  • Acting! —- Brilliant.

    So, when I’m trying find a bible verse online, I’ve been going to biblegateway.com for years. Just now, for the first time, I clicked one of their “listen to this passage” audio links. Oh man. It’s bad. The readers have British accents, and I’m not convinced they’re real. To make it worse, they adapt these…

  • My bacon, egg, moz. cheese, grape jelly, mayo, tomato on toast sandwich

    One of the benefits of an in-home office is that I get to make up my own lunch ideas. This one isn’t anything too wierd, but derned if it wasn’t tasty. Sandwhich composed of: – 2 slices of toasted wheat bread, mayo on one slice, grape jelly on the other – three slices of peppered…

  • Why your movable type blog must die.

    So Noel has this interesting link to a rant about how movable type sucks and bloggers, that is, people who blog, suck, etc. Now not being a technocrat I don’t understand much of the ranting but I find it really amusing that people can get that bent out of shape about someone else’s personal journal.…

  • Sept. 11 memory

    It seems like many people remember clearly where they were when they first found out about the attack on the World Trade Center. I was working at MSU University Relations at the time, and was in the midst of working on the web site for the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. I walked out of my…

  • Gonna have to register

    Okay. After just getting slammed by a dozen blog spam comments on Cialis and online casinos, I turned on TypeKey authentication for this blog. To comment, you’ll need to create a typekey account. You’ll only have to do this once, and probably you won’t actually have to sign in that often. Warning: To those who…

  • Comment problems

    FYI, I updated this blog software to the most recent version of Movable Type, and the comment features aren’t working right. No matter what I set the preferences to, every comment submitted is help for approval — which I don’t really want. I’d prefer that the comments just went up and if there is something…

  • FUNNY: Weapons of Mass Destruction

    Go to Google.com, type “weapons of mass destruction” into the search field, and click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. Note, though, don’t click the link about the t-shirt at the bottom of the page. I got pop-ups about online gambling.

  • Nice horns

    If you cross your eyes a little until the photo blurs, the horns kind of look like arms or legs and the body looks like some kind of contortionist act. Or maybe that’s just me. And, yes, I have this habit of crossing my eyes when looking at images.

  • Fleeing monkey narrowly escapes three-year-old zoo-goer

    So we watched Shipping News a couple nights ago. I enjoyed it. In it, the protagonist occassionally mumbles headlines to himself. So, I made up a headline. Feel free to comment with your own.

  • So, the colors here

    Chey looked at this site yesterday evening and said to me, “So, why don’t you ask me when you redesign this page? I don’t like these colors.” I found it sort of funny. I pictured myself sneaking upstairs at midnight, my wife sleeping soundly in bed. How peaceful. Then, I would put my hand gently…
