I’ve reached that point in the election season where I largely keep the TV off, except to watch shows that I’ve already recorded on my DVR and thus can hit the ‘CM SKIP’ button to help skip over the endless political attack ads. This ad, however, is an absolute hoot, as if a few of […]
From the ever-worthwhile McSweeney’s, here’s an excerpt of the findings from the Committee on Promotion and Tenure: Demonstrates suitable experience and expertise in chosen field: The committee concurred that Dr. Jones does seem to possess a nearly superhuman breadth of linguistic knowledge and an uncanny familiarity with the history and material culture of the occult.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve had some persistent problems logging into WordPress (the blogging software used here) from any computer other than one of my desktop computers in my home office. Apparently, this is a well-known problem. I worked my way through a few of the suggestions on that page w/out much success, but then […]
…I’ve been having network problems downstairs (fixed now), and WordPress has some quirky bug that often prevents me from logging into the blog from my laptop (shortly put, it won’t let me get past the log-in screen when I try to do anything such as write a post, moderate comments, etc.).

Ran across The Comics Curmudgeon site thanks to a link from Memepool. Josh Fruhlinger, who runs the site, does out loud (well, on the web) what many of us have been doing subvocally for years: mocks the lame comics that persist on newspaper comics pages everywhere.

The results are troubling, to say the least; I’ll leave it to him to post the information […]
FURTHER UPDATE (still 10/11/06, but later on): Since some of the later YouTube postings of the David Zucker “Madeleine Albright visits North Korea” video are also disappearing, I’ve captured it (using Applian tools) and am making it available here for downloads (right click and do a “Save Link As”): zucher.flv (1.62 MB; you can download […]
First off – All of this information is from the New York Times and Google Earth (That’s so no one gets up in arms about me posting this kind of stuff here). Below is an an overview of the test site area in the North East part of North Korea. The nearest populated place is […]
At present it seems that the North Koreans set off a small to medium yield, large format implosion type nuclear device, similar to the gadget around 10:30 AM local time. Detonation was likely in a horizontal shaft associated with a coal mine that was no longer in use. Given other seismic data from nuclear tests […]
What Were We Thinking?
As Webster has mentioned, some time early in 2006 I started tracking several pieces of the financial sector using a new tool I invented that we named “Boomerang”. Suffice to say it was originally conceived as a tool for intelligence fusion for things like the war on terror. Unable to find a vehicle inside the […]
