For a couple years now, I’ve carried an INOVA Microlight on my keychain. Handy little light, but at 6 lumen on the bright setting, not very bright. While i have several other flashlights around the house and in the cars, they’re all a little too big for me to slip into my pocket with all… Read More »
Wait… I can claim that wearing a kilt is for a good cause? Works for me! I’m not going to subject you guys to my ugly mug everyday like JayG is planning, but I may manage one a week. Of course, most of the pics are going to be from Dragoncon this past weekend. This… Read More »
Just got back in from geeking out with roughly 50,000 other geeks at Dragoncon. As per usual, I had a blast, saw some good panels, met some good people, spent more money than I probably should have (hey! I now own *3* Utilikilts! And one of them isn’t black!), and almost certainly drank more than… Read More »
Saw Expendables 2 on Friday. People were shot. Things were blown up. I thought it was awesome. Naienko was apparently expecting a coherent plot. Silly Naienko.
I just informed Naienko of the existence of tennis ball launchers for AK-47 pattern rifles and golf ball launchers for AR-15s. I have hurt her brain meats.
By now, you’ve probably heard of the shooting at the Empire State Building this morning. Some may call this a mass shooting (hey, there were 11 shot, 2 of which died), but that’s not the real story. The real story is that the NYPD desperately needs to bump up their firearms training. Per the article,… Read More »
It’s not when you’re sore the next day. It’s when it doesn’t kick in until 2 days later. I tested (and received) my second degree black belt in TKD on Saturday. I managed to remember all my forms (all 18 of them), survived sparring, and broke many boards without difficulty (once it was determined that… Read More »
So here’s an interesting situation… I live in Tennessee, and my dad lives in Michigan. We’re both into guns and own multiple firearms. I have a gun sitting in my safe collecting dust that I know he’d be interested in. One would think that I could just decide “hey dad, here, take this from your… Read More »
Just wanted to give a nod to Linoge and his continuing efforts to get back into martial arts. Like him, I took Tae Kwon Do in high school, almost made it to black belt, and then quit when I went to college. For years after that, I kept meaning to go back but either work… Read More »
On Friday, I did something that makes the anti-gun nuts skin crawl. I met a stranger in a parking lot and paid cash for a “high powered assault weapon.” No paperwork done. I inspected the rifle, handed him the cash, and we both went our separate ways after a hand shake. This particular acquisition is… Read More »
