“Look at all this cool stuff we can finally do! We’re only two years behind all other cellphone manufacturers now!” A slightly longer version of last year’s announcement.

This past weekend, Naienko and I attended Outsidecon.  It’s a small scifi convention that takes place every year at a local state park (hence why I like to call it “when geeks go camping”).  It being in the middle of a heavily wooded park where many of us stay in tents, you tend to need… Read More »

Well, it’s part way into a new week of prostrate cancer awareness month, which means it’s past due for me to torment you guys with another shot of me in a kilt for Kilted to Kick Cancer. I wish I had remembered to throw my Dragoncon badge over my shoulder for this shot, but I’m… Read More »

Because I can’t forget. CNN, however, would love for you to forget. Kudos to the for referring to the Family Research Council shooter as a terrorist. Negative kudos for trying to use today to paint anyone to the right of Lenin as a possible terrorist in waiting.

That’s a bacon-wrapped sirloin topped with bacon. Yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds. Longhorn Steakhouse. Apparently, the answer to the question in the title is “no.” We asked the manager and she said fully 25% of their customers ordered this in the last week.

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.
