Yes, you might have noticed that I haven’t been concentrating on new publications, and this is for two reasons. One is that I haven’t been reading very much in the way of new publications, and the second is, I’m recommending books that I think people should read ;-) Douglas Adams is best known for [...] September 13th, 2011 | Tags: book review, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Douglas Adams, ghosts, murder, mystery, science fiction | Category: Book Review, Critical Thinking, Humor |
 Leave a commentAh, yes, natural disasters! Bad enough in their own right, but compounded because they herald the news programs desperate for drama, so they can run their stock footage of other disasters and send some idiot to stand out in the rain shouting above the din of their windbreaker six sizes too large (you thought [...] August 29th, 2011 | Tags: brain-damaged asshat, Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann, Mommie Dearest, Pat Robertson's a fucking shitheel, Rick Perry | Category: Critical Thinking, Humor, Random |
Leave a commentI actually get chills when watching the following video – it’s just too cool seeing this all come together: I’ve known this video for a couple of years now, and there’s a decent chance you’re familiar with it; at least with the tour that culminated from it. That, however, was only the lead-in [...] August 28th, 2011 | Tags: nobody chundered, nobody gets eaten either, Walking With Dinosaurs | Category: Humor, Random, Too Cool |
Leave a commentHi, all you spambots out there! You’ve been sending me so many fascinating comments that I’ve been neglecting, so I thought I’d sit down and finally answer some choice selections. I’m sorry that I can’t get to all of you, but I can say that I appreciate your efforts nonethemore. Also, for those of [...] August 22nd, 2011 | Tags: spam spam spam spam spam eggs and spam | Category: Humor, Random |
Leave a commentI don’t watch a lot of TV, but this past week I saw more than normal, and subsequently saw trailers for the new movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, virtually every time. There is no commentary intended or implied in this, merely an observation, but I kept seeing Kevin Bacon. Mind you, [...] Okay, so let’s think about something a second. Several species of wolf and fishing spiders (what my friend referred to long ago as “Big Honking Spiders”) carry around egg sacs with them as they go. This is almost certainly so that the young are protected from birth, because the same species are seen carrying [...] July 6th, 2011 | Tags: And my readership drops to two, Yes I'm weird | Category: Humor, Random |
Leave a commentA few weeks back now, a horde of unidentified caterpillars descended on flowering trees of a certain species in the backyard, devouring leaves at an alarming rate. I naturally took the opportunity to add to my photo stock, including some interesting compositions. This particular one always strikes me as enigmatic, for some reason. Seeing [...] June 20th, 2011 | Tags: Tom Hanks eaten by a baby titmouse - I'd pay to see that | Category: Humor, Nature, Photography, Random |
One commentA few years back, I snagged what is sometimes called a “grab shot” of my cat Ben perched in the bathroom, and liked the effect of his glowing eyes in the depths. So I captioned it, a la LOLCats, but never bothered to submit it. More amusing to me is that Ben lacked any [...] June 2nd, 2011 | Tags: LOLcats, LOLghosts, The Demon-Haunted World | Category: Humor, Random |
One commentFor any of the four readers who might have been checking in vain for new posts, I apologize. It’s been a weird several days, and when I wasn’t involved with backups and system maintenance (backing up photo files takes more than a workday,) I was out trying to find photo subjects. And I did, [...] In these times when banks demonstrated that they couldn’t be trusted with the enormous responsibility that they were given, leading to economic horror stories and an unstable job market, it’s refreshing to see our administration putting a lot of effort into actions that can only improve our situation. I’m talking, of course, about Ten [...] April 20th, 2011 | Tags: congressional action, economic stimulus, effective leadership, ten commandments, ten commandments weekend, try garlic too | Category: Critical Thinking, Humor, Reference |
