Not Uri Geller

Apparently Graceland will be getting more commercial.  I don’t know if I’m more surprised that they’re fooling with the King’s home, or that Graceland could become more commercial.

Behold: Hot Food

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Congratulations to the A-B Tech Hot Food Team (OK, apparently they’re officially the A-B Tech culinary team) who won a national championship. As near as I can tell, my sister runs A-B Tech, so I consider it a win for the home team.

Could it be…

So apparently a couple big chunks of ice hit a small town in Iowa.

A guy this decent deserves to be Cosmic Boy. Of course, I’ve always thought of myself as more of an Ultra Boy.

What’s wrong with America

Indeed.

Another reason to run free operating systems

Wellington Grey has pointed out the fantastic dangers of wireless routers. Fortunately I’ve de-fanged mine by running Linux on it.

New Wave Heaven

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Here is exactly how I imagined the perfect life in 1985. It doesn’t surprise me that Bruce Campbell is living it.

Sad though it is to say, on further reflection, it may actually be Wil Wheaton who’s living my perfect life.

Cutty Sark damaged

While I’m busy telling jokes no one will get, I should mention that my old 8th grade swim team were all certainly sad to hear about the damage to the Cutty Sark.
