Thoughts on big breasted women with swords and the importance of data backups

Warning: incomprehensible nerdish ahead.  Translation follows after the next two paragraphs.

This seems an impractical choice of attire for a swordfight.

While browsing Digg just the other day, my monitor started to display all sorts of strange artifacts.  Being the sensible, computer-literate type, I decided to reboot to attempt to fix the problem.  Not only was I greeted with more strange dots and artifacts upon boot (never a good sign), Windows failed to boot and mumbled something about video driver issues and memory dump while exposing me to a bright blue screen.  The next time I powered More >

Caution: nerdiness levels approaching critical

A recent trip to Blockbuster resulted in my obtaining the above pictured DVDs: Serenity, Futurama: Bender’s Big Score, and Battlestar Galactica: Razor.  If there were a Geiger-counter-like device that could detect levels of geektitude, the table where I took this photo would break the needle.

I’ve actually seen Serenity a few times before — even more than once when it was in theaters.  I am quite sad to admit, however, that I hadn’t seen Firefly, the TV show upon which it was based, at the time.  When the show originally aired on Fox, the More >

Just upgraded to WordPress 2.6, only to find out that it killed my permalinks.  If you’re having problems reading any of the posts here, that’s why.  I’m working to get it fixed, although I may be at the mercy of the next WP release.  Ugh.

It’s happened to you too many times to count. You were opening the door to the grocery store. Maybe you were at the mall. Perhaps you were walking down the street the last time it happened. The little brat cut you off, nearly knocked you over, or just generally irritated you by gliding around like a shitty little Scott Hamilton. You were a victim of a little snot wearing heelys, the shoe with a wheel in the heel and an obnoxious “y” in the name. Annoying little asshats all over have helped this trend gather steam to become a full-blown phenomenon. And they must be stopped.

I apologize for the lack of updates lately.  Blogging is a demanding mistress, and between my new job, family life, rounding-out my screenplay (yes, I’m a blogger with a screenplay, I’m aware I’m a cliche), and trying to cram three years’ worth of Battlestar Galactica into about three weeks, I’ve been a little overwhelmed.  However, instead of sitting in front of your monitor, fruitlessly clicking refresh to see if I’ve graced you with more of my wit and insight (or, you know, checking the site’s RSS feed…I do have an RSS feed, you know), you should instead get out for a spell and go watch More >

What the frak?

I found out the hard way that watching four episodes of Battlestar Galactica in a row before bed can lead to dreaming you’re actually ON the Battlestar Galactica.  And not in a good “Gaius Baltar sex dream with Imaginary Six” way, either.
