When Is A Pikachu Not A Pokémon?

My son started speaking at one and in his Borg-like ability to acquire language skills I found myself constantly surprised by what words he knew. I was constantly on the defense, answering questions. But then the day that every father dreads dawned, when his very vocal boy looks up at him, points between his legs [...]

Links N’ Junk 12: Old vs. New Version

I’ve been swamped with a self-imposed crash course on CSS consisting of countless reading hours, lots of sweating and bitter tears. But I still managed to stumble across some interesting links. Lifesaver. You were excited by the new version. You upgraded. It stank and your computer just keeps crashing. Old Version comes to the rescue [...]

Links N’ Junk 11

Fuzzy Theology. I believe in the second coming but I don’t think this Paul Rodriguez look a like fits the bill as he calls himself Jesus Christ and spouts completely anti-Biblical things like “there is no such thing as sin”. Web. 25Gigs of free online storage by AMD. ::raises glass:: Now all they need to [...]

Standard Response Wednesday 2

Continuing the tradition of not having anything to write…it’s time now for a standard response of a fellow blogger. You know, those little sentences that make that blogger unique among other bloggers. Here’s the standard response: Having said that, I should also say that I have never understood the common practice normally practiced by most [...]

Apple Keynote: Taking Over Your iLife

iPod: 60% brigher screen. Increased battery life (which it desperately needed). New headphones. Gapless playback on digital music (matching their (old) iTunes feature of crossfade slightly). Instant searching for music. You can play games on the iPod now (albeit sucky ones when you consider what PSP has but their point is to ad a perk [...]

Links N’ Junk 10

Virii ConsumerReports tests anti-virus software by creating new virus strands. McAfee properly asks “What? Are you insane?” (paraphrased) ConsumerReports also does some wackiness with anti-spyware that doesn’t reflect a real world scenario: they use only one spammer. Windows Is your PC Vista-Ready? And do I really want it—I hated how duplo Macs got with OSuX [...]

So Hot: My Celeb Look-Alikes

I decided to try some alternate shots to see what I get: Two Conclusions, the first is news to me and the second is unsurprising. I apparently look like Tom Clancy (Or parts of me do anyway). Second is that my wife is Hot in profile or head on: I didn’t need a test to [...]

School Daze, School Days

My memory is odd. I can remember complex theological frameworks, the wonders of the quantum world, plot points from various books but fuzz on faces and many of my life experiences. I don’t remember my first day of kindergarten….just remember tears. I don’t remember my first day of any school year really—they just form a [...]

Standard Response Wednesday

I figured: I have nothing to write…so why not put up a standard response of a fellow blogger. You know, those little sentences that make that blogger unique among other bloggers. Here’s the standard response: I remember the 2-part Return of Optimus Prime at the end of season 3 that had some odd conversations by [...]

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead

Did anyone not see this coming? The guy wrestled with crocodiles, played with venemous snakes and put his head near all types of scary critters. Irwin’s death was caused by a Stingray while filming “The Oceans Deadliest”. The dude survived everything above land but the ocean was where he met his end. It’s sad because [...]
