  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Links N’ Junk 9

    It’s been a crazy week: tons of work, an intense conference (which I sort of liveblogged over at the Bible Archive) and very little sleep. It doesn’t stop me from putting up some links n’ junk. Movies. Megatron Tek. PS3 puts its power to good use: to combat Alzheimer’s. 100 inch LCD screen (HT: Gizmodo)…

  • Links N’ Junk 8: Perceptions edition

    Nostalgia: New Coke and Car Seats Quiz: Interesting self-tests at the research center and be honest (MCF). Story: Listen to this: 1980. A certain Ms. Abbie Conant applies for 11 trombone auditions but is invited for only 1. The letter begins “Dear Herr (means Mister) Abbie Conant”. Sounds like Trouble. Tech: Control your computer (PC…

    Theology: Walking into some theological debates on the web is like a bunch of people swimming out to the deep end of the ocean and arguing about who is more sure of the depth while everyone is treading water. With that warning I’ll link to this post from the Pyromaniacs with the added disclaimer that…

  • 80’s Cartoon Meme

    1. One ‘80s Cartoon that changed your life: None of them really changed my life, sorry. If someone put a gun to my head I’d say “Dungeons & Dragons” (links to my movie adaptation) because of its cool factor but that’s about it. I liked Sci Fi before D&D. 2. One ‘80s Cartoon that you…

  • Links N’ Junk 6

    Celebs: ::cue music:: Pretty Woman, oh no that’s Britney…Pretty woman…buying groceries. (some language in the first link) Blogspotting: Janet went and committed the worst mistake in her life—she added me to her blogroll. Jerry went and got his wife pregnant. Curt has an odd sense of humor. MCF makes another list. Jim has the best…

  • Five Books Meme ::Sigh::

    1. One book that changed your life: To all you cheats, no…not the Bible. That’s an omnibus with sixty six (or so) volumes in one. That being said, I’ll have to go with Romans. It gave me a full picture of my depravity, the need of a savior, my inability to work to merit salvation,…
