History from MeFi
” On 14 April 1988, the missile frigate Samuel B. Roberts was damaged by a mine in the Persian Gulf. Some 45 years before, Coxswain Samuel B. Roberts was killed when he guided his boat in front of Japanese lines on Guadalcanal in an effort to distract their fire from a rescue party evacuating wounded [...]
Chez Bastard
In the process of closing on a house. I figure, it’s about time. I now know more than I ever wanted about things like siding and easements and cross-base concrete foundations. Took us 5 days and 3 offers to get a house at the price point we wanted in the “right” school district. Anyway, supposed [...]
Just say no to cocker spaniels addicted to hallucinogen
There’s a story on NPR this morning about a cocker spaniel who sucks on frogs found in the backyard to get high. “Poor Lady was such a nice dog till she became involved in toads.

Kinky for Governor
I doubt that this has escaped Zinger’s attention, but one of his perennially favorite authors is running for governor of Texas. Link I’ve recently visited Texas and saw a few cars with his campaign sticker on the bumpers. I’d thought that his band had maybe recently played and it was some kind of joke or [...]
Grand National – Talk Amongst Yourselves
Listened to this guys this morning while working out. It’s funny, last week in Orlando this seemed to be my theme song, since the random shuffle offered this particular song up every morning as I was walking to the convention. “Grand National are a buzzing little UK band who are releasing their debut album ‘Kicking [...]
Tilt-shift and fake Tilt-shift
So, I saw some cool tilt-shift photography stuff, then saw some things about faking it with Photoshop, then was watching late night Cartoon Channel, and they were doing some stuff with it.. and decided that I’d give it a try. What I did is go to live.com and take some screenshots, then stitch them together, [...]
