Cast & crew
I’ve been working, semi-half assedly, on a cast page for the webcomic. It seems kind of silly to identify cast members for what is basically a gag-a-day non-story based strip, but there are some recurring characters.

In the middle of Thai street
Went out to Thai House restruant tonight with the family and with Rob. He’s going to be translating some of our gifts for us – we have new treats to do JSFR of. Many of them are untainted by English labeling, so it’ll be a bit of a fun grab bag.

All The Way Up North
Hello from the frozen wastelands… We made it fine, and we haven’t forgotten about you all. In fact, the December Challenge is still on, and we’ll be post-dating entries madly once we get all set up and ready to go. I’m just posting a bit to test the network…
It’s working.
Goodnight!

Evangelonging
I don’t know if it was ever an official “Rich Hall” Sniglet, but we were treated to a live example of evangelonging at my grandma’s home this morning. If you don’t know the word, it’s the practice of evangelists (especially on television) to emphasize a word by stretching out the middle (e.g. Ga-aaaaahhhhhh-d).

Just so cool…
A very cool little applescript:
If you have OmniGraffle, you can download and run the AppleScript below. It’ll trawl through your iTunes library, map out all the artists, hi-light the most popular, and connect it all so you can arrange it as you will. I’d say that qualifies as suitably neat yet pointless…

Conditioned response
I swear, Tetris has trained a generation of Americans to feel incredibly tense when they hear balalaika music. I wonder if was intentional on the part of the programmers… A way to give themselves an edge on their competition by subtly controlling mood through background music. All I know is that hearing a few bars of Russian folk music gets the adrenaline pumping for half my office mates.
It’s an almost Pavlovian response.
Hm….

Friday Comic
I kind of hope that today’s comic is the internet’s sole source of flying robot poop humor. Honestly though, I’m just afraid to do the Google search to find out for sure.
Where Who am I?
You’re Michigan!
You really love cars. In spite of their environmental hazards, the value of public transportation, and their total lack of safety, you want nothing more than to spend time in and around cars. This has brought you to the brink of financial ruin and total despair, but the joy of the cars still outweighs your difficulties. Would it really kill you to use less gasoline? You are a truly incredible singer.

Comfort? And Joy?
So. I decided to see what I had in iTunes for holiday music. And I find that I’ve got a version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” as it would be done by The Residents.
It’s very, very creepy. Not at all comforting, not terribly joyful at all. I love it.
Alas, the fellow who did it has taken it down from his website, otherwise I’d link to it.
