Where Who am I?

Posted on December 22, 2005 | Comments Off on 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.

Take the State Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

Posted on December 22, 2005 | Comments Off on 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.

One of the underappreciated features of this particular style of cat bed is the way it converts to a WW-I era pillbox-style bunker when flipped over.

Holidarity!

Very nice office lunch today, our at Zingerman’s Roadhouse. I don’t know if I mentioned the place before, and I’m lazy enough right now to not search my own archives to check. I had a very good fish and chips, although they called it “Bell’s Beer Battered Cod and Roadhouse Fries”. It was extremely tasty. I’m not sure it was $14 worth of tasty, but it was darn close.

Hey! It’s a tree!

The goofy guy over at EyezMaze has done up a Christmas tree GROW! puzzle. It’s tiny compared to his other ones, but still a load of fun.

The Wife Guest Blog Part III: The Margarita-off

Posted on December 18, 2005 | Comments Off on The Wife Guest Blog Part III: The Margarita-off

All scientific experiments begin with a question. Tonight’s is: Which is the better margarita mix? In order to conduct a quasi-real experiment, we first tried to control as many of the variables as we could. Thus, say hello to the tequila.

Smithee Prep Night

We’re doing a bit of preparation work tonight, watching movies in preparation for the next Smithee Awards.

Actually, I should be clear on this. We’re watching movies for the 2007 Smithees. We’ve allready got pretty much a full slate together for the 2006 show.

Tracked Music

Last week on the 3rd (even though it posted on the 4th), I mentioned that I’d found a cool old game that I remembered from my college days. It was called Star Control II back then, but now it’s been open-source released as The Ur-Quan Masters. Anyway, one of the most memorable things about the game was the soundtrack. It turns out that the folks who composed the music for the game have a site of their own where they’ve posted some remixes and updates to their old tunes.
