Tuesday Ten (In My Pants) February 28, 2006
A variation on the ‘ten random tracks’ music meme, adding in the fortune-cookie game of adding ‘…in my pants’ to the end of the fortune…or in this case, song title.

I’m 6.29% Slut February 28, 2006
Just a cute little bit of web silliness: using the Slut-o-Meter to compute your promiscuity according to Google. According to the Slut-o-meter, I’m 6.29% slut.

Just a quick followup to my post comparing Battlestar Galactica downloads via Bittorrent and via the iTMS: according to MacRumors, recent BSG episodes are appearing in an uncropped widescreen ratio.

Schrodinger’s Mac February 24, 2006
This is the kind of geeky science stuff that I love: quantum computers that give results when they’re turned off.

Option 30 February 23, 2006
I have no idea where this came from or who dug it up, but it gave me a good laugh: Trent Reznor, long before Nine Inch Nails, covering Billy Idol’s ‘Eyes Without A Face’ with Reznor’s early-80’s band Option 30.

Alaskan Barbies February 23, 2006
A new (to me) variation of an old joke. This particular version will likely only be amusing to those who’ve lived in Anchorage at some point. Others may find it a handy guide to Anchorage’s neighborhoods.

First Confirmed OS X Malware February 16, 2006
Key points: this is not a virus, rather, it’s a trojan horse; it’s buggy (doesn’t perform all the intended actions); and for most people, activating the payload involves entering their password, which should tip most people off that something’s not right.

iTunes Essentials: Goth February 15, 2006
The iTunes Music Store’s Essentials series has weighed in on the ‘essentials’ of goth. It’s an interesting collection of tracks. Not a bad selection, either — I’m mostly just impressed that they have this many non-pop artists available now.

I got shot by Dick Cheney! February 15, 2006
Okay, so sure, I’ve never been much for hunting, and I knew it could be a bad idea. Still — how many times do you get a chance to go kumquat hunting with the veep? Too bad it turned out like this.

Frequently Secretly February 14, 2006
Willie Nelson has a new song out. Normally, this wouldn’t be something that I’d take much notice of — while I don’t have anything against country music (and even have a little in my collection), it’s not my main forte. This one, however…isn’t your typical country song.

Humor in Tragedy February 10, 2006
All I could see in my head was a Toon Town riot, and I couldn’t help laughing. Wrong, and I’m going to hell…but funny.

Bruce the Wonder Yak February 10, 2006
I think it’s a hilarious little random screed — and my guess is that they just took every little ‘in-joke’ from the FCP programming team and tossed them all semi-randomly into a single text file.

Bush’s hit list February 10, 2006
These are the proposed cuts in Bush’s 2007 budget. A lot of things in here make me wince, but it’s the education sections that really make me made. I want my 24.6 seconds back.

The IT Crowd February 8, 2006
British humor and geek jokes (lots of ‘em, too, from Flying Spaghetti Monster posters to RTFM t-shirts to EFF ‘Fair Use Has a Posse’ stickers…essentially the entire set dressing) combined.

ENG101: In-Class Writing: Analysis: Ed Schools vs. Education February 6, 2006
My second paper for my ENG101 class. This was an in-class essay analyzing an editorial by George Will, ‘Ed Schools vs. Education’. Final grade: 100% (plus a smiley face and the notation, ‘Couldn’t have said it better myself!’).

The Ciccones: Lies February 6, 2006
While most of the all-Madonna mashup album is fairly hit-and-miss, this is by far the standout track. Over the music for “Live to Tell”, audio quotes from the justifications for the Iraq war are juxtaposed with the song’s original chorus.

Steelers take the Superbowl February 5, 2006
Neither Prairie nor I really know much about football, and we don’t really care to know much. However, that didn’t stop us from kicking back and having a fun time watching the game and doing our own form of silly armchair quarterbacking.
