Weapons of Mass Destruction March 27, 2006
NRA members and ‘right to bear arms’ wingnuts, feel free to brand me as a gun-control nut. I’m fine with that. There is NO good reason why this sort of weaponry needs to be openly available to the general public.

Close to Home March 26, 2006
So…yeah. It appears that the Capitol Hill shooter was a neighbor of mine. The next building over, and I don’t recognize him from the picture in the Times article, but still one of my neighbors.

No Sakuracon for Me March 25, 2006
I’d mentioned before that I was planning on heading downtown today to wander around Sakuracon and get some shots of the various cosplay kids. As it turns out, I’d actually forgotten to ask for today off from work…so that won’t be happening. Oops.

Mac OS X turns Five March 24, 2006
After spending half my life watching smart, talented people ignore the Mac for reasons of circumstance or prejudice, it’s incredibly gratifying to live in a post-Mac OS X world.

Weather Tempertantrum March 24, 2006
In the past five minutes, we just went from sunshine, to rain, to hard rain, to hail, and then it all turned off like a faucet and we’re back to sunshine. I love spring!

Monty Python’s Lord of the Rings March 23, 2006
NOBODY expects the Orcish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear, our two main weapons. Our two main weapons, surprise, fear, and an almost fanatical devotion to Saruman. THREE main weapons, surprise, fear, nice black uniforms… I’ll come in again.

Registered (Spring ‘06) March 22, 2006
With the end of winter quarter comes the beginning of spring quarter. As before, Prairie and I figure we can afford to put me through two classes this quarter (I’ll be taking summer quarter off, and should have financial aid for next fall).

Helen Thomas rocks my world. We need more people like her in the press — hell, we need squadrons of people like her in the press.

Sometimes birthdays come early March 21, 2006
Last week sometime, Prairie surprised me by mentioning what she’d been thinking about for my birthday present this year. Really surprised me, too — it was far and beyond anything I’d expected her to do. It came in today.

There appears to be a bit of a tussle going on between George Clooney and The Huffington Post, where his ‘I am a liberal’ post (now removed from THP) was printed.

More Reunions March 17, 2006
I love watching stuff like this go on — and I’m very willing to put up with the occasional bout of comment spam in return for being able to watch old friends reconnect thanks to Google and some random piece of babble on my site.

Vice Versa March 17, 2006
‘Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible.’

Garth Brooks is a Gateway Drug March 16, 2006
I’ve often noticed when talking to people that, if they have even a little bit of country in their collection, there is a pretty good chance that Garth will be in there somewhere, if not the sole representative. Which leads to the realization that Garth Brooks is a gateway drug.

to grok, have grokked, am grokking March 15, 2006
Of the many contributions Robert Heinlein made to the world, I think the word ‘grok’ is my personal favorite. I’m getting through my math class…but I’m sure not grokking it.

Clooney Comes Out March 14, 2006
Bottom line: it’s not merely our right to question our government, it’s our duty. Whatever the consequences. We can’t demand freedom of speech then turn around and say, But please don’t say bad things about us. You gotta be a grown up and take your hits.

schrodingerscat March 10, 2006
I was just looking over the list of tags used on my site in the past month as displayed on my archives page, when one tag in particular suddenly gave me the giggles. A simple mis-parsing, and I ended up with two competing definitions for the same tag.
