Mebbie-bumkins posted about her brand spanking new skill at poker, which made me recall the gift Jenn (sorry, Santa) gave me in my stocking. Three Dragon Ante at first elicited my thought of “oh, just a D&D version of 3-card ante,” but it’s nothing at all like that. When I started reading the rules, I …

Republican Shenanigans
Of course, I, being the good centrist that I am, prefer to say “Political Shenanigans” as I have no confidence that this kind of crap doesn’t go on with democratic staffers too. What would I do without Pharyngula to feed my funny-hunger?
Blogging is Crack
A friend of mine who (to paraphrase) “just couldn’t get into this blogging stuff” is now drenching the interwaves with posts. It’s amazing. I’m agog.
Dvorak & !Me
Well, my brief experiment with Dvorak is at an end for now. The system works well; I learned the keys quickly and my speed was picking up. Unfortunately, I hit a small snag: work. When I am needed to write-write-write, I must fall back on my best available typing option, i.e. QWERTY. So, I will …

Just her update from the 19th. Hmmmm… Maybe it got retracted? Maybe BBC jumped the gun? …
Bunny Loving!
This one is for all the bunny lovers out there. Especially Annie. Gacked from myconfinedspace via Pharyngula.
Woo Woo Woo: Crazy Land
Through random occurrence, I popped over to the Troubled Times website. I was under the impression before clicking through that it was a survivalist/preparation website. Given some of the apolocalyptic fiction I read, there’s interest for me there. However, survival was only the skin of what I found. Troubled Times believes that a world-wide cataclysm, …
Iraq is Main Front of War on Gay Marriage
Andy Borowitz dissects the latest missive from President Bush.
File Photos
I wrote an entry concerning a Carl Sagan anecdote as a part of his 10th deathday memorial. While I was writing it, I thought it would be cool to do a google-esque change to my blog header for one day. Put up an image of the night sky, or the moon, or something spacey. Of …
