There is no knowing the Evil Eyebrow
SPOILERS! We went to see Revenge of the Sith again last night. ‘Twas just as good action-wise last night as it was the first time, although I found myself daydreaming during any scene with Annakin talking to Padme (except for the end). I’m still a bit disappointed by the beginning battle scene. It had the …

Voyager 1 has reached the heliosheath as evidenced in the linked article. “Who cares?” you ask, whilst munching popcorn, watching clonetroopers duke it out with Jedi? I do! And you should too, as this is a phen0menal display of engineering acuity. Voyager 1 was launched 35 miles from my house, in 1977. At least, the …
As of today, a Google search on evolution produces “about 91,200,000” results. I’m sure by tomorrow, that will have changed. Controversial subjects will do that.

The majority dressed as Jedi. (I’ve got nothing against women role-players, but seeing a Darth Vader with boobs prominently on …
Tonight, at 12:01 AM, we see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, along with a gazillion other crazy persons. People at work have told me to stay home tomorrow, or call in sith (stolen from the Atlanta Journal Constitution). I’m sure I’ll be wired and fired upon arrival at 8:00 to tell people …
“Learning curve like the Matterhorn.” That is a quote from The Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. The character in question (Randall Waterhouse) was reffering to Unix, as opposed to small, furry desktop operating systems. For similar reasons, I’ve always been leery of jumping into the mess that is blogging because I didn’t want to take the …
