Thanks, David, for passing this along to me. I am amused. (and it’s true: let the dude smoke if he needs to) You know, as I was about to push POST on this, I realized that I couldn’t think of any Republican videos or spoofs similar to this one. I mean, this is definitely a …

xkcd – I love you Randall Munroe
One of my favorite xkcd comics ever. It bears repeating:
Happy Equinox!
Happy Autumnal Equinox! Congratulations on making it 1/4 of the way around the Sun (from my arbitrarily determined start point). This is, of course, our free annual trip that includes not one, but two stopovers at the celestial equator. Well, I should say it includes two points at which the Sun crosses the celestial equator, …
Dragon*Con 2010
I am returned from another year of Dragon*Con. As I posted to my twitter stream, I believe I left everything on the field. The last several years of Dragon*Con have been all about the night life for me, which means that sleep becomes seriously sacrificed. My normal sleep schedule is 4 AM to 8 AM …

If you haven’t heard the Contraptions play, I highly recommend it. If you have, they’re unveiling new stuff right now! I head …
From the Producer of "Javatar"
I’m not a programmer yet I find this enormously amusing. It probably wouldn’t be as much fun if it were in English. And don’t forget to click on the vuvuzela button!
Happy Solstice!
In three…two…one…NOW! Congratulations on surviving our free annual trip around the sun. I understand that next year’s journey is being cut 5% due to the economic downturn.
Meetings as Sabotage
Bruce Schneier linked to a declassified sabotage manual from WWII (pdf). It’s an easy quick read if you’re interested. It contains a lot of general ideas of how to be a pain in the ass to an occupying power. It mainly advocates low-level irritation and minor sabotage that, if combined with the actions of other …
