The square-cube law says that as volume goes up, surface area goes up more slowly. My current application of this principle is devoted to hair. Exhibit one, the culprit: This cat, which is one half of the current feline-american population of my residence, has grown in mass by approximately 2.2 times. Similarly, the other feline-american …

Super Tuesday! And Alcohol!
In case you aren’t paying attention, Super Tuesday, the conglomeration of several different states’ primaries where the largest individual lump of delegates are awarded, is this coming week. I happen to live in one of those states, which leaves me a quandary: Do I vote for a republican candidate that I could actually see being …
Fun is (NOT) What You See Here
Pro Tip: When you set a document backup program to backup a directory to an external hard drive, it should not take the files from the external hard drive and overwrite the directory you’re trying to backup. This happened to Jenn yesterday. I have not told you (yet) what the software package is because I’m …
Rush Limbaugh is Done. Or Should Be
I will be the first person to acknowledge that we here in the United States are entitled to freedom of speech. I will also be the first to acknowledge that not everyone agrees with my own personal opinions regarding social justice or foreign policy or whatever. I will also acknowledge that some people find worth …

Last Two Days in the GA Legislature
HB 1116 – Prohibition of Vasectomies. You heard me right. This is a protest bill. SB 468 – Bicycle Rules of the Road. This bill would remove the option for bicyclists to ride two abreast. I am not in favor of this bill. It is ostensibly for safety reasons, but it really is to demonstrate …
Goodnight Cat Post
Artemis is our regal cat.
So I Made this Today
Recently, I participated in a Kickstarter campaign that delivered to me a paper-stock mecha game! It’s called Lost Reich and it’s by Fat Dragon Games. I got my file downloads this week and today I put together the first model, shown above. I tried to take a picture of this using the handy-dandy camera that’s …
More Cats!
I’ve you’ve been wondering why more cat pics aren’t appearing here, it’s because Apollo and Artemis think that someone with a camera means playtime, which means incessant moving around, which means it’s hard to get sharp pictures. So far, the only place I can get them to stand still long enough for image capture is …
