yeek
one of the more frightening child safety warning images, courtesy of dell and the packaging from sara\’s new laptop: to me, it seems to be warning people to not see the movie scream, but i\’m happy to take other nominations.

Passions
On a recent trip to New York I was driving to LaGuardia at the ungodly hour of 4:45 AM, when a fancy car zoomed past me with a license plate giving me the distinct feeling that I was just passed by Dom Imus. Watching his luxury sedan speed off into the pre-dawn darkness, my recent…

Why I\’m Becoming A Libertarian
Per usual I was reading the Star and Tribune, and came across this article about new driving laws. The first one I can accept: it\’s now illegal to drive and text/send email from your phone. But how do you enforce that; outside of actually seeing someone typing on their phone while driving 80 down the…

Garfield Minus Garfield
I thought I\’d blogged about this before, but my quick search for the orange cat on this site didn\’t turn up anything, so I\’ll try to set that right this time. Anyway. I found an old article in the Washington Post this morning, that highlighted one of my newer internet finds: Garfield Minus Garfield. And…

No, YOU\’RE a Club!

It\’s-a Me! Sellin\’ you burritos!
Nice little find by a vacationeer in Acapulco. That guy in the sombrero looks awfully familiar… It\’s-a Me! No word on whether or not immigration is aware of the warp pipes. (h/t GoNintendo.) Late day post-script: Monkey passed this along, and it\’s too good not to add in. Evil Red Wings owner steals cup. (Courtesy…

A Tale of Genius (In Two Parts)
Part 1: I forgot to pay my cell phone bill. It was due on Monday. By Monday night, my phone had no service. I found it annoying, but didn\’t think too much of it, since that\’s not too far removed from my typical service level of one-half to one bar (\”more bars in more places\”…

Friday Field Trip! (With Pictures!)
It\’s Friday, it\’s almost summer vacation time, and I\’m unemployed. So what better to do, than go on a field trip! And do I ever have a special field trip destination for you, dear readers. That\’s right, I went to: Wades Supermarket! No, really. I did. Southwest Virginia\’s finest locally owned and operated chain of…

where all the lights are bright
aaaah, downtown. how i\’ve missed you. the reasons are numerous, but here\’s one of my favorites: watching people nearly get schmucked crossing the streets that intersect nicollet ave. well, okay, that\’s just a side benefit.
