This one is specifically at skaryma because I want to see her head a-spode. Though there is a good chance she already knows about it, seeing as she seems to know everything about literature.

I just came across this on CNN. The article is about people using the Spore Creature Creator to make testicles with legs and such. What really got me was this:
"I consider this very similar to child pornography, at least to the extent of distributing the material to children," 18-year-old Michael James from Calgary, Alberta, told CNN. James said ( Read more... )

Since Stef is away in MN, there is nobody around to tell me not to play with high voltages. As a result, I build a pickle-bulb! It was brighter than I expected.

I've started a new blog on some webspace that Stef and I got but haven't really done anything with. This blog is for the geeky/technical ideas I have and want to put down, so it probably won't interest many of you.
