Things like this also come to an end
725/726: All Good Things... I guess any series that has a shot at a memorable ending is probably a good series. A lot of shows get cancelled or become so bad or different over time that the ending is just a formality. So I guess the goal is just to not have that happen. Then you get to pick your own ending. I think the secret is just to hit ( Read more... ) -
A THANKSGIVING MIRACLE
Bloglines seems to be picking up LJ feeds again! I found a bunch of LJ detritus in my reader this morning, as though the clogged intertubes finally burst forth with back-blogged goodness ( Read more... ) -

This is the first non-wikipedia page that comes up in Google for slide rules ( Read more... ) -
Not that all crazy street literature is religious; sometimes it's from cell phone companies
Around campus today, a group is handing out copies of Darwin's On the Origin of Species. I think this is pretty awesome ( Read more... ) -
At least we're definitely done with Ro and holodeck episodes now
This represents the last full disc of TNG episodes. All that's left is the two-part finale.

ALL of these are nerdy and shameful

I've never used it, I barely know how it works. And I kind of hate it. Nevertheless, I have a bid in on a Feyd action figure and I can safely say my stupidity is ( Read more... ) -
A lemur or a pygmy marmoset
Finally! Bases-ball took up much of my TV watching time over the last few weeks, but it's over, and now disc 5 is done. Recall that two of the consensus worst episodes in the series were awaiting me. They did not disappoint. These reviews all got kinda long, so I'm taking the unprecedented step of FORMATTING them. You're welcome ( Read more... ) -

Now, if I could only talk about music intelligently, I would really be onto something
I'm engaged in a pointless project to clarify my 100 favorite albums of all time. Actually I was just listing them out in a rough order to see how things fell, and I've ended up listing about 170 total, but towards the bottom they get a little more vague: things I've only heard a few times, things I haven't heard in a long time, things where I ( Read more... )
