Disney vs Miyazaki
So Alvena, being five, loves pink and princesses and has Disney Princess curtains--and has no clue who any of them are. She did see "The Frog Prince" shortly after it came out (a long time ago, for her; I doubt she remembers it) and hasn't seen the others at all.
Of course Mike has no interest in Disney princesses, so, since he's at another base ( Read more... ) -
What's The Difference...
Between a button and a picture of a button?
A recent anecdote on notalwaysright.com has an IT person finally figuring out, after fifteen minutes of trouble-shooting over the phone with someone, that rather than following the illustrated directions they were emailed, they were actually clicking ON the screenshots they were sent.

"On Your Mark" let Miyazaki play with his storytelling through repetition and ( Read more... ) -
More Quiz Results...
...Apparently I am really good at Minecraft, although to be fair I did look up three answers on the MC wiki (the ones about how many blocks of wool; MC 2.0 (which I hadn't heard of); and what year it started development). Still, I knew exactly where to find the info, so that's something. Have to see if Karl can do any better; he knows the hex codes ( Read more... ) -
Still Alive; Skype, Not So Much
Hey, quick note to anyone who sees me on Skype; my Skype's been down since that last update. Should be getting a new machine soon though so I'll be back on then if not before. But I just wanted to let y'all know what was up.

Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!
--orrow! orrow!
I'm pretty sure the future has finally, actually arrived. I mean, we've had practical electric cars for an affordable price (i.e. not just a toy for millionaires) for a while now, and we have jetpacks (even if they don't go for a really long time or anything, and hardly anyone has one). But today I just found out about a thing that ( Read more... ) -

It's a poignant statement about why interfering with the "natural order of things" to try and prevent extinction matters, though.
