I stumbled across the following picture this morning and immediately thought it had to be the picture of the week/month/year:

Most of those who know me are aware that when I'm not being a crazy linux geek, I'm off being a sterotypical car geek. As part of this, I started working on a project car a few years ago with my dad and whilst its been slow progress, the light is finally at the end of the tunnel and we should have it on the road by the end of the year ( Read more... )

I've always been something of a closet grammar / punctuation nazi, albeit in a somewhat hypocritical manner at times (damn clumsy fingers). So today I got more excited than is probably normal upon discovering the interrobang. Simply put, the interrobang is a punctuation character that is used as a combination of ? and ( Read more... )

Well we've been back in the country for a few days now and had a chance to settle in once again (ie Go back to work). I've been meaning to get something down here to recount all the things that went on in the second two thirds of the trip, but there's so many that its all a bit overwhelming when I think about it ( Read more... )

For those interested in such things, I've begun work on a new project called Gloss which is an ( Read more... )

Due to the fact that Die Hard 4(.0?) is out, I decided a rewatching of the previous movies was in order. My personal favourite has always been no. 3, I think it is a perfect mix of cornball action movie and relatively well written script / story. Upon rewatching it though, I discovered something else it in that I could love ( Read more... )

Well, what can I say about this weekend other than that its been both wonderful and yet monstrously draining. For those unaware, mtl10 and myself threw an engagement party on Saturday night / afternoon which seems to have been fair success. It was a fairly small affair with only family and close friends, although its amazing how quickly these (And the ( Read more... )

OK, I know I don't post on here nearly as often as I should and that doing a 2nd post about getting angry at gameshows is bordering on obsessive, but damn it, someone in society has some splainin to do.

Last time my rant was about Family Fued and its 'public survey' results. Tonight is along a similar line but from The Richlist. Now I'm not sure ( Read more... )
