This is strange. I keep checking my website to see if it's been updated lately... Nope. I haven't written anything new, yet. Awesome jazz concert tonight. Putter, putter... only one more hour until I can check today's HTTP statistics. I've... Keep reading this entry »
Today in Judge Parker... WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO SOPHIE!!! says Bunny. She is still hanging on to the car door, but it's beginning to look more like a tire iron. Spencer's mind is drifting... drifting... WHAT ARE... Keep reading this entry »
Umm. I went to bed at 11:30... no... It was one of those half-awake things... no... Feeling restless this early morn', I checked my online stats... no... Oh fuck it, here I go with some HTTP shit: 596 /~pete1931/ 583... Keep reading this entry »
T. Zenner has brought to my attention the following timely synergy. A recent entry at the Straight Dope asks if you can get high smoking banana peels. I punched bananadine into Google.com. Seconds later I was looking at the following... Keep reading this entry »
The chicks in Judge Parker are hot. They've got this whole aloof snobbiness to them that is absolutely irresistible, not to mention a unique fashion style that rivals the homeless grab bag special at Salvation Army. Today, Spencer is wearing... Keep reading this entry »
Geez, what's wrong with you people? Yesterday, mind you on the weekend, I got 44 page requests. Don't you have better things to do than read this drivel? Away! Away with you! If it keeps up like this I will... Keep reading this entry »
Cool, cool, cool. USS Clueless speaks on the age of the universe, and the potential implications of knowing such facts. Cowboy Bebop takes place in 2071. I will be 91 years old and one sour coot if I'm not living... Keep reading this entry »
Running a website is like having a peach. You hold the peach, make a little room for the ant to hide, squeeze the peach and dream about you... woman. More specifically, you become the ant. You make a little virtual... Keep reading this entry »
This one's going out, so please bear with. Often times in techno-thriller movies they have a scene where the Big Suit busybodies are watching a blurry videotape. The guy in the mustache always squints closer to the screen, pats the... Keep reading this entry »
Why school bores me, in one spicy paragraph: This writer feels much of academia and the media throughout the Anglosphere has come to resemble, in a way, the Church in Europe immediately before the Reformation. They have grown intellectually lazy,... Keep reading this entry »
Grilling season was here last week but I was unarmed. The weather was beautiful, and I was outfitted with bottles of savory juices but no meat. I had plenty of ammo but no guns. A pile of ordinance but no... Keep reading this entry »
Do this! Do, do, do, do! Which Monty Python Character are YOU????>?>>?!?!?! I'm not telling who I am! You will get to guess! Guess which one I am? GUESS GUESS GUESS. GEHS, GEISS, STRESS, MESS, FESS, UNDRESS, QUANTUM FRIVOLITIES!! Oh... Keep reading this entry »
Pulled this here this from this: Piles are living, breathing archives. Over time, they get broken down and resorted, sometimes chronologically and sometimes thematically... the messy desk is not necessarily a sign of disorganization. It may be a sign of... Keep reading this entry »
The only car built in the last 40 years that is worth owning is available here. The Mini Cooper. They managed to make cars beautiful again, and I can't stop oggling. This is the future of auto manufacturing, my friends,... Keep reading this entry »
A well-rounded cocktail of drugs and orange juice has me almost on top of things again. Reality no longer grates like a power sander across my brain. Figured out how to keep Premiere from crashing (it seems that the prog... Keep reading this entry »
Ill. The condition, not the state. Perhaps the state, but definitely not the state. My brain feels like it's clogged with Spam and all I want to do is nap, but the cold/flu/mono/strep/meningitis is to the point that the bed... Keep reading this entry »
Any time the topic of drinking (or under-age drinking, or partying, or just the off-hand comment on college students) crops up, the city (or Duluth News Tribune, or Chancellor, or Administration) always makes reference to Ken Christensen, who sadly drowned... Keep reading this entry »
Drizzle. So light you can't tell whether it's raining or your skin is tingling. My spellchecker did not recognise the following words: Bio Blog Blogger Bling Comin' Email Gol' Poo PHP Verificationism Weblogs It does now. ...or does it? [cue... Keep reading this entry »
Neat. I just peaked at the source code for Little Green Footballs, which can be like looking up a girl's skirt if you're a pathetic web geek. The nice thing about LGF is Charles adds little explanations in the HTML... Keep reading this entry »
I'm slowly becoming ubiquitous in this beautiful city, this charming town. I'm Vice King Geek, I write for the Statesman and the RipSaw (well, once), I wear pope hats and powder blue suitcoats, I maintain a dishonorable website... And I... Keep reading this entry »
Everything you need to know about evolution but were afraid to ask. According to verificationism, not only is there no proof for evolution, but the concept itself is a meaningless utterance. Evolution tries to explain a history that is no... Keep reading this entry »
Whoa, funny how that works. I ate lunch, edited some video, went to the philosophy office to convince the Main U to wire checks for my research project, came back, edited some more video, called University Liquors, fired up some... Keep reading this entry »
Hmm... things under Bio are looking nicer. A few more Links under Slapdash as well, including some blogs I've kept secret (and ignored) until now. Next comes Outside. She's an ugly critter; needs a good crowbar across the face. The... Keep reading this entry »
This morning instead of breakfast I'm working on our philosophy video and some really cool things are falling together. I have some footage of the streetlights at Lake and Superior, changing from green to red in time to the logy... Keep reading this entry »
Stupid homework. Even my yellow superhero goggles aren't making this fun. Computer keeps crashing when I try to edit video and talk on IM and check email and write papers at the same time. Solution? Don't write papers. A skunk... Keep reading this entry »
Really nice piece on morality and dogma over at USS Clueless. I can't wait to use that burden of proof argument. Soon I will be an unstoppable juggernaut of logic and rationality, churning out words like a hamburger plant churns... Keep reading this entry »
Check out pronolize.com. Then check out my site pr0n0l1z3d. News sites like CNN.com are really fun, too. Please make note of this entry, as it is the first time I've separated multiple entries on the same day. The original goal... Keep reading this entry »
Sorry about this. It's a beautiful day, but these things just shoot outta nowhere. Soon I will sequence my rants on Academia so you can choke them all down. It will be a book, and no one will buy it.... Keep reading this entry »
Waiting for one of my three Geek Prom dates to return from a Russia meeting I got antsy, and dashed off to prom alone. Walking to the NorShore I ran into some people hanging around outside that were well-dressed... did... Keep reading this entry »
So exhausted. Computer coming back together. Homework not done. Stunning video shot down on Park Point today. Calving glaciers and ice cliffs. Bergs being tossed around in the surf. New Art Attack. 2:23 PM This has felt like the longest... Keep reading this entry »
Currently in Editing class, and I just got hit by the Shakes of Exhaustion. Went to bed last night around 1:00, and my roommate's alarm clock went off at 5:15 and continued to blare morning radio at 10 minute intervals... Keep reading this entry »
Just watched the Ticket Bitch write out a ticket for someone parked at an expired meter. Three seconds after she finished he showed up to his car. A few angry hand gestures were exchanged, and he drove off. Hmm. What... Keep reading this entry »
Today's stellar question: "Are you, you?"... Keep reading this entry »
BIOS CHECKSUM ERROR No interpretation of that message could ever imply something good. Further research into the matter proves it. It's been a wild, wild weekend. Saturday we drove up the North Shore, and got as far as Arrowhead before... Keep reading this entry »
80 gig hard drive installed. Started ghosting the 10 gigger over at midnight, and right about the time Doug came home from a party I woke up to finish the job. 7200 RPM is wicked fast: Sunny Wicked fast. This... Keep reading this entry »
My cotton socks are sublimating that sweet smell of decaying garbage. Before I know it they'll turn into fruit. I really need to clean this room. I was reading Cat's Cradle yesterday, and right as I read the word 'bartender'... Keep reading this entry »
Wiki, wiki. Gotta eat this morning. Last night I wrote a novel as I slept, and it was one screwed up piece of work; and that's all I remember about it. I've heard people say you can't read while dreaming,... Keep reading this entry »
It was to be a short trip to Miller Hill and Best Buy. It became a three-hour whirling dervish of composing hip-hop at Schmitt Music, detuning a five-string electric mandolin, playing church hymns with a wonderful organ sample, pawing through... Keep reading this entry »
A pleasant day. Reporting at 8:00 was cancelled, replaced by 9:00 peer conferences for our stories (including my Zion article for the Ripsaw) due this Friday. I sprung out of bed at 7:30 without electronic means, and puttered around until... Keep reading this entry »
