At least the title might keep some of those with delicate sensibilities from invading my space for a few moments. Today is Blasphemy Day! Blasphemy Day International is a …

Sarah McLachlan’s Possession: Simply Awesome

There are a couple studio versions of this particular song, and several live versions. This live version is, without a doubt, my favorite. The raw emotion she displays while singing and playing this song is simply awe-inspiring. One other bit that really makes me enjoy it even more is when she describes the song in …

Cheating on YouTube: HowTheWorldWorks is a fucking bitch.

Thunderf00t does a wonderful job of pointing out the flaws inherent in YouTube’s system. Watch, and enjoy. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqnUBz5sbik Yes, indeed. HowTheWorldWorks is a fucking bitch. Funny that it doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Unfortunately, that leaves us with fewer days throughout the year for celebrations. I think it’s a good idea to make up for it by celebrating more heartily on other days, like birthdays.

Moot Point - from Dueling Analogs - Copyright 2009 Steve Napierski

I wasn’t aware of what was causing the problem with Twitter late last week, only that there was a problem. Some of you just won’t get it. You might have to have some knowledge of /b/ to truly appreciate the genius of this comic. There are some details on the comic’s original page, Moot Point, …

Remember that text you shouldn’t have sent last night?

Somebody does. I came across texts from last night a while back, and hadn’t been back for several weeks. It continues to remind me that although some things change (like lots of people texting all the time now), some things never do. Warning: Some of the language may not be safe for work. The way …

I just know this is going to offend someone…

My wife came across this video at another site tonight, and I simply had to post it here. First, let me say that I’m a Pink Floyd fan. I’m not a rabid fan, and I’ve never seen them in concert, but I really enjoy listening to their music. Second, I’m a fan of languages. I …
