One of the many stories I read today was, 'Strange Little Girls', a story he wrote as a companion piece to Tori Amos' album. About half way through the music at Chilis started playing Corn Flake Girl.... Read More
Man. I smoked enough last night to get cancer for the lung cancer I surely developed. Whooo for the cancer wash.
I need to clean out my car. I have a theory that all the trash I have in there has reached critical mass and formed a small black hole. I keep losing shit in my car never to find it again. My zippo, my... Read More
Seriously. What is the plural of Batman? If I were to say, "Michael Keaton and Christian Bale are the only two real....", Batmans or Batmen? Batmen just sounds silly, but seems grammatically more correct. School me internet friends.

Someone keeps trying to hack into my companies Unix box from a server in Korea. So far (s)he hasn't breached out server yet, but whoever it is has tried several times.

Unfortunately a vast majority of them require a great deal of intellect, but very little creativity. As such, I have decided... Read More

Uh, the light bulb idea is done with the main power OFF. All you are doing is making sure the wiring is complete (wires break inside sometimes) and if connection are making a closed circuit. I know how to use a multi-meter but I would have to come there. Where do you live? If it's not on the ground floor, does it have an elevator?
Well...I asked the lady who sent the Xbox I ordered to refund my money and she said no problem. So I went out and bought a brand spankin' new shiny system from best buy. Yeah, I paid more but I didn't want the hassle of the internet. Meanwhile, the bitch is taking her sweet time with the refund. She had me... Read More
