Upgraded to WP 2.2 and the new version of Scott Wallick’s Sandbox theme (chock full o’ semantic classes). In the process I managed to lose the stylings for co-blogger JMD’s posts, and probably hosed a few other things as well. I’ve got a couple of ideas for a design here, but need to look under [...]
We call it Riding the Gravy Train:
I devoted six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian government to estimate carbon emissions from land use change and forestry. When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty conclusive, but since then new evidence has weakened that [...]
Via Instapundit, this gem, which will no doubt be incorporated into a “plot” by the end of the week:
The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one [...]
The British are coming! The British are coming!
Director Mike Figgis spent longer at LAX airport than intended. He’d arrived in Los Angeles, along with half the acting and directing world, for what is known as ‘pilot season’, when the big studios try out new scripts, directors and actors in a two-week frenzy of auditions and [...]
Lots of women dressed up as slave woman Princess Leia. YES!
Some idiot dresses his 2 year old daughter up as “Slave Girl Leia” as well and chucks her in front of the camera. Jon Benet, meet the fanboys. NOOOOOOOOOO!
Japan Establish “Nobel Prize” for Manga Tentacle Porn:
The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday established on Tuesday the manga world’s equivalent of a Nobel Prize for up-and-coming non-Japanese manga artists as a way to boost the country’s diplomacy through pop culture. Foreign Minister Taro Aso, known to be a manga aficionado, said in a news conference that [...]
The comedy gold at dispatches from TJICistan demonstrates that reality is funnier than anything you could ever hope to say about it.
(I was going to title this post “Your Honor, may I approach the benchpress?” but remembered google likes title tags.)
Just a quick follow up to this post.
Last Sunday I filled out the recall form of Acer’s web site. It told me to that it would take up to five weeks for replacement. That’s five weeks with a laptop with not battery. On Monday I was notified a package shipped, and [...]
I wonder if you can hook one of these up to a Ford F150.
Reminds me of the Tie Fighter pilots in SW.
Striped pants of FURY: The Outbursts of Everett True. Second one down from the top of the page (behind the link) is obviously the TJIC of a less gentle era.

TJIC is more fun at lunchtime (“smash the state!”) than dinnertime (“zzzzzz!”):
Friday: Sushi and good times with Jared and TJIC, followed by what was supposed to be bowling but instead turned into a viewing of The Big Lebowski. During the movie, someone starts snoring, and I’m not sure if it’s one of the two human [...]
When a new senator places his hand on the book to be sworn in, very few realize it is actually the Necronomicon until Cheney laughs and tells them “you’re mine now”.
A funny xkcd that’s gone pretty far and wide. Much better than “A quick brown fox…”
Spinal Tap is back for the “Live Earth” concert in Wembley Stadium. Retard Rob Reiner has made a new 15 min. Tap short film. He’s trying too hard, but the band’s still funny.
