See this guy?
He was a famed English astronomer, mathematician, geologist, and physicist, among several other job titles. His name is Edmond Halley and he accurately predicted the period of that famous comet named after him, called 1P/Halley but most people just call it Halley’s Comet. It’ll be back in 2061, do you expect to see [...]
Let’s rewind one year.
I wrote an open letter to whoever is responsible for this abomination of a holiday. I am pleased to say that I continue to hold the utmost contempt for a pointless holiday that serves no other purpose than to empty people’s pockets. Commercialism at its best.
So St. Valentine, whoever you are, again, [...]
I’m going to show you a picture.
Not only will I show you a picture, but I want you to say aloud what this guy is. Like, as in race. Difficulty: don’t offend anyone.
If you said “African-American”, I want you to immediately run to the nearest cliff with jagged rocks at its base and jump off. [...]
Earlier this evening while I was wearing my “garbage man” hat at the LRB, I noticed a sort of memo/form letter one prints out to send to a lawmaker or what have you. It said something to the effect that once Obama takes office, he will try to legalize abortion and that this “systematic murder” [...]
Unsurprisingly, I have a beef with Google. I am no stranger to beefs with Google. However, this one is a bit more vain than previously.
Owensboro recently was blessed by the Google-gods with Street View. Exciting, exciting, exciting. What does one do upon their first visit to Street View? They look for their house. However, I [...]
It seems to me like the McCain campaign is just descending to new levels when it comes to making their case for the presidency. I was looking through my Facebook news feed earlier, when Steve Metzger posted a link to an article on Politico. I was treated to an advertisement for the McCain campaign, and [...]
If you happen to pick up a copy of today’s Messenger-Inquirer, on the front page of the Venue section you will find a story about Twitter, complete with my ugly mug which also accompanies this blog post. I met on Tuesday with Beth Wilberding and Jenny Sevcik and spoke to them about Twitter, what it [...]
I’ve never been much of a fan of the Republican Party. However, political preference aside, you can’t help but be endlessly entertained by some of the things they do. Here’s a chance we all have to poke a little fun at people in power.
At work today, we received a fax from the National Republican Congressional [...]
If you live in Owensboro, I don’t need to tell you what happened at one second before 4:37 this morning. However, for the sake of those who do not, we had an earthquake. It measured 5.4 5.2 on the Richter scale, and it lasted about ten seconds. People from California are probably saying “psh, pussies” [...]
I’ve been trying to listen to my PodsafeRadio.net internet stream all day. And my wireless router (a D-Link DI-614+) is so slow, it makes the stream skip. Please take this graph into consideration:
The internet connection is Time Warner Cable’s standard 5 Mbps residential service. The PSR stream is a measly 96 Kbps, barely twice the [...]
