      Regular awesome: diving boards. Extremely awesome: people-flingin' catapults:

    • Seven Years Later
      published on Sep 11th, 2008 in Observations

      Today hurt. This beautiful Thursday was eerily reminiscent of that clear Tuesday seven years ago.
      I've little to say, other than that the Big Picture's collection of 9/11-related photos is well worth a look.

    • Master Your Vocabulary
      published on Sep 9th, 2008 in Friends, Humor, Politics

      …Or your vocabulary will become your master. Or summat like that, I dunno.
      Seems as though Aron was terribly, mysteriously ahead of the curve when he called out our current crop of politicians for their overuse of The Sphinx's favorite rhetorical device. Slate has put a name to the tactic (it's called antimetabole, [...]

      published on Sep 8th, 2008 in Music

      Regular readers will recall that I've had TEH HATEZ0Rs for WJJZ for a long time and, I must say, the only thing better than having it go off the air once is…

      published on Sep 4th, 2008 in Books, Humor, Military, Politics, Video Games, Videos

      …Heavy with links! It's time, folks, for another massive download of Links Of Interest that I've managed to pack-ratsave for your enjoyment, so here goes.
      Near-zero-G Mentos & Diet Coke! Yay, science!

      I've run into some funny automated censorship software in the past (the old America's Army forums had a particularly aggressive one, so much [...]

    • Cybernetic Change We Can Believe In
      published on Sep 2nd, 2008 in Humor, Politics, Television

      We've already noted the overt visual similarities between John McCain and Saul Tigh, but this weekend's All-Sarah-Palin-All-The-Time Media Circus caused several observant bloggers (whose names/URLs I've unfortunately Cmd+W'd and thus are lost to the ether) to note a not dissimilar look between Laura Roslin and Sarah Palin. This, of course, forced me to roll [...]

    • CPU Vs. GPU, Mythbusters-Style
      published on Aug 29th, 2008 in Science, Television, Videos

      By way of Extra Life, we have this awesome (albeit scientifically suspect) demonstration of traditional in-order execution on CPUs vs. the multi-core/GPU massively-parallel execution that is the New Hotness:

      Awesome, just awesome.
