An en-light-ening discussion

Daft punksSo yesterday, my wife dropped this item in my lap and said, “Here you go.” I pointed out that we’d already bought lights for this year, and besides, we still had lights left over from last year.

She shrugged and said “They’re indoor/outdoor, do whatever you want with them.”

I paused and stroked my chin thoughtfully. “Can I have that in writing with your signature on it?” I asked.

“No,” she said, and turned to go. “I’m not that dumb.”

Let there be lights

Dammit, people. I was so close to having all the resources I needed to start filming my spec pilot concept for Disney’s Tron Kitties.… Read more

Yes, I am that much of a geek

I recently got a new phone (way before Black Friday, mind, so no, I haven’t taken part in any retail stampedes), the first one I’ve had where the whole thing’s basically a touchscreen. It’s ridiculously customizable as far as caller images, wallpapers, event sounds, etc., so I’ve been, as they say, geeking out.

If you’re actually in my contact list, then believe it or not, you’ve got one of these graphics with your name on it:tomb of the unknown caller

Hey, my cat calls me a lot. 😆 (It’s pretty quick work to apply the individual name to the basic template. I may have had some free time on my hands today, but not that much.)

I whipped up a couple of geek-a-licious animated wallpapers as well; suffice to say, they’re in the same “universe.” I’ll show them off another time.… Read more

The pumpkin patch and other favorites

You know, I keep hearing about the pumpkin patch at this time of year, and it gets me worked up every year. How irresponsible of them to make the pumpkin so that the end user has to patch it immediately upon purchase. If they’d kept the pumpkin in beta long enough to work out the bugs, they could’ve shipped it as a working product. Ridiculous.

There once was a guy with a blog
Who was busy with a book o’ the log
The results are quite cool
You might even drool

Mano a mano? No! Robo a robo!

Hal vs. Vincent

Call it cinematic blasphemy all you like, but you know, this scenario would’ve prevented nearly all of the bad stuff in 2001 from happening. And Vincent would’ve been in a better movie than The Black Hole.

(If you think that’s an unlikely crossover, download the spring issue of theLogBook ‘zine, jump straight to page 16, and be prepared to say “I never thought of that before!” 😆 )… Read more

A lamentable lack of caffiene

You can see it in almost every picture here. More caffiene is required!

Little E and the O B
From the boy who didn’t want to stop wallowing all over his cat to get dressed…

Gabby
…to the dog who couldn’t be bothered to wake up in the guard shack…

…to …this. For some strange reason I decided to pay in cash today. If the little PIN pad thing is so sleepy that it shows us this, I’m worried that it’s going to try to charge me elebenty zillion quatloos*.

Phoneticmobile
You know we’re going downhill when the car manufacturers give up on poetic names for their products and just put phonetic spellings on them instead. (But I kid the owner of this unfortunate Mountaineer…)
