Clearly Not At All

January 30th, 2008

I think perhaps one of the most annoying things about the news, television news in particular, is the infuriating tendency to mis-pronounce things. One of my favorite things to hate hearing them say is “Blytheville”. Even though the correct pronunciation is “Blythe Ville” with two clear and distinct syllables, most of the on [...]

I’m Taking a break from the normal routine here to talk (well, ok, write.) about a good cause. it’s called “Car Angel”. They’re a ministry that uses the proceeds from the sale of donated cars to fund the creation of Children’s DVD’s, Anti-Drug movies and more. These DVD’s are distributed free to [...]

Is It That Time Of Year Again?

January 27th, 2008

Apparently it is, although I think that fewer people know about it than before. What with as busy as the world has gotten I really believe that there’s a large percentage of people that pretty much never think about it at all. Yet here it is, constant and reliable in it’s appearance as [...]

Well, Nobody got literally shot but I assure you that the title of this post is entirely accurate. An employee of Steak and Shake has indeed managed by his stunning demonstration of how to be an insensitive idiot, to do a nice job of shooting the company in the foot
Backing up just a bit, [...]

AI Plays Video Games

January 22nd, 2008

When I saw this story on Robot World news I couldn’t help but wonder “WHY?”. Oh, I am not a hamster, I realize that it’s supposed to be a great breakthrough in AI programming but still, aren’t there enough people playing video games without getting the AIs into it as well?
I can just see [...]

While I didn’t watch the game tonight I’m going to comment on it anyway. First off I’m going to say right out that I wanted to see Green Bay win it. The resulting Super bowl would have been positively incredible. Besides which, I’d like to see Brett Favre have one more shot [...]

Lets NOT Send In The Clones

January 19th, 2008

I think by now most people have heard at least one mention of the recent announcement by the FDA that they’ve decided meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat. I also think that entirely too many people are giving this toping the “yeah… and?” treatment and I’m pretty sure that’s a [...]

I can’t say for certain, but I’m thinking that it’s possible that he, or perhaps the new number 1 guy at Microsoft, Steve Ballmer (you know, famous for having screaming obscenity laden fits over Google, Linux, Sun and other competitors… yeah, that guy.]
Why would I think something like that? Hey, I am not a [...]

Canning Operation

January 18th, 2008

I was reminded today of one summer back in the early 1970’s when my father decided that we were going to cash in on the monstrous number of beer cans casually tossed along the side of the freeway in Tulsa.
We would all pack into the car and head out with plastic trash bags and spend [...]
