Rampant Exclamations

This made me giggle

In Mexico, a donkey was put in jail for 3 days, for biting and kicking two people.  In America it probably would have been put to sleep; in Texas, put to shotgun blast to the head.  You think the Mexican authorities really thought jail would teach this donkey a lesson?  According to the article they’ve also [...]

Here’s something funny!

Greetings!  I’ll have my new comic up as soon as I get home, but I thought I might quickly share an article that made me smile.  It’s about an old balding alpha male penguin at an aquarium who didn’t like swimming anymore because the loss of feathers made him too cold.  Awwwww!  :(  So what [...]

Welcome to Spring!  The real Spring, you know, the kind that’s warm and doesn’t have you scraping ice off your car every morning.  A new comic will be up later today, but I simply couldn’t continue my day without sharing something that will, undoubtedly, make the rest of my day a disappointment in comparison.  For [...]

Spring, my ass. If I have to scrape my windows off in the morning (because it’s 27 degrees!) it’s not spring yet. Winter’s death throes are especially long this year.
Or so it seems. Maybe it’s just me.

- Lifehacker has a nerdy little rundown of 10 software Easter eggs, including the Excel ‘97 flight simulator and [...]

I figure I should mention this: it’s about to be a fairly busy two or three weeks at work as we churn out another release, so you may not see much in the way of posts from me because oftentimes I’m working from the minute I get here until I leave.
Plus, well, sometimes I just [...]

- The Day After Tomorrow? Not quite - these pictures are actually from a ship graveyard near Kamchatka, in Russia. Behold, rusting monoliths sinking in ice. It’s kind of nifty, really.
- How to improve your memory using the ‘Memory Palace’ technique. The reader’s digest version: you find a place that you can picture very clearly [...]

Let’s give a hearty welcome back to Greg and Will, who have now returned from the wild wild west, presumably flush with cash and disdain for our region which has only recently discovered the joy of 60+ degree temperatures (and by ‘recently,’ I mean ‘it’s supposed to be 64 today’). It’s good to have you [...]
