Hey kids, time to play Gulf War II.
Also, Bush is no Nazi. Honest.
Best line in there, and one I wish all Americans would really meditate on: “America doesn’t start wars, we end them.”

Cleanup
I’m not the cleanest person in the world. No, scratch that, I’m downright messy. Here are some shots of my work area, with “stuff’ strewn about everywhere.
Before:
Every once in a while I’ll get off my butt and actually start cleaning up. This weekend Mel & I did a massive effort to clean up the office area, and the results are pretty impressive. I finally said goodbye to all my game and software boxes that contained nothing and took up heaps of space in the closet.
After:
The Comix
I’ve already got Scott Kurtz’s PVP linked, so you know I like his work, but his Matrix parody in the print issue of PVP #5 is brilliant and is now available online in its entirety for free.
You owe it to yourself to check it out.
Stars Fall
Woke up this morning to the news of the shuttle Columbia shattering on reentry and don’t quite know what to say.
Part of me is detached and logical with an “if you want to make an omelette…” kind of viewpoint, another part worried that this might slow down space exploration, and another just plain old sad for the astronauts that lost their lives doing great things and their families.
From all of me to the survivors of the shuttle incident, whether they be families who have lost their loved ones, or workers that have lost friends, my sympathies.
“If we die, we want people to accept it. We’re in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life.”
- Virgil I. Grissom, March, 1965. Grissom later died in the capsule fire in Apollo 1.
Edit: Here is an article with bios on the seven astronauts.
Which OS Are You?
I am:
Which OS are You?
You stupid, stupid bastard.
Here’s a Globe & Mail article about how a Counterstrike player in VANCOUVER was shot AND KILLED by another player.
First off, we’ve got strict gun laws, so what the FUCK?
Second, if you get so angry about getting your ass handed to you in a FUCKING GAME, you’re one of the biggest losers in the world.
This both saddens and angers me.
It makes me want to put on my bat costume and go out hunting.
Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot.
The Ultimate Gaming Table
Wow. Check out The Ultimate Gaming Table and tell me you don’t want something like that.
That has put me in mind to make one. Not quite as involved or huge, as we don’t have the space.
Then again, Mel wants a new bed, and I want to make a cool modular one like this one at Sears. I’m a big pragmatist when it comes to furniture.
Too much to do, never enough time. Or in this case, skill — I’m a total n00b when it comes to woodwork, but I enjoyed building the Chinchilla Cage last year and have been looking for something new to make.
Madness
I wish I could do stuff like this. Well, maybe I could, but I wish I had the time.
Wedding Pictures
I’ve finally got more wedding pictures online. MUCH more, and in a much nicer format, thanks to Gallery, a great PHP gallery program.
Until I installed Gallery, I didn’t realize that digicams stored date/time information as an EXIF tag. Gallery can read the EXIF information and it allowed me to easily sort the photos by date/time, which was great because they came from four different digicams.
You learn something new every day.

Mel’s so awesome. Just had to say.
