Yup. It works!

Let’s be honest – Obama is just flat out ignorant of the law.

January 28 1 Comment Category: ramblings

We heard a lot during the campaign that Obama was some sort of super genius and an constitutional law scholar. It turns out he was a middle of the road student who thinks we have 57 states and has the constitutional understanding of the mechanical chick Bugs Bunny used to hang around with.
In short, [...]

As some of you know, I ran out of my blood pressure meds about two weeks ago. Unfortunately the financial situation made getting it refilled something of a hassle*.
In the interim, my BP went back to where it wants to be on its own – about 185 over 130 or so. They tell me this [...]

One guy, real talent and 3DS Max. Not only is it technically outstanding but the cinematography is simply stunning.

A post I just made, including the text of the person I was replying to since it is open to the public.
“But I think now more and more that this is obviously intended, some stories must be told again and again that as many people as possible must understand.
With every tree that falls in [...]

Important note: Ok, OK. I’m probably an idiot. It is more and more clear that this @JFCameron account isn’t the esteemed James Cameron at all – but an impostor. If I wasn’t so interested in the sheer silliness of the comments in question I would have thought of that right off.
I am going to [...]

This is the (redacted) text of an email I sent to the folks I take consulting work for at Robert Half Technologies. I really, really like RHT and anyone who is a developer or media (Design, video whatever) type should hook up with them. Anyway, this is what I let them know about the new [...]

2012 and Twilight: New Moon

November 24 7 Comments Category: ramblings

Kimiko came back to NJ yesterday. After picking her up at the airport we decided to celebrate with a movie. Since we both enjoy seeing things blow up in CGI we figured 2012 would be a fun little film.
We were wrong.
Yeah, things blow up. An aircraft carrier rolls over the White House etc. The special [...]

Regarding Minions…

This was posted on a forum about the game Overlord 2, but it is worth applying to almost every aspect of your life.
How do I clean my Minion? For best results, treat your Minion like a rug: Hang them over a rail and beat them until no dust or dirt [...]

A sentiment worth remembering…

“It’s like a gnat trying to rape an elephant. Whatever pleasure the gnat derives from the experience, if the elephant notices at all, it’s only an itch.” – The other McCain

In short, don’t let the turkeys get you down.

Getting it back together…

Its been a while since we got fucked and slowly the pack is finding its equilibrium. It’s not OK, and in a very real way it won’t ever be OK but we are figuring it out. The dynamics are changing, shifting things as we all forge new and different connections to route around the damage.

Draw the curtain: Flagg

October 07 2 Comments Category: ramblings

“I have always thought of my brother as a friendly person living on top of another mountain. We would hail each other from time to time. Talk to each other across the distance and know that the other was always there.
He is a strobe across the firmament, uttering melodies and soft chants, explosions and strong [...]

Flagg update…

September 19 8 Comments Category: ramblings

May folks are curious about Flagg, since it is clear from my tweets that he is in the hospital (again). Looking back, it seems the privacy I accord him may leave some confused that he is “still” there from the transplant.
Nope – here is a rough order of events

Flagg had a double transplant, pancreas and [...]
