No Grasp of Your Reality

An editorial in the Washington Post has endorsed Firefox as their browser of choice. Looking at my logs, I can see that many of you are using IE… perhaps the article will convince you to change. If you want to give it a go (what do you have to lose?), then click on the Firefox […]

Well, President Bush has won reelection, and I cannot say that I’m disappointed. The idea of John Kerry as President kinda scared me, especially since I couldn’t really predict what he would do. While I usually don’t care for many of President Bush’s decisions, at least he is a predictable neoconservative. Many of the Bush […]

You may have noticed that we’ve changed the name of our weblog. The title deserves an explanation. In his classic (and sadly underrated) movie, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Terry Gilliam truly created a masterpiece. In the course of the film, the leader of the city (played masterfully by Jonathan Pryce) accuses the Baron of […]

Sarah and I have arrived safely in Japan, after a really long flight. Door to door, it took 23 hours to get here. For the first time, I flew in the back of the plane with the common folk, and honestly, it really wasn’t that bad. It was tough to sleep, but I blame sitting […]

Cool! Go to World 66 to make a map of the countries you’ve visted! My map is below. Here are the states I’ve visited… Actually, World 66 looks like it could be a very cool site. It’s designed to be an “open content” travel guide, released under a Creative Commons license. I’m going to try […]

BoingBoing has an interesting article, calling for the secession of the yankee states. Even Chris Matthews noted on Tuesday night how the states that voted for Bush vs. those who voted for Kerry will split along lines that are hauntingly close to the demarcation between the Union and Confederacy. There was one comment at the […]

Blatently stolen from the National Review Online. —– A Liberal Republican Senator from Pennsylvania and a President — both running for reelection — need to cross a river. The Liberal Republican Senator asks the President to carry him across on his back. “But you’ll sting me,” says the President. “Of course I won’t, says the […]

I never actually calculated how effective the 9/11 attacks were financially for the Al-Qadea attackers. According to Bloomberg, the tactic of financially bankrupting the United States is viable, and has been a deliberate strategy of Al-Qadea. Bloomsberg writes in this article that the terrorist organization spent around $500,000 on the 9/11 attacks, and so far, […]

While I really don’t care much for Halloween, I thought this was a pretty cool design. Combine pumpkin carving with classic video games, and you get… 1upkin!

I could understand former Congressman Bob Barr’s thinking when he wrote the following recently: Voting for president used to be so easy, at least for a conservative. There was the Republican candidate. You knew he generally stood for lower taxes, less government spending, giving fewer powers to the government, lower deficits and a zealous regard […]

I think one of my bigger gripes is that so many excuses that are coming from Bush Administration about the whole Iraq war, and no one can just admit “We were wrong…”. As blogger Al Nye writes, “President Bush and his Administration never acknowledge making mistakes. In fact, Bush admits that even with hindsight, he […]

As I start to reach middle age, I’m starting to take notice of life’s smaller pleasures. Take, for instance, my Zebra Sarasa gel pen. Before I can explain the goodness that is this pen, I must first make sure you, the dear reader, can understand the history of my frustration with pens, mostly stemming from […]
