One of the more amusing fake-motivational posters available on the Net.
Yesterday morning, I walked out of my condo and saw that someone had stolen my doormat. All of my neighbors’ doormats had also been stolen. I don’t get this. It’s not like doormats have any resale value or anything. So it’s [...]

This Coke bottle is 4 stories tall, and the interior of it is a store selling all kinds of cheap Coke merchandise. It really sums up the touristy parts of Las Vegas in a lot of ways.
The autoconf and automake utilities have a real documentation gap. I thought autoheader was supposed to find [...]

More old raytracing pics. I tried to regenerate the good definition for the “X1″ spaceship that got deleted, and got this.
Been banging on my programming project. It’s almost in a semi-usable state. It needs tons of graphics and I’ve only drawn about 4 of those. The parts without graphics are working [...]

Vampire head drawing, done a very long time ago. This one didn’t turn out quite as well as I’d hoped.
I saw a foreclosure notice taped to the door of one of the condos in my building when I went to pick up the mail. How wonderful. In the months ahead, I wonder [...]

Here we see Adam Crack exploding a can of Pepsi using a bullwhip at the AZ Renaissance Fair yesterday. Sorry, this is the best picture of his act that I got, and the ones I took of the whips that were on fire were just not good at all.
The fair was interesting. Carpooled [...]

Well, it’s Easter, so here’s a captioned rabbit.
The Plan(tm) is to go to the Arizona Ren Faire today with Zach and Sara and John. This should be interesting. I’ve heard about these fairs but have never been to one. Hat, sunglasses, sense of humor, money, that ought to do it for preparation. [...]

Long ago, this was what the wall of my old office was like. I drew (or built the source in a text editor and then rendered, for the yin-yang, spaceships, and geometric solids + checkerboard metal) all the images displayed here. I took the paper down when the old company moved from Lansing [...]
