Saw this on PostSecret yesterday. Yes, I check that site every week. I guess it’s a guilty pleasure, knowing that no matter how many dumb things I’ve done, other people have done stupider things and more of them (and sent their stories to a guy who posts them on a high traffic site). But this [...]

Many, many years ago, I put this picture together with rather limited image editing skills. I’m putting it up here because I can’t think of anything else to post. I’m still not insanely great at using Gimp, even after all these years, partially because there are so many other things I have to do besides [...]

It’s a cow! No, it’s a horrible Elder Thing from beyond angled space! No, it’s some unnamed person using image editors to combine marine life with cattle! I picked up a copy of the local alternative paper and looked through it on the bus ride home Friday. I lived in Lansing for so long that [...]

I was apparently going for a cow theme and messed it up by posting a hamster picture yesterday. So, have another picture that has cattle in it. Not quite through Yellow yet. An interesting quote from it: If the racial profile is highly negative and widely accepted, then individuals who are affected by it should [...]

What did people do for bad puns before the advent of image editing programs? Not much exciting at work on Wednesday, which was a relief. Went to Steve’s that day, had dinner, talked about mailing list software, Mail Transfer Agents like postfix and sendmail and exim, wikis, blogs, forward and reverse DNS, and other useful [...]

Tuesday, the database had a cow. This doesn’t usually happen. It did ruin just about everyone’s lunch plans, which was annoying. It did get fixed—but I wasn’t the person who fixed it. The bus was also about 10 minutes late going from work to home. Oh well, I had a book to read, so it [...]

I hope this picture’s obvious. In totally different news, Trevor made a video. OK, he actually made the video years ago, but he’s now posted it to Youtube so that others can watch easily. It’s like a train wreck; you just can’t look away. And you know that someone (or lots of people) would actually [...]

This was the view from outside my condo at about 4:05pm Sunday. It can rain a lot in a short amount of time here during monsoon season. I had seen the clouds building up earlier in the afternoon, and thought that it’d be a great idea to get the grocery shopping done sooner rather than [...]

Attention billing departments: If you send me a bill that’s due on June 25, and its postmark reads “July 7″, guess what? You aren’t going to get your money on time. Billing is not rocket science, but you can’t leave it in the hands of untrained monkeys. This is happening more and more often, though, [...]

Putting the semi- famous Serious Cat on a campaign poster says . . . something about the political process. Was the creator of this image lampooning the innate stupidity of so much of modern politics? Was he just trying to create something snarky and funny? Is there really that much difference between the two activities? [...]
