A few link-worthy items that caught my eye but that I can’t squeeze a full post out of (yet)… The Real Oregon: a new(ish) blog subtitled “Oregon for the eccentric traveler.” Looks promising, with travel tidbits about Oregon that seem pretty interesting to me. How a $2 bottle transformed the wine industry: Charles Shaw wine… Continue reading Items of interest

Lost is dead to me.
Tonight’s lauded season finale of “Lost“? Yeah, there was 10, maybe 15 minutes out of the entire two hours that was any good. And those 10 or 15 minutes had to do with one thing and one thing only: revenge upon the Others. You want a rant? I got your rant right here… Spoilers ahoy.… Continue reading Lost is dead to me.
Hey Z21…
Could you try not to ruin whatever TV show is currently broadcasting by cutting in with no warning to report on tepid election results? I mean really, that’s just inept; every other station is able to scroll the election results in a marquee on the bottom of the screen, or even shrinks the main program… Continue reading Hey Z21…
Lost is officially done.
Yeah, I can’t help it. I have to say tonight’s episode of “Lost” jumped the shark. They just went all brain dead. Why? …well, check after the link. There’s spoilers, not that it matters I guess. Read more. So, this “Jacob” that Ben took Locke to was… an empty chair. In an empty room. And… Continue reading Lost is officially done.
lolcats
So have you been exposed to lolcats yet? If not, check out here and here. I can’t help it; they make me laugh. I mean really, really laugh. Especially the random ones.
Pop culture segue
Don’t let the title completely fool you, this entry is a rant, as much as anything else. And don’t think that I’m some sort of pop culture otaku; I’m usually behind the curve when it comes to such things, especially music. But I seem to consume a fair amount of it anyway, and so here… Continue reading Pop culture segue
Rajneesh
The news on KTVZ tonight about the former Rajneesh land being sold caught my ear and got me reflecting a bit on that particular period of weirdness in Central Oregon history. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a “dark day” in Oregon history like the interviewee on the news did, but it… Continue reading Rajneesh
jawdropping
(Pure geek post.) This is sick (not in the gross sense): 6502 compatible compiler and emulator in javascript. In JavaScript. If you don’t know what any of this means, that’s okay. I can’t hardly get my head around it either. Via JWZ.
Bend Bulletin’s RSS feed
Jake first found and posted this: the Bend Bulletin has their own official, bonafide RSS feed. It’s about time! That means I can finally take down my hacked-up RSS scraper feed for them. So, this is official notice that I’m deprecating my Bulletin RSS hackfeed, by implementing a redirect to the official feed, and then… Continue reading Bend Bulletin’s RSS feed
Lego skeletons are cool
We had a great spring break trip to San Diego last week, and while we took a bunch of pictures, there are three especially that I couldn’t resist posting here. Mostly because they’re so messed up and random. The first two are from Legoland. That place is like the Lego Disneyland—lots of rides and fun… Continue reading Lego skeletons are cool
