I love this video mashup of Lost and The A-Team. I might even like it better than the actual third season of “Lost” so far!

Protolariat
This entry stems entirely from a gross misspelling/mishandling of the word “proletariat” on my part. “Protolariat” is not a real word; if you search for it nothing comes up. What better opportunity to create a new word and be the only search engine result for it? 🙂 So, what should the definition be? I’m thinking… Continue reading Protolariat
Kids + illness + birthday = entirely too busy
The “illness” referred to in the title above is our daughter’s; she isn’t seriously sick but has this cough that really kicks in after she’s been asleep for a few hours, and this happens two or three times a night. It really sucks to have your sleep punctured every couple of hours to go administer… Continue reading Kids + illness + birthday = entirely too busy
More Lost braindump
No, this won’t be quite the rant I did last week, just thoughts since watching tonight’s episode of “Lost.” In particular I thought tonight’s Eko-centric episode was far better than last week’s, but most of this is just braindump. Maybe some ranting. And oh yeah, huge spoilers. Huge spoilers ahead, don’t say I didn’t warn… Continue reading More Lost braindump
An appropriate image?
I’m not sure what this might say about me, but when I was reading this KTVZ story about the utterly ridiculous Measure 37 claim on the Newberry Volcanic Monument, I couldn’t help but think the image filed with the story looks like a skull: See the eyesockets? Yeah, that’s messed up. Oh and FYI, Measure… Continue reading An appropriate image?
Best. Party. EVAR!!!!!11!1
C’mon, with a title like that, how could it not be? “It” being the Halloween party we went to last night. Costumes, booze, food, and friends. And a giant inflatable Scooby Doo. (Yes, it was this same Scooby.)Â Although this year, perhaps the title of this post should be, “Oh my God, they killed Scooby!… Continue reading Best. Party. EVAR!!!!!11!1
Lost rant (four episodes in)
Okay, I’ve managed to hold out for the first four episodes of “Lost” this season, but after tonight I couldn’t resist it any longer. It’s a rant. It’s gonna be spoilerish, and long-winded, usual disclaimers apply, etc. etc. Only click through if you’re ready.
Robot garbage can
That’s the new toy in the house from this weekend: a garbage can whose lid opens automatically (via infrared sensor). It was from Costco, but I can’t find it on their site to pull up a picture; and since I’m too lazy to go look at the brand on the actual thing itself, you’ll just… Continue reading Robot garbage can
Book report
I’ve been on a reading tear over the summer, mostly all good books, and I thought I’d be a little self-indulgent and list what I’ve read with some comments. Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle: Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World. It clocks in at something like 3,000 pages total, but it was by… Continue reading Book report
Derivatives
Cyberpunk: Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, noted for its focus on “high tech and low life” and taking its name from the combination of cybernetics and punk. It features advanced science such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or a radical change in the social order. Cyberpunk writers… Continue reading Derivatives
