Looking For Quacks In The Pavement

  • Website Geekery Update

    Just a few tidbits, really.

    • Even though I’ve been capable of syndication for months now, it never occurred to me to put the link up. Whoops. Off to the right you can now see the regular RSS 0.91 feed link as well as the Radio/Amphetadesk/etc clickable “add me” XML link. Syndicate away, kiddies.
    • Amphetadesk rocks. I can get a summary view of half my daily journal/blog/thingie reads with no effort at all. If you haven’t tried it, and you read more than a half-dozen syndication-friendly websites a day, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.
    • Disgusted with the design-rot prevalent in my ancillary pages, I finally did the smart thing and went to a header/footer/content includes structure. Now the main journal, the bio, the geegaws, the downloads and the two surveys all share all design elements. Changes made to the header and footer reflect across the site. Or, they will once I get bored enough to make the change to all of the TMTT and NaNoWriMo pages…

  • BlogShares goes live

    Huzzah! Now that it’s May, I can buy shares again!

    Confused? Just take a look at what this website is worth.

    Now I just need to figure out how we can drive up the value of Mari’s thingie so I can buy shares in it…

  • Ins and Outs at the Kerezman Abode

    All kinds of folk are dropping by our place lately. Just yesterday, my “long-lost” cousin Angela brought her husband and one of her children to visit with Wendi for a while. I’m told everyone had a nice time, and Angie wants my help writing a book about her early life. Too bad I don’t remember much from those days…

    Last night Geoffrey came over for a couple hours’ worth of gamer-geek fun, starring aliens and predators. I will say this: The Marines in AvP2 get some really nifty hardware. The Aliens hide very, very well. The Predators… well, I haven’t tried them very much yet. I’ll find out and get back to you, if you’re really curious.

    Tonight, Mari’s due over for a couple hours of Cowboy Bebop so she knows what’s going on before seeing the movie. She’ll meet Spike, Jet, Ein and Faye, but sadly not Edward. Such is life. She’ll at least be ready for the movie on Sunday.

    I think I like being host to friends and family. Yeah. So who wants to come over next?

  • I always knew I was going to hell…

    Doesn’t this sound like a nice place to spend one’s afterlife…

    Sixth Level of Hell – The City of Dis

    You approach Satan’s wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

    The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell – The City of Dis!
    Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

    Level Score
    Purgatory (Repenting Believers) Very Low
    Level 1 – Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) Very Low
    Level 2 (Lustful) Very High
    Level 3 (Gluttonous) Moderate
    Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) Low
    Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) Very High
    Level 6 – The City of Dis (Heretics) Extreme
    Level 7 (Violent) High
    Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) High
    Level 9 – Cocytus (Treacherous) High

    Take the Dante’s Inferno Hell Test

    Thanks (?) to Mari for leading us to eternal suffering…

  • Date Night!

    We almost didn’t have a babysitter, but in the end things worked out so Wendi and I could go on our “dinner and a movie” date.

    Dinner was Chang’s, but before we went to the restaurant I suggested stopping in at Jantzen Beach “mall” (boy, has that place dried up) to track down the game-trading store that Qwest’s website insisted was present. Nope, but there’s a very neat hobby store that Wendi and I strolled through very, very slowly… yum.

    After we gorged ourselves at Chang’s (again, yum) we decided that since neither of us had any better ideas we’d just head for the theater and see what we could find. Of the three movies Wendi wanted to see, the only one I found appealing was Bulletproof Monk.

    Here’s the short review, since it’s not worth the full treatment: Overall a light, fun little movie, doesn’t take itself too seriously, but plays it straight and cool except for the really campy bits (mainly anything involving the Nazis), but when it’s over you’ve had a good time. This one’s a rental, not one to own.

    I’ll close with a silly phrase I came up with while wandering around Jantzen Beach “Mall.”

    Much like there is no ‘I’ in ‘team,’ there is also no ‘Y’ in ‘love.’

    Pithy, wot?

  • It’s been a while…

    Found… damned near everywhere, so I won’t bother linking.
