  • There’s something fishy about this casemod…

    Thanks to friend Dawn up in Seattle for sending along the link to one of the more unusual casemods I’ve seen: the Aqua Tank.

    I’d get into casemodding, but it requires some things I lack, such as money and a certain facility with tools.

  • For those who look for hidden imagery in everyday things

    I agree with Speckz.com: “I don’t know where people come up with this…”

  • Progress Quest realms!

    At some point the people behind Progress Quest, the greatest computer game of all time, decided to split the multiplayer gaming into three realms. So now I feel somewhat obligated to have characters on each of those realms. Now when you check the stats for GreyDuck you get the rankings for any realms that my character is in. I’ve got a pretty good ranking in Knoram, the original realm…

  • You have 30 seconds to use the bathroom

    It isn’t exactly breaking news, but Wendi forwarded to me this 2600 article about how big media corporations view the practice of skipping commercials.

    What I especially love is the notion that I have a “contract with the network” when I watch television programming. Er, you said what? I don’t remember signing any contract, pal. I’m free to skip over your stupid commercials any time I want. Seriously.

  • I have to push the pram a lot…

    Thanks to Megan Denny here at the office for forwarding the link to the Lego Holy Grail movie.

  • Fun With Food – A Quotable Moment

    I have to thank Emily for providing me with some hearty laughter for my Monday:

    With a brief glance at my order pad, I tossed two wheat rolls and a breadstick in my bread basket and set off towards the table that asked for them. Halfway there I glanced into the basket, and well. The bread was not arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way. I mean, I had two round things and a stick thing in my bread basket. Yeah. It was an enriched-wheat phallus.

    That there is a Google search if ever I saw one.
