Well, ’tis the season, right? I didn’t ask for anything this year (except gifts for kids via Child’s Play Charity, my folks and my grandma each bought the kids a Nintendo Gamecube), and as a result, didn’t get much. Works for me. I did get one gift from my dad that’s pretty cool, and it… Continue reading The Golden Rule.

My Christmas gift to you, dear reader
It’s True. Women are the root of all evil.
Thanks to a friend’s post on “the elljay”, I saw the below image on the right, causing me to remark that Tori Spelling looks like a man (at least in that photo). Some image-matching subroutine in my brain matched this with an image of another actor, namely Tim Curry as The Lord of Darkness in… Continue reading It’s True. Women are the root of all evil.
Vertical stripes of #000000 and #FFFFFF
This Saturday, I again don my black and white vertical stripes. However, instead of a “custom jersey” (ie, fat sharpie lines drawn down my arms) circa the 2005 Shot Olympics, it will be a real jersey. That’s right kids, the one and only (and registered) Col. Panic™ will be a referee for the Big Easy… Continue reading Vertical stripes of #000000 and #FFFFFF
… and everybody’s soon to be having fun …
Wow. Just over two months till Mardi Gras. I can’t believe it. Time to start thinking about / working on a costume. St. Anthony Ramblers, what? My Treo brings you tidings of joy (also known as carnival stands in the CBD):
I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you. Who Dat?
Wow. A 42-17 victory over Dallas last night. Ladies, and gentlemen, football was not shown on NBC last night, but instead a special airing of Brokeback Mountain. Them Cowboys got fucked. Anyways, tomorrow I buy my playoff tickets and my season tickets for next year.
Child’s Play Charity
Tulane Hospital for Children in New Orleans has been added to the charity list! So, instead of buying me something, instead buy a game, movie, cd, etc. for a sick kid stuck in the hospital. Last year, I bought a Playstation 2 for the Texas Children’s Hospital, this year it’s the Lord of the Rings… Continue reading Child’s Play Charity
Spam Comment Cache-busting.
So, one of the issues I’ve seen with comment spam is the bots’ use of cached versions of blog/etc pages. While my new spam reduction method was pretty effective, it did nothing whatsoever to stop spamming via cached-pages. Since the older cached pages didn’t have the baited field, it didn’t submit a value for said… Continue reading Spam Comment Cache-busting.
Sometimes metal makes me angry.
I know, I know. Things have been sparse all up ins here. Things have been busy. Way Mega Busy™: 50% work, 50% alcohol, %20 football, -%25 sleep. My body is run down, I need rest. Anyways, I picked up albums by two of my favorite old-time heavies, Iron Maiden and Tom Waits. In 2000, we… Continue reading Sometimes metal makes me angry.
