So, forget about hanging out with part of the family, both old and new, tonight.
My friend Kat was trying to relay some bit of information to me tonight, and I apparently kept interrupting her about a name/idea for derby that I had come up with. She called me out on it.
In the short amount of […]
On Saturday, I learned through the bike shop that my friend Gene’s wife, Marcy, had suffered a serious stroke. The next day, a Slashdot article on communicating with hospitalized people was put on their main page, and I sent it to Tim who had been visiting Marcy and their family.
Through the subsequent comments/links to […]
I haven’t gotten around to that. So in lieu, three things:
Congrats to Mikey, whose team will compete in the DARPA Grand Challenge with two new friends/hashers of mine, Just Matt and and Just Aaron. Go Team Gray!
Tomorrow is the Red Dress Run.
Secondly, tonight is the first Saints home game of the season! Who Dat!, Bitches!
So, by now, I’m sure you are are familiar with the concepts of LOLCats (wiki, ICHC?, more, LJ Cat Macros).
Well, not all that long ago, a friend of mine put up a bunch of pictures of her new kittehs. With permission, I created a new lolcat, and submitted it to I Can Has Cheezburger?:

So, a couple of new bits of goodness in the Harry Potterverse:
1) I have a press pass to Phoenix Rising: a conference devoted to all things Harry Potter, will fuse the intensity of academic debate with the improvisation of exploratory dialogue, the rhythms of New Orleans with the colors and pageantry of art. The conference […]
So, I decided to recently take a look at the box that runs my email, in addition to running DNS and some web for me. It’s not a very beefy box by any means, but it’s been stable as hell for a long time. By a long time, I mean ~9 years - it’s a […]
Yesterday was, well, nerdly. The bulk of the Late Night Krewe™ (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Big Easy Rollergirls), went on a Turtle-fueled movie binge.
Here’s my day yesterday in a nutshell:
Wake up, have a coffee, have a beer. Drive to Harahan (to Bea’s house). Play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters while snacking on food […]
Somehow, in yesterday’s brief recap, I failed to mention something:
I watched the last SG-1 Episode, ever.
Sad Panda.
I’ve always been into Egyptian Mythology, and I remembered liking the Stargate movie when I first started watching the show, how ever many years ago. Season 10 is complete, and the show no more.
Luckily, there are 2 movies in […]
Ok, I know we’re leaving cold season and I wouldn’t be able to wear this for a while, but if someone would knit me this, I’d love them forever:
And if possible, this is what I’d want it to say:

Big ups to Wil Wheaton for the find.
