I came across this interesting discussion on Plastic about an apparently anti-Islamic episode of the B.C. comic strip. I don’t have much time for the argument at hand, mostly because I don’t care, but I was appalled that the supposedly intelligent Plastic readership thought that a crescent moon on an outhouse door was anti-Islamic. Hello? […]

Who knew that Ludwig Wittgenstein was a composer? I’d love to hear this piece, even though it’s only 30 seconds long. I’d venture to say that Wittgenstein was one of the brightest people of the 20th century. Certainly there were specialists who achieved greatness in their fields, but examine the variety of things that he […]

Perhaps I’ve watched one too many X-Files, but I know I saw a black helicopter circling East Liberty tonight. I was riding home in the dark (since I went to the gym) along Penn Avenue when I heard the familiar whump whump whump of a helicopter overhead. I craned my neck to look at it, […]

While Burns is expected to recover fully pending medical treatment, his doctors advised him to sit out the 2004 campaign.

so move along. This space has been pretty quiet lately, due to the combination of doing more construction than programming at work (we’re still at least 3-4 days away from starting to power up servers or even the network) and my involvement in the local gym’s bouldering competition. But I will pass along some news […]

Sorry about the lack of activity here lately — we’re moving into new offices at work (which also entails me becoming a laborer for company, doing painting and other remodeling work) , and my workstation hasn’t been up for about four days, and we’re busy helping the local gym get ready for a climbing comp.
