We’re Not Dead, Yet!

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

But we sure look like it, don’t we?

I’m working on some updates. And yes, trying to get the header back.

Hang in there…

Where No Man Has Gone Before? Not Likely…

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Newsweek, of all places, has a look back at 40 years of slash fanfiction.

If you don’t know, go read. The article is work safe, but some of the links may not be.

Speaking of the 25th Anniversary of the Mac…

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

mac_i4Or more properly, the Macintosh ad during the 1984 Super bowl. I thought I’d share this picture. We picked up an original Mac at a flea market several years ago. It works. This is the picture inside, of the signatures of everyone who worked on the computer. This was pressed into the plastic of every machine. Look around and you’ll probably recognize a few names.

Happy New Year – Just A Little Darned Late!

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

My first official WordPress glitch, folks! I had a pre-written post all ready to go and it vanished. Well, dang. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that I’m blonde, but let’s blame it on the new year. The clocks changing, whatever. Hey, it worked for Microsoft.

I had this lovely 100 year-old card ready to post:

Oh, well. Happy New Year, anyway.

Holiday Posting Schedule

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

You’ve probably noticed the lacl of posts the last few days.

You haven’t? Oh, just say you have. Tell me you’ve missed me.

At any rate, I’m spending a little time with family and getting my office area cleaned up. The cleanup may take some time as my office presently looks worse than Dorothy’s house after it landed in Oz. No Toto, but there are two cats looking at me expectantly as I type. It must be Treat Time. Oh, the cats always think it’s Treat Time, who are they fooling?

Anyway, I have updates queued for tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. I hope to have other updates through the week, but in the event I get buried under the piles of papers and books, at least you’ll know I care about you.

Really, I do.

Just a note to spammers: leaving your spam-filled comments in a post about spammers getting what they deserve isn’t going to work.

Early Daniel Craig

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

With Quantum of Solace about to hit the screens, I thought it might be fun to dig up some way pre-Bond Daniel Craig. This is from a film called Hotel Splendide, released in 2000:

He first shows up just before the one minute mark. Points to anyone who recognizes the rather oily dancer.
