The eye of the beholder, and all that rot

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Via Cracked.com, I ran across an interesting article about a guy who threw away all his worldly possessions and wandered unprepared into the Alaska wilderness and starved to death. It’s worth checking out, but I can’t help but disagree with some the author’s assertions. He weaves together a compelling narrative, trying to tease out the [...]

Looks like I’m not getting that little Dell that I had my eyes on. Instead, they’ve ordered me one of these beauties: Jealous, much?

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

As I’ve aged, I’ve actually become much more mellow about grammar, spelling, pronunciation, and word usage. This is in part because I recognize (“reckanize”) that variance in language gives it flavour, and in part because I work with a large number of techies who can be ridiculously anal about things like code formatting but wouldn’t [...]
