So good I can't comment on it....

Weezer on the Muppet Show (yes, I know it's not exactly the Muppet Show, but any music video with the Swedish Chef can't be that bad.

Those voices in your head may be real after all...

It may simply turn out to be a load of mites...

My favorite cartoon...

Or at least one of of my favorites - What's Opera Doc?

It can't be all that bad...

Don't let life get you down. You can bounce back from anything. Even losing your head. Like this woman.....

Dell gets sued

This is why I own a Gateway. The New York AG is suing Dell for deceptive advertising practices, and various and sundry other things that customers really find not to be pleasant. Some of my friends have Dells, and those are the ones that I'm called upon to fix. But my 6 1/2 year-old Gateway is still going strong. With the execption of the one time that I unplugged it without turning off the power strip, and I blew out my modem and sound card (about $100 to replace, too). Ouch.

Ok, I have just one question for you:

What's on your mind?

Some, shall we say, "very happy" mercahndise

See it here.  I have no comment.

RIP Wally Schirra

He flew in Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo (IIRC the only astronaut to do all three). He has died at age of 84. We've all lost a hero.

This is what happens when I get a day off....

Taken from near my apartment door. Note the clouds, rain, and a touch of hail.

Thous shalt no steal....

Ok, so this was only a bicycle, but still don't go stealing. Sting operations aren't for cop shows anymore...

I'm not dead yet....

Between working a string of extended shifts at my $dayjob and trying to rebuild my computer, it has been impossible to post anything of late.
