Finally played with some of the low light settings on my digital camera:

Accompanying a genuine search result!

Ok, so it’s been 2 years since I updated this site. Not a great job updating, but I do intend to be better. I’ve found enough weird stuff to post that I think I’ve got a solution to the problem and can update with some small degree of regularity.

The site is now on Word Press so the various static links probably won’t work anymore. I’m ok with that.

The old rantings are all imported here so I don’t lose any enemies that I have already made, but the focus in the future will be on happier or at least more bizarre things. A little news of the weird, but also personally or nearly personally collected weirdness. Enjoy

This has to be the least helpful error message ever.

This year continues the Internet meme pumpkin tradition. The Strongbad-O-Lantern got lots of “Cool Pumpkin!” and “Wow!” but no real recognition. We did get one, “Is that a vampire or an owl?” Of course, it’s Strongbad from homestarrunner.com.

Admit it, given this:

You want it and you can get it here. No premium. Donate to charities that aren’t whacking poor people.

Who says 8 months is too long?

Ok, I’ve had this t-shirt since the 80s. It was sold by Alternative Tentacles Records as part of their selection of Dead Kennedy’s related stuff by artist Winston Smith. I think that it’s just as valid today assuming that you replace the Replican face. Note on the full size image (click to see it) that the upper left corner has the text, “Do you believe America is a democracy?” A valid question, a valid message, just the wrong face.

It’s certainly the silliest thing that I’ve bought in a while, but let be explain: The Sanrio Store at our local mall is going out of business for reasons that I don’t quite understand. Yes, Hello Kitty herself is closing an outlet even as the much less cuddly Steve Jobs pushes harder into retail. As is often customary, even the fixtures are for sale. Being an avid haggler, I was able to come by this 5 foot tall Pochacco for a song. The picture follows, wife is included for scale.

This year’s Jack-O-Lantern was none other than NHK TV’s mascot, Domokun if for no other reason than because I could. For the record, a hole saw works great for making perfectly round holes in pumpkins and a keyhole saw really works better than any kitchen implement for cutting just about anything else.

The wisdom of the removable sunroof is revealed by the ability to haul trees home from the nursery.
