The Farthest Shore

January 28th, 2005 · No Comments

I left home
Sailing to the farthest shore
and when I reached it
I found it wasn’t my home
And I reached for the mast
To turn my boat toward home at last
The wind picked up my sail
and took me to the farthest shore

Silencing Information

January 26th, 2005 · 2 Comments

I went to a small Catholic College. At the time, I thought I chose the school because of its Catholic background, because it would be in line with my Catholic ideals. Then I got there, and things were not as I expected. All that is besides the point I suppose, because as […]

Finally someone does something about blogspam

January 19th, 2005 · No Comments

I’ve had my obvious problems with comment spam, and found a good workaround with my Captcha, but I was left with the problem of trackback spam. So this Google initiative I arrived at through this Slashdot article, was welcome to my ears.
But the problem is that I still don’t want the nasty shit on […]

Its all the Zombie Lepreachauns Fault!

January 19th, 2005 · No Comments

The New York Times has had their reputation, and perhaps rightly so, decimated by an unfortunate common place event, irresponsibility and innacurracy. One bright point is a rousing piece of satire by N.Z. Bear, where we are taking on a trip down conspiracy theory lane. Check out the article, Pathetic Journalism Provokes Nausea […]

Barney Shakur

January 18th, 2005 · No Comments

Once again, Pronerd has pointed to me, a funny and wonderful clip created by the good folks of Daddydesign, the clip…making his music video debut, Barney Shakur.
That had to take some serious time and effort to create…biggest shock for me is the amount of Barney one might have to have watched in order to put […]

The scarier side of adoption

January 17th, 2005 · No Comments

Being adopted, this story really upsets me. The biological parents, well the mother, gave the child up for adoption. Biological dad found out and tried to get custody, when that happened the mother changed her mind, AFTER THE ADOPTION, and fought for custody. MSNBC has a writeup on the situation.
I know this […]

Oh wonderful humorous satire

January 14th, 2005 · 1 Comment

Clint(referenced in the previous article), started a second satire site, Betterthaneveryone.com, which isn’t finished yet, and it got me thinking. I hadn’t read any deap satire in a while, so I figured I would hit up the mother of all satire sites on the internet, and no, its not

Rejected Chemical Weapons

January 14th, 2005 · No Comments

Clint pointed me this morning to a New Scientist.com story about the Pentagon revealing rejected chemical weapons.
From the article,
Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an “aphrodisiac” chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a “distasteful but completely […]
