Well, I’m a “hacker” in the loosest terms, as I will do what it will take to get stuff to work, if it promises to be worthwhile. Wether this be spending untold hours at a command line trying to get crap to compile or writing some creative code to get around an issue that should [...]

Well, to take Dan Akroyd’s line from his comment Jane Curtin on SNL in the 70’s… Bill O’Reilly’s got it wrong, so, so miserably wrong. While this was highlighted (see below) by Boing Boing, I still can’t believe, and listen closely, that he’s so damned ignorant. Not only does he not understand technology, his grasp [...]

Yes, this was a great skit… wasn’t there for the original broadcast… but found it here on NBC. I think they both nailed it, and congrats to SNL to opening their 34th (oy I feel old) season with something remotely funny.

Well, for those of you who know me well, I’m a classic animation nut. This is not to say I don’t revel in some of the newer classics, such as South Park, The Simpsons and Family Guy (as well as appreciate the stylistic liberties taken with Batman and Star Wars / Samurai Jack), but I’m [...]

while I’ve still got a lot of writing to do for my upcoming post about my job history (don’t ask)… I figured I’d at least drop this URL on you all who may be reading (which I doubt include much beyond, me, myself and I) from Boing-Boing (the blog of gods!)…
