It took a bit but with enough beer, I was able to get through the elections. I hope things went just as well for you all. What with all of the telephone calls from the pollsters, I was ready to jump off a bridge…. Thanks to my higher power, there’s beer to help work through such irritants. Oh, and the WinExtra forums too.
Lots of chit-chat going on over in the Coffee Shop. I’m not a big blues fan but I really enjoy good musicians, whatever the style or instrument. XCarlosX brings us this link to a pretty good guitar player.
We were all deeply saddened by Michael Crichton’s death. We hope he enjoys the next chapter in this great book of life that he gets to write.
Speaking of chapters…. Chapters are usually enumerated. I hate numbers. They confuse me. Why, oh why, does there always have to be one more than what ever number you have? Infinity is just so forever…. Well, my ship has come in. This link proves that counting isn’t all that it’s made out to be. I am vindicated. Finally. Got some time? Waste it here. ’nuff said.
Meanwhile, back at the pagan farm. There’s a lively discussion on Halloween. Entertaining. To say the least.
If that’s not far enough out there for you, check out the discussion on the Phoenix Mars lander going into cryostasis.
Speaking of cryostasis, does the weather interest you at all? Check out this post for a chance to participate in weather measurements.
To top everything off, ChadMan brings us this wonderful video about Cooties. Get some!
In a strange turn of events, Billy’s not only lost his virginity, his house is attempting to screw him too. We wish you luck bud! (Some guys just can’t get a break….)
Over in the Cool Links section Billy brings us this awesomely bacony flavored post. To go with that, there’s another post for a wonderful time waster. Pierre, our resident massively parallel human processor, gave us a post to the first direct pictures of Exoplanets. Waayyy too cool. ChadMan countered with a most hilarious video about self-cleaning toilets. It’s enough to make a girl cry!
Speaking of crying girls. The Cage has been full of a bunch of political posts lately. Too many to enumerate. With my recent attempts at truncating my digits with a framing hammer, I’m afraid to even try and count. So, I’ll just point you towards my favoritest post of them all: 10 people with unbelievable medical problems. Thanks ChadMan, you really know how to make a person feel better about themselves.
Down in the Hardware Help section, Joe asks for input on speakers for his HDTV. After a bit of a lag, he answers himself. We laugh. Dontor, on the other hand, is buying a server and looking for input. I think he’s spot on already. HelloKit brings us good news about her haunted computer. Turns out it was haunted. A brief exorcism by the local priest and all is well once again. Too bad she already bought a new motherboard…. Meanwhile, ChadMan gets his rant on about repairing laptops. Psst, ChadMan, laptops are meant to be replaced, not repaired. Save your karma for stuff that really counts.
Crawling down to the Software Help section, Joe asks a question about Windows update and WGA. Pierre gets all internet karate on him and cuts him off at the knees before he can answer himself. Kung Fu Panda ain’t got nothing on Pierre who is now being upgraded to a massively parallel knee-chopping-off internet karate killer. Beware, it’s Pierre, the Internet Ninja! This last post from ChadMan brings us to one of my favorite freeware programs. The post brings up a larger question, however. One of how to collect links to all of these gems together into one post and then keep it updated. We’d like your input so stop on by and add in your two cents.
Until next time, Have a Great Day!
