My roomba tried to commit suicide today.
It managed to line up the two shoes and box you see here trapping itself, then went around in circles until it’s battery died.
Sadly, this Roomba has hated life from the very beginning. The day after I got it, it forced it’s way under my couch scratching it’s self [...]
Casey posted a link to this song in IRC today, I like it quite a bit:
Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey
The song is under a Creative Commons license which allows for redistribution with very few conditions, but if you like it, I ask that you seriously consider paypaling $1 to the artist. DRM-free music that makes [...]
In movies, “hackers” usually end up having to perform long drawn-out operations to obtain information about a target. Back in the real world, I am thinking now interesting it would be if they actually had to do that much work…
There was a lady sitting in front of me on the bus this morning making a [...]
I asked my parents, who are jewish, if I could put lights outside the house this year for the holidays. Surprisingly (to me), they were extremely offended by my question, saying that the lights directly represent christmas and christianity, and not the general holiday season/spirit which is what I have always thought.
The modern-day version of [...]
I thought this was too amusing not to post (quoted from preveous link)…
“Also cool: I was browsing DAPreview (the site for those addicted to MP3 players…I’m on #15, I think?), and found
Wooden Headsets. As pleasingly Non-Apple-Hipster-White as they are, they’re
transformed into pure awesomeness by the truly awesome cautionary imagery
that accompanies them, and every [...]
This is no doubt the best episode of south park all year. The best part of it is that almost the entire story, which sounds so stupid it’s hilarious, is actually the exact story that scientologists believe is what happened 75 million years ago.
In fact, had they not written the words “This is actually [...]
**Website Host**
I need a new home for my website as I am told I might loose this server “any day”. It looks like I can co-locate a 1U server for < $100/month. If anybody (that I actually know) is interested in some server space to do whatever with and would be willing to put a [...]
I did not watch the Superbowl today and have no idea who won. I am very proud of this fact.
I did, however, watch the new episode of “The Simpsons” as well as the “preview episode” of “American Dad”, which is a new comedy coming in a month or two from the creators of “Family Guy”. [...]
I have two very simple resolutions for the new year: Get a (goddamn) driver’s license and finish Meshwork. That is all. Wish me luck.
And don’t see “Ocean’s 12″. It sucked. Perhaps some day people will learn that filimg a bunch of random crap and shoving it into an editor’s face telling him to make a [...]
Yesterday I was at the Univeristy Village at night and I saw some guy on a skateboard “discreetly” take the bag out of one of the garbage cans. He road right past the big dumpsters so I have a pretty good feeling he wasn’t trying to give village maintanence a hand…
So just some friendly advice, [...]
