09.09.09 is a good day.

That's of course because the walrus is the natural enemy of the cat.

It has nothing to do with differences in musical direction. Nothing.

09.09.09 is a good day.

Today feels like a holiday. The Beatles, master marketers that they are, have pulled off a sort of pop music coup. For years they refused to license any of their music to movies or television ads, remaster it, remix it, or otherwise touch it. The result: Their music acquired a sort of sacredness usu...

A Day Without Cats on the internet

The blog Urlesque has proclaimed this day 09-09-09 to be "Day without cats" . Instead they are encouraging the posting of cute fluffy bunnies. Well, here's what I think of that! http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/1159667323241.jpg Everyday is Caturday on the internet. -e

The Stuff You Love.

The other day I went to Canada and drove around Toronto and to Niagara Falls. I had a nice time and part of the reason was because, on a whim, I set up my ipod to play through my entire Rush catalog. It seemed fitting since Rush is from Ontario. And while I was driving around listening to Rush I rea...

What major company period has ever done that? Exactly my point Slarti. :) However, I specified entertainment companies because they possess franchises with fans and those fans often claim a sort of ownership with accompanying entitlements. (Think Star Wars fans. :) ) Major companies often do ask op...

What Do You Think God Is? (an invite to Discussion)

I am not an apologist for any faith and I never will be.

There are certain things that no one should ever be invited to and faith is one of those things.

In my experience, things of real value must be sought and earned. Seek it if you want it, ignore it if you don't; I don't care either way.

Stark Industries. Now Hiring. What?!

There was a "Stark Industries" in the town where I went to veterinary school.

I'm such a nerd that I used to point out the sign to people whenever we passed it. Now one ever knew why I gave a crap. :)

Wow. So old school in plot and layout and yet still pretty fresh and fun to read the first few preview pages

I think I'm going to have to find a comic book shop in Buffalo and pick up a copy.

Propofol!? Seriously? Propofol is an anesthetic induction drug. It's the drug they give to completely knock you out right before surgery. Where they say count down from 10 and you go "ten..." and then they're saying "wake up, wake up." It's a pretty safe drug (I use it in my heal...
