Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Awhile back, I was shown a short film off the Internet called Tripping the Rift. It was quite funny, and it was fairly adult in nature in that it had no problems with either language, or nudity. Except for the nudity, it kind of reminded me of the online short film that launched Beavis & […]
A couple of weeks ago I saw some odd looking things attached to a few streetlights around town. Attached here is a picture of one of them – taken about two blocks or so from my house. It’s not just this particular neighbhorhood, I’ve seen them in a few places in and around Garland. Anyone […]
At Christmas, my wife bought me a couple of videogames. One was an expansion pack for Sim City 4, and the other was SimGolf. I did not ask for SimGolf, my wife remembered a comment I had made awhile back “I hate golf, but I love golf games”. So when she was in the store […]
My wife and I have been a big fan of the State Quarter program that the US government put into place in 1999 (we finally get my state’s quarter this year – TEXAS!). Anyway, there was that dollar coin introduced in 2000, which again failed to make much of a splash – I don’t think […]
March is such a tease of a month. It’s the month before the greatest sport in the world (Yeah, it has problems, but what doesn’t) gets rolling. That is, of course, baseball. However, the most annoying part is all the godawful “March Madness” crap that we have to wade through in the meantime. In a […]
I was sitting here tonight, and this thought just popped into my head. For a country that deals in figures like gallons and miles, why is it that our soda cans are in ounces, but our big plastic soda bottles are in litres? Excuse me, but I don’t think our country ever adopted the metric […]
Want to know that you’re thinking more and more about Linux? When you’re in a Microsoft Windows XP command prompt and you use “ls -l” without thinking about it instead of “dir”. ;)
I’ve been reading the Purpose Driven life recently, and something I read last night made me think. One of the basic tenants of Christianity is that Jesus died on the cross for our/my sins. I’m not here to debunk that or even attempt. I personally believe that, but what I’m wondering is this.. What about […]
In another move by perpetually annoying group of twonks named PETA, they.. aw hell, just read the news story below. In honor of these morons, I’ll be sure and have a steak tonight.
I don’t even mind him going to the Yankees. That’s not the worst part. The worst part is that we’re giving any money at all to the Yankees. They Yankees don’t GET money, they PAY money! Click here to see the salary breakdown. It’s sad. I don’t really want to say a whole lot more […]
