RSS in Plain English
Joe SieglerI’ve been using Google Reader for some time now. It’s my preferred method of visting sites. In fact, if a site doesn’t have a feed for it’s content, I probably am not going there. I find it’s a lot easier to read information this way. It’s also beneficial in that you don’t have to wade […]
Last of the Time Lords
The season finale of the current series of Doctor Who just aired in England over the weekend. I rather liked it, but then again I’m a Who nut, and will like most anything they do. :) Anyway, the finale did seem to borrow a lot of “elements” from other things that have already happened. In […]
Cher & her agent are an ass
Today is the launch of Apple’s iPhone. It’s funny, two guys from my office today are heading over to a store not too far from our office to try and get one later this afternoon. There’s iPhone stories all over the web today. But this one irked me. Check this: Movie stars, who are accustomed […]
Vote Bumps
This will probably amuse the guy who made the image, and perhaps one other person in the world, but I don’t care. It made me laugh. If you don’t get it, don’t worry about it. :)
Scared Stiff Pinball – Cameron Silver
My company has had a pinball machine in its offices for about a decade. It’s a really great machine called “Scared Stiff“. The theme is based around the character “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark”.

Federal Law Enforcement
I’m a big fan of the band Queensryche, who tend to write a lot of politically charged songs. Anyway, their 1991 album, “Empire” contained a song with the following lyrics. In fiscal year 1986 to 1987, local state and federal governments spent up to a combined total of 60.6 million dollars on law enforcement. Federal […]
Does this look like a fish to you?
I’ve been a Star Trek fan for as long as I can remember. I won’t relay that story again, but suffice it to say I have comitted more pieces of my brain to retaining Star Trek stuff than I probably should have. One of my all time favorite episodes is The Immunity Syndrome, where Kirk’s […]
Doctor Who Trivia
This is some research I did on the 10 actors who have played The Doctor on the TV show “Doctor Who” in regards to ‘length of service’. I needed a place to put this, so my blog is it. Note: Since David Tennant is the current doctor, these stats cover the 2007 series that is […]
