I added some formatting tools to the Comment Submission form. I need to change some of the images to better describe what they do. They should be mostly self-explanatory though. If you hover your mouse over the button, a little tooltip should appear, telling you what it does. If you click a button without selecting…

Thoughts
So this whole “going to war” thing is a huge deal. Obviously. There are many reasons why I don’t want to go, and then there are reasons that I must. But anyway, that is not the point. Sometimes I think that getting away from here for about a year would be good. An escape? I…
XHTML and Episode III
Getting this site to be XHTML compliant is a total bitch. Anyway, today (well, tomorrow really) we are going to see Episode III. It’s the 12:01 showing. I remember when I went to see Episode II three years ago. It was really awesome, and I liked it. But I guess the feeling sorta died down…
Star Trek: Enterprise
I finished watching the final episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. I think I would be correct in saying that I had mixed feelings about it. To be more accurate, I’ve had mixed feelings about the entire show. I remember being pretty excited when the series first premiered. However, that excitement quickly died down when I…
Laloo Prasad Yadav is a retard
India is the world’s largest democracy, and Indian politics is interesting. It’s amazing that anything actually gets done. The government is a bureaucracy-choked mass and moves like drunk tortoise wading through tar, whereas at other times it surprises everyone by flashing by like a hyperactive cheetah on speed. But anyway, that is another issue. India…

RIAA Retards
The RIAA gets a hard-on everytime they talk about DRM. Anyway, Hilary Rosen, formerly head of the RIAA, is complaining that she can’t get music for her iPod that doesn’t come from iTunes. More details here. What it comes down to, is that Ms. Rosen is bitching about a problem that she helped create. Talk…
Going to War
Maybe it was close to a month and a half ago, perhaps two months. I don’t recall correctly – as strange as that sounds. I should be able to recall an event so significant. I chose to join the Armed Forces of the United States in what was a relatively peaceful time. It was on…
Sandstorm
I’m sure most of you have seen the movie The Mummy. If so, I’m sure you remember the sandstorm scene with the huge, towering sand wall. Here are some pictures of a real sandstorm in Oman. A wall of sand approaching the campsite. How big is this thing?! Getting closer… The sand wall, right before…
