A Kitty Cookie Fortune

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Last night I noted a fortune cookie sitting on out kitchen table as I was going to the couch to watch an episode of Boston Legal. Upon completing the episode I observed that the cookie was no longer on the table; one of the cats (I have a pretty good idea of which one) evidently […]

Globalization: A Definition

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

A Sri Lankan friend of mine sent me this today, it’s perhaps in somewhat poor taste, but it’s quite funny.
Question : What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer : Princess Diana’s death…
Question: How come ?
Answer:

BoingBoing Notices St. Cloud Bakery

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

St. Cloud is famous! Well, at least the St. Cloud, MN Bakery is interesting and odd enough to make the front page of one of my favorite internet haunts, boingboing.net. The article in question is really just a link to pictures of the Bakery’s specials sign, taken monthly. Aside from the misspellings, odd abbreviations […]

What if Microsoft had designed GMail

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Blogoscoped has an amusing article about what GMail might have been like if it had been designed by Microsoft. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth is to be expected, but also a good laugh. Check it out.

Of Karata and Irony

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

For about two years back when I was in High School (damn that seems like so long ago) I used to be in a martial arts class at the St. Cloud YMCA. I held my instructor (Colin Ylinen) in extremely high regard and the class did a great deal for me: I learned a lot […]

Damn you Nic! And Flickr Fun

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Here I am all happy, not feeling like I need anything and then Nic has to go and destroy the balance by making me go take a look at Flickr. Now of course I have to try the thing. Then I have to discover that I really like it and that it might be a […]
