the twenty-first century is when it all changes
I can’t claim any good reasons for not writing much lately. Most of what I’ve had on my mind hasn’t been coherent enough to make a post. Therefore, I’m just going to ramble from one thing to another in this post. I’ve been busy catching up on British television shows – specifically the new Doctor…

hoping the geolocation stays right
Netflix has recently added Monarch of the Glen series 1-3 to the instant play section.

our number one test is your number two
One of the shows that we have managed to catch up on recently is Scrubs. I don’t know how accurate the show is medically, but it tickles my funny bone. Sometimes I can’t get this song out of my head:

smoke me a kipper, i’ll be back for breakfast
Minor spoiler alert! Eventually this post is going to get around to talking about recent Stargate activity. If you hate people talking about stuff before you’ve seen it and aren’t fully up to date on the Stargate universe (all ten seasons of SG-1, all four current seasons of Atlantis, and Ark of Truth), you might…

geolocation woes
Recently I joined the ranks of Netflix subscribers. We’ve been especially enjoying the “watch instantly” feature, where instead of waiting for a DVD in the mail, you get to watch as much as you want as streaming video from their website. Yesterday, coincidentally the same day that Netflix charged my credit card because the free…

more of the white stuff
It snowed again last night. Looks like 1-2 inches. Right now AccuWeather says it’s 31 degrees in my suburb. With so many storms so close together, we haven’t had as many days of temperature inversion as we normally get, which means the air quality this winter has been better than normal. Lots of snow and…

don’t hold your breath
Just read an interesting article about something called Email Apnea. I find after reading this article that I do indeed hold my breath while reading and writing email. This probably affects lots of aspects of life other than email, too. I’ll be making a conscious effort to breathe. Amazing that such a thing should be…

In the back of my mind yesterday, I was thinking that the extreme brightness couldn’t be good. Can you say lake effect?

engrish 101
My wife is putting together a model of the Cutty Sark, 1/160th scale. She’s struggled with the instructions for several weeks now because of how badly written and badly arranged they are, but has come across something we just can’t translate. This should come with a giant [sic] attached. The principles of rope knots are…

plugging the big boys
Wendy’s chili is awesome stuff. If you’ve never tried it, go out sometime and do so. It goes well with their chicken nuggets. If you’re not squeamish about your foods touching, dunk a nugget all the way under and fish it out with your spoon.

get ready to rumble
I have come into a pair of tickets to a Utah Jazz game, on February 19th vs. the Golden State Warriors. Sporting events are not something that suits us, so we’d like to know if anyone would like to buy them, or knows someone who would. This would let us have a nice dinner date…
