F-word abuse: on giving a fuck, getting a fuck, and fucked-up progeny
It’s neat how there are a million little coincidences in life…a slice of (pi)zza at Wild Oats comes out to $3.14 after tax, the price of a phone card at the Radio Shack by my house matches the last 4 digits of my phone number, my morning ‘routine’ (the shaving and showering and so on)…

Company Xmas party 2005 pics
Actually on Dec. 3, but I only just now got the pictures back :-) Clicky for pictures of my coworkers and I on the piss, including entirely too many pictures of me with my big red balls swinging around. Featuring a great dinner, open bar, hilarious video* (to us; but with inside jokes that require…

It was sad, it was sweet, and I knew it complete, when I wore a younger man’s clothes
Ya… it’s cold out and I don’t really wanna go outside all that much, so what am I doing? I’m re-learning VHDL* of course! Think of it as a programming language, except one where as soon as the clock starts every line executes at once, in parallel, and continues executing continuously. Or every block, etc.,…

None for me, thanks, I’ll just have a Boinkin Sheep(tm).
Guys like to bitch about it, but this one has gone the extra mile and offered mathematical proof… Why I Will Never Have A Girlfriend Curse our realistic but existent standards. QOTD: “You raise a vital point. Drinking on the internet is just not the same.” -commodorevic

[meme] hey, this says I might actually reproduce…
61,690 descendants – you’re more genetically fit than 36% of the current population – 61,690. Not bad. You’re no Mongol warlord, but to have that many copies of your genetic code running around 800 years from now is pretty impressive. You’re at the lower end of the scoring spectrum, but, honestly, when you consider that…

b[ack]log // [meme]
Bulk-blogging the last few days’ of stuff due to server outage, busy-ness and general hecticity… This is one of those annoying memes where you post the first sentence of the first entry of every month, and it’s supposed to be kind of like a mini-review of the last year of your life. Unfortunately my blog…

Can you actually die from laughter?
The crisis has begun. The headlines are shocking, alarming. The Internet is under attack by dangerous, wicked abusers. These cyber-criminals must be caught, stopped and punished. STOP HACKERS NOW! There’s a Public Service Announcement. I especially loved this one. Oh Noes! they live in basements? I have a basement!!! *runs downstairs with a pointy stick*…

Makes a great gift!
Poking thru webstats I came across a query for the phrase “axe deodorant poison” – so I got curious and searched for it myself…here was the first Google result. Poison on sale at fragrancenet.com; free shipping on poison at strawberry… Evil project postponed / out of my hair until further notice due to lack of…

busy\
Dear bloggg, I need to leave you for a little while. Maybe only a few days. Too much annoying stuff going on. I’ve just gotten sucked into administering (fixing, hacking, patching, cleaning out, …) the cexxy forums, and cleaning out the email, and… workness. Seeker arm schmeeker arm, but I know a certain TMSc6713-based board…

Hell.
Yesterday i had a dream about dying… about laying to rest, and then flying, How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own. Some time ago J.R. and I were in Fasika and got to talking about the possibility of an afterlife, and what the worst possible afterlife would be. In some…

All that you can’t throw away. Even when the world gets in the way
“Now every Gambler knows that the secret to survival Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowin’ what to keep ‘Cause every hand’s a winner, and every hand’s a loser And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep” – Kenny Rogers, The Gambler The last time I was in Anna’s,…

extern far MCBSP_Handle hMcbsp1;
That makes my day. OK, not entirely…makes it slightly less sucky, but you’ve gotta start somewhere, right? The mimosa in my office has decided that december is a good time to start making flowers :-P After untold hours of hacking around and pestering TI tech support, I can now write a byte to the evil…

Grr…humans.
Admin: “Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology.” (…lengthy post about cleaning up and rejuvenating a long-neglected Internet security message board…) User: So now it will be a “gentlemen’s club” [questionmark] [questionmark] That is a big disappointment. [sad] Admin: Er…what? “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him…” …it’s the famous introduction to an old TV…
