I'm probably behind the times linking to this. But Joss Whedon's new thing is a musical blog of a supervillain. |

I just cancelled my WoW account. (I really haven't felt like playing much in the last month or so.) |

Virgin mobile seems to have gotten massively worse since I checked them out in February.
They were a minimum of $20 every 90 days. They're now $20 every 30 days.
Laaaaaame. |

I am addicted to fresh figs.
I wish they were less seasonal. |

| Gamecube? |
[Jun. 16th, 2008|01:42 pm] |
We're decluttering. Anyone near Redlands, CA want to come pick up a GameCube?
See, it's been completely replaced by the Wii for our purposes for the last year or so, just sitting in the corner covered in dust...
(We'll probably go trade it in to GameStop for $5 or so if no-one speaks up in the next day or so.) |

While watching a music video on youtube for various reasons:
Kellie: "Yeah, and this is an old song, too -- it came out while I was in high school."
Kellie: "...shit! I just said that, didn't I?" |

We have bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
Kellie is vacuuming our bedroom. I hear loud whirring noises, and occasional screams of "this is SO AWESOME!" |

Not providing a commit message in your revision control system of choice: great sin, or the greatest sin? |

It is hilarious on multiple levels to read Al-Qaeda's terrifying vision of a devastated America in the wake of a nuclear attack.
Washington is laid to waste. The Capitol is a blackened, smoking ruin. The White House has been razed. Countless thousands are dead.
This is the apocalyptic scene terrorists hope to create if they ever get their hands on a nuclear bomb.
The computer-generated image below was posted on an Islamic extremists' website yesterday.
[...snip...]
U.S. analysts said a lot of effort had been put into the video - entitled Nuclear Jihad, The Ultimate Terror - with graphics, music, and clips of different leaders and groups.
The same expertise seems to have gone into creating this image of a devastated Washington.
This is amusing because:
1. Oh noes, teh terroristz haves photoshops! Teh pixels!
2. The picture in question is Fallout 3 concept art.
3. All. Of. The. Above.
(And I can finally close that tab, which I've had open for the last week-and-a-half. :P ) |

| D&D 4e |
[Jun. 4th, 2008|04:51 pm] |
So, I illicitly acquired PDFs of D&D 4th Edition.
I like it. There are a lot of differences (it feels far more removed from 3e than 3e did from 2e), but I think I can sum it up by saying that there seem to be far less places where you have to gimp yourself to be awesome. |

| The problem with public transport in America |
[May. 19th, 2008|01:11 am] |
On those days when I go into the dA office, it's a 70 mile drive through LA freeways, with gas at record (for America) prices.
So I naturally considered taking the train. There's a station in scenic San Bernadino about 7 miles away, and once I reach LA I could take a short bus ride to the office.
There's just one problem. The car is: cheaper, faster, and more convenient.
I'd be far more tempted by the train if it produced a saving in at least one of these areas. |

My god, genuine xenophobic ranting. How quaint.
I'm not ever sure that I've ever heard someone use the phrase "the Red Chinese" in all seriousness before. |

| Ubuntu: sharing music with iTunes |
[May. 7th, 2008|12:06 am] |
1. sudo aptitude install mt-daapd
2. Edit /etc/mt-daapd.conf so that mp3_dir = [your music directory]. (Also any other configuration changes you might want to make; the file is well-commented.)
3. sudo /etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart
Really this would work on any Debian-derived distro... but I've only tried it on Ubuntu. |

| Disadvantages of a Hollywood office |
[May. 6th, 2008|11:39 pm] |
Yesterday when leaving work I stepped out the back door of our building and almost blundered through someone filming a scene for something.
The back doors of our building had been made over into a hospital entrance, and someone who was the very embodiment of The Wise Old Bum was dispensing advice to people in scrubs, while some sort of faux-homeless band played on the bridge crossing the alley to the parking garage.
Weird. |
