Project: NoondaySun Pumpkin

Update #1:  The only reason Europeans went along with the Union and the Euro as a currency is because they loathe the US.   They presumed that by some sort of enforced evolution they could synthesize an analogue to the US. Now they are dropping the pretense, unwilling to profess undying love and dedication through the [...]

Pre-Weeny

First off is a steampunk haunted house (Evolve Company and Third Rail Projects).  I love that mask down below there.  It has MOVING PARTS. I need a cigarette. **** Next will be my equipment pics for the Pre-Weeny preparations.  Operation NoondaySun Pumpkin. I won’t reveal much other than it involves 1.2kW and a pumpkin.  I [...]

A Child-like Prodigy

I defy you to tell a tale that rings the belltower of truth quite this sharply. New York firefighters removed about a dozen gasoline cans and six generators from Zuccotti Park, where Occupy Wall Street protesters have camped for almost six weeks, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. [snip] The equipment, which helped power computers and mobile [...]

Ween(ey) Thinking

I’m not as prepped for Halloween as I’d like but that’s the way life goes.  I’ll figure it out. If you are a gun owner you already know about Hornady Zombie Max Ammunition.  Good, good for you.   You just never know and better safe than sorry, I say. This brings up an important safety announcement. [...]

Who says romance is dead?

Sent to me by The Butcher of Lansing. No idea where it came from originally.

Prometheus Brought Pork from the Gods, not Fire.

We were at The Dude and Crazy Cat Lady’s Cat ranch for the Xth annual bonfire and Roman Food Orgy. We ate more than was healthy, and then we ate more than was safe or reasonable. I am STILL waddling. Here is how my plate went down… BBQ pork (shredded), bulkogi beef, corn chips, cheese-distillated [...]

Wings made of money

My boss told me to get an iPad and submit a reimbursement request. So I am now blogging from the road on the way to get the kids their flu shots. So far I love it but I miss the mouse. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard and a MIL-SPEC case for it. More later as [...]

A Stiff in Time.

The main post is below this impromptu Lemur Life Story… aliceteach over at DPUD has a great post about Frank Miller for Toddlers.  That won’t make sense if you haven’t seen Sin City, but go watch the movie she put there. My comment there was:  At least at that age you can say “Oh, look [...]

It has wings, too.

iPads. I never thought I’d be interested in a device that sounds like a feminine hygiene product but gosh darn it, my BlackBerry™ is such an incredibly user-unfriendly hunk of shi… thing, that I am reduced to running out and buying shiny shiny things to make up for the lifetime of inadequacy I’m shouldering after [...]

A plan.

Drudge obviously gets it…. **** Note:  I apologize for putting this in such close proximity to the Furrier Transform  (Fourier Transform of a Cat) posting from yesterday, but I’ve actually been studying this thing for a week, and having massive geekgasm after massive geekgasm.  A plan?  A Planimeter, that is. While doing research for another [...]

Mathy type things.

Well, not having ever taken the time to compute ƒ(meow) I couldn’t tell you how close the approximation in the graphic really is, but it’s plausible.  (Damn WordPress doesn’t have a decent Fourier transform operator symbol…) Believe me when I say that the Fourier transform of my morbidly obese cat Jilly is the kindest and [...]

Not so fast…

I had a message on my answering machine last night that I didn’t hear until 1AM when I thought of it.  It was the clinic calling me to remind me that today I was scheduled for another epidural at 8:40AM. Ruh-roh. The doc (we’ll call him Dr. 10.0) had said if I didn’t get good [...]

Tear Along Perforations.

In the mailbag: Dear Dr. Lemur – My cousin has asked me to become their friend on FaceBook.  I think she is a soul-less heartless monster for the way she has screwed one of her brother’s kids out of his inheritance and feel towards her exactly the way this quote puts it: If I’d known [...]
