Cameron’s Avatar: A big blue ‘meh’

This is an expan­sion on a com­ment I made on a post at BoingBoing about the movie Avatar. I fig­ured with some infla­tion it’d have the poten­tial to be a review. Yes, there are prob­a­bly spoil­ers here. Avatar is a lush, lus­cious movie set some­time in a more or less human future. We don’t know when, exactly, but a rough guess would be 100 […]

.45

This is not a threat, nor a warn­ing, nor any­thing else. (I will reit­er­ate it at the end of the post.) That said, and sure to be ignored any­way, here it is. There are two pud­dles of cat puke in my house, one on the stair­way (per­fectly arranged to be hit in the mid­dle of the night), the […]

What they said.

My body is a cage. Arcade Fire. My Body Is a Cage I’m liv­ing in an age That calls dark­ness light Though my lan­guage is dead Still the shapes fill my head I’m liv­ing in an age Whose name I don’t know Though the fear keeps me mov­ing Still my heart beats so slow My body is a cage that keeps […]

Legos

Toys for Tots, it’s called. From me, to a Marine, to you. When I bought these toys, I imag­ined you would play with them. Thousands of hours, I spent, with my Legos. Houses, cars, trucks, air­planes, heli­copters, cranes, robots; and even, in a spate of furi­ous bewil­der­ment, a 9mm auto­matic. After that, after the gun I made with my Legos, I never played with them […]

Holy crap. Firefox 3.5.6 and OSX 10.6.2 crash?

I have both — FFox 3.5.6 and OSX.6.2 — and just now, when I tried to open a tab in FFox, my sys­tem logged me out and forced a re-​​​​login. Never, ever hap­pened before, with any browser, on any OSX release. Is this part of the rumor I’ve heard that FFox 3.5.6 is more or less lethally unstable? […]

Hiatus!

We were dark for a while. Had to work out some server issues with my ISP. Yup, we’re back online. Station ident, KD7BJP. This is The Indigestible, bring­ing you the most dys­pep­sia since 1998. Relax. All is well, and this mis­shapen beast is slouch­ing steadily toward Bethlehem, to be born.
