Quite Possibly the Best Photo I’ve Ever Taken

Saturday was the Literary Extravaganza hosted at Beale Street Brews. This was the second sortie in a fundraising effort to help students at the dojo (White Wind Tiger) pay for their fees for an upcoming tournament. Once students get past a certain rank, tournament attendance is compulsory, but the fees can run as high as […]

Know what I did today?

I bought this artwork.
The artist’s site is here.
This is my picture. A bargain for $40 to commemorate the Weird Tales festival.
Oh … yes, it’s insane. But so am I.

Postergasm II: Assorted Nerdery

The sequel to Postergasm I, here I drop various images of various things for various purposes. As with the first post the high-res versions are optimized to print on an 11 x 17 sheet — not exactly movie-poster size, but large enough to be noticeable.
After the fold, miscellaneous posters along with descriptions. Enjoy!
For starters […]

Postergasm I: Mars, Venus, Moon

I mentioned last week that I’d assembled a few tabloid-sized posters for Yoshi’s room, in what I hope will be a successful attempt to instill wonder at the nature of … well, nature.
Below the fold is the first set of those posters, as JPEG previews with links to the PDFs (for high-res printing; these are […]

Stranger than we Can Imagine

Sir Arthur Eddington said this of our cosmos: “Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine.” I was reminded today of that fact by an image I’d forgotten.
In an effort to reduce the bareness of the walls in Yoshi’s bedroom (as well as in an effort to […]

Tonglen

A meditation practice used often in the Buddhist world, tonglen (”giving and receiving”) is often construed as being a means by which the suffering of someone may be relieved. It’s not unusual to hear of tonglen requests directed toward another, and seems to be used often as an analogue to prayer.
This doesn’t strike me as […]

The SPucker: A Product I Really Wish Someone would Invent

But it’s genuinely not possible. After you’ve read some of the mock ad copy and checked out the PDF of the “advertisement” flyer,1 I think you’ll agree that it’s tragic no such device will ever exist.

Spam Got you Down?
In 2006, 17 exabytes of junk emails and commercial spambot blog comments were transferred in the United […]

I have SO Got to Do This!

An excerpt from a recent Dinosaur Comics:

Go and check out the whole thing. Doesn’t this seem like a hell of a fun idea?
Once when I was getting cable installed at a rental, the technician asked if I had a ladder he could use. I was suddenly overcome with an insane urge, one I intend eventually […]

Imam Calmly Reflects on Merits of Open Discourse

Ha ha, made you look. No, of course not.
The Swedish cartoonist at the centre of a row over drawings of the Prophet Muhammad says police have taken him to a secret location for his own safety.

The purported head of al-Qaeda in Iraq has offered $100,000 (£49,310) to anyone killing Mr Vilks.

Six Years?

Hard to imagine it’s been that long.
Tuesday, 11 September 2001, America got a hell of a wake-up call.
I’m not going to recap what’s happened since then.
I just have an image that might be worth considering.

As a PDF.

Yet More Evidence of Retardation Among the Religious

There’s simply no way that we can extend the concept of tolerance to any practitioners of the following examples of egregious stupidity:
Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.
Yep, goat sacrifice. In […]

Hymenoplasty is a procedure used to surgically re-create the hymen in a woman’s vagina. Muslim women in Europe are undertaking the procedure in order to circumvent their religion’s idiocy regarding virginity.

While I’ll agree that it’s no one’s business whether a woman is a virgin or not, if there’s a surgery which can be used to shoot even a small hole in small-minded bronze-age hocus-pocus, I’m all for it.

Apparently someone rustled up enough cash to take out a hit on Kevin Federline. It’s amazing what the pennies that fall between the couch cushions can accomplish, isn’t it?
