Cham­pagne for lunch is under­rated. It seems that every time that I go out to some­thing fun at night, my hair and cloth­ing smell like smoke. Yeay for smoked gouda. Pres­sure cook­ers are so very use­ful, except I only use it once or twice a year and end up hav­ing to dig up the directions/instructions/special-recipes each time. […]

Elvis needs boats! Elvis needs boats!

April 21, 2006

This is going to be the typ­i­cal “LJ Catchup” post in which I com­plain that I have not updated this thing with con­tent of any great depth for a very long time. First off, I have had a few Per­plex City puz­zle cards pub­lished.  They are: Catcher Cir­cu­lar Con­found­ing Cube NAND Primer Other than say­ing that yes, they […]

12 episodes down, ~148 to go

March 27, 2006

Inter­est­ing obser­va­tion: con­vert­ing an episode of Buffy (~44 min­utes of video) to a for­mat use­ful to iTunes, the iPod video, Front Row, and other video play­ers (MP4) takes about 2–1/2 hours on a 1.6 GHz Mac with the Pow­erPC G4 chip.  It is about 2 hours on a G5 chip of the same speed.  Converting […]

In every generation, an Iron Maiden is chosen

March 19, 2006

Trem­ble before me in awe and envy, for I am now the proud owner of the Buffy the Vam­pire Slayer box set: Okay, you can stop your trem­bling now. Yes, it is all seven sea­sons of Buffy on 40 DVDs in a nice lit­tle box that will take up far less space on the book­shelf than the […]

The Daily Show on iTunes

March 8, 2006

Hmmm.… it would appear that you can now sub­scribe to The Daily Show on the iTunes video store.  It's prob­a­bly eas­ier and less buggy than the whole RSS+Torrent thing I tried a while back, but I am not sure I quite care that much about the Daily Show or even have the time to watch […]

12-Sided Died!

January 18, 2005

Do they make dog bis­cuits for cats?  Ebenezer seems to have a thing for hard, crusty, vir­tu­ally ined­i­ble bread–the sort of thing that has about the same den­sity as a Milk­bone.  It has got­ten to the point where I can no longer leave a fresh loaf of bread unat­tended on the counter.  He decides he […]

Buy Local Day?

November 27, 2004

“For­give me, Father, for I bought some­thing on Buy Noth­ing Day.” Yes, I bought some­thing, and I bought some­thing rather large.  In my defense, it was a new 64-bit com­puter that I had been plan­ning for the past month or two to buy myself before Christ­mas.  To top it off, it is the lat­est entry-level iMac […]

“Turkey Monarchy”">“Turkey Monarchy”

November 25, 2004

“Waf­fles: It's what's for din­ner.”  I am an adult now.  I can do things like make waf­fles for din­ner. Much like cheap wine, my turkey came in a large card­board box. Holy The Crap!  The final episode of Buffy makes ref­er­ence to Trog­dor The Burn­i­na­tor!  The big CGI “Return of the King” style bat­tle (with similar […]

This week­end: Kim and I were sick mon­keys.  I slept for some­thing like 13 or 14 hours Sat­ur­day night and was still groggy and out of it. Buffy: nearly fin­ished watch­ing the final sea­son.  It is funny to see the dif­fer­ence between Spike/William as the mamma's boy in the 1800's ver­sus Spike as the tough punk […]

Good­bye, world! Thanks to a gen­er­ous birth­day grant from Momma and Pappa Enigma, I am now the proud owner of The Office Christ­mas Spe­cial and the final sea­son of Buffy.  I believe I will not be leav­ing the house for a week.  It has been nice know­ing all of you.  I will see you after the […]

May 22, 2004

I could not resist and had to start watch­ing the new DVD sea­son of Buffy a bit early.  It started out a bit dark, but I can see that as being a bit unavoid­able with that whole “she died in the pre­vi­ous sea­son” thing.  The musi­cal episode kicks some seri­ous butt (I had to buy […]

May 17, 2004

The House of Sand and Fog is a really good, extremely pow­er­ful film and rather messed up in a num­ber of ways.  Ben Kings­ley is excel­lent.  The beau­ti­ful Jen­nifer Con­nelly plays her char­ac­ter quite well (yes, I have had a crush on her and her front teeth since Labyrinth).  Can some­one explain the deal with […]
