Not in the best mood these days, apologies.

I am just as angry about this. Why aren’t we all terribly pissed of about this? The worst of us, those with the most mediocre tastes, have obliterated our vision of that which is remarkable, genius.
There’s...
I hope this Xzibit meme hits critical mass and gets too meta within the next 48 hours so it can flame out and die and I never have to see it again.

I’m looking for new books to read. However, my attention span is very short (related to use of internet?), so I want to make my time worthwhile. What are the most important books you have read?
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
Hitchhicker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Billions and Billions by Carl Sagan
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

This is terrible. Next you’ll be saying he never grew a mullet.
Nice attempt at (racist) humor there. Call me crazy but I would hope for the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States to know how to handle a gun. I honestly don’t know how you make it to 47 without ever handling a gun. Especially...
At the Sierra Nevada Brewery for lunch and a brewery tour. This kicks the crap out of holiday shopping on black friday. :)
Random quotes from thanksgiving so far...
“No, not a boning knife, a KATANA!”
“Who’s playing with themself?!”
“Don’t lose a finger because I can’t remember how to get to the hospital and no one else can drive.”
“I’m not sure, I think it’s on fire. More champage and then I’ll deal with it.”
Thanks Be.

When my biggest complaints consist of wanting more opportunity to do the work I am passionate about and more time to spend with the wonderful people in my life, I know things are going pretty well. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The fact that Cartoon Network Rickrolled the entire country makes me so happy. :)

You know when military guys are standing guard or whatever and they have to radio back to base every 15 minutes so their army knows they’re not dead?
What’s that called?
Checking in? Do they have a cooler name for it?
Hit me up if you know.
Judging from my memories of Goldeneye, MGS, and Splinter Cell, that’s alternately called either “Target Practice” or...

Yes.

WatchDear BMW:
I love your cars, honestly. They drive like nothing else and feel exactly like I think a sports car should. In fact my current mode of transport is an example of your absolutely sublime 3 series (e46 performance edition.)
Ever since they debuted, I always wanted an E46 M3. The engine sounds like an action movie and the front air scoop looks like it’s there to eat lesser cars...

Disqus
Playing with Disqus to see whether I’d like it on my tumblr, but so far not enamored with it. Comments posted to wrong discussions when multiple tabs are open in Firefox, and an apparent inability to delete comments are two of my issues. Will admit I’d much rather have an internal Tumblr comment application that can be turned on or off as the user sees fit.
Everything you'll need on your holiday trip home

So many movies to see.
You pay $5 and get to stream the movie you’d like to see.
Best thing is, those 5 dollars then go to the purchase of a brand new DVD or Blu-Ray.

Coffee
I had a whole rant written out, but it comes down to this: making coffee with my parent’s coffee maker involves approximately the same amount of effort as a manned mission to Mars. I counted just now, and there are a million buttons on the machine and it beeps very angily at you for no reason at all.
This from the same couple who still calls me with questions about how to record shows on...
