Today I was in the Walmart store at 561 Yopp Road, Jacksonville, NC and walked past this display. I was dumbfounded. I spotted store manager “Dave” walking by and asked him if he was aware of this display, and if he knew that it was disrespectful of the United States Flag. He looked at it, …
As expected, we’ll do it for them… Power from Glucose Scientists have implanted the first functional glucose biofuel cell in a living animal. Unlike batteries that supply power to implants, a power-generating device may not have to be surgically removed and replaced, because glucose is a potentially limitless source of energy.
This one aggravated me for a bit; maybe the solution will help you, too. I have a spreadsheet that I use to track finances. It’s the only spreadsheet I use regularly, so naturally I want to be able to access it quickly and easily. I googled a solution, but found a lot of “you can’t …

If you’re a fan of Star Wars (or at least the first few…), watch this. I never knew how much I hated that movie until it was explained to me here! Watch This: 70-Minute Video Review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s hit “reply” to a newsletter, just knowing that my words would fall on deaf ears, but needing to get a gripe off my chest. Generally, whatever brings me to that point also leads me to cancel my subscription to that newsletter. Case in point: I’ve subscribed to …
Yeah, sorry… the campaign magic has worn off. Thousands In Daley Plaza Stunned By Olympics Decision Maybe we should stick to things presidential? Love this contrast at the old Huff’nPuff… Hopey Changey: 2016 Olympics Bid: Obama’s Presence Levels The Playing Field In Copenhagen Not so much: Chicago 2016 Olympic Bid and the School Children Killings …
Something struck me as I was reading about Erwin Erker. He was a regular guy. Hell, he sounds like any number of people I know and deal with every day, even a bit like me. He was into technology, that’s apparent by his choice of careers, enjoyed both watching and playing sports, and kept an …
[singlepic id=45 w=320 h=240 float=center] His name is Carpet because he was born the same color as the carpet remnant his mother was laying on/near. Little beggar is growing like a weed!

A very nice update – not much changed from the visitor’s standpoint (basically, nothing!), but the admin bits are very nice. This little “Quickpress” editor could have a few more features, but it’s quite a handy way to drop in a short note. WordPress 2.7 “Coltrane”
Watched Dick Clark, noticed they showed literally NO shots of the new ball dropping or even lit up; toasted the new year; watched Robby Knievel jump the volcano; now it’s time for bed. Good night / Good bye 2008. Welcome, 2009. May all the terrorist assholes in the world lay down and die this year.
So my Obama-depression inspired bout of “nothing I want to write about” fugue has gone on long enough. Let’s see what’s interesting in the world. There’s fighting in Gaza… and in case you forgot, Israel’s enemies are the same fanatical assholes that are our enemies. They are liars and deceivers (if you believe people like …
But since I know you all so well, and I don’t remember any of you accusing me of being polite… I present more random thoughts on religion.
