It may be that we are doomed, that there is no hope for us, any of us, but if that is so then let us set up a last agonizing, bloodcurdling howl, a screech of defiance, a war whoop!
--Henry Miller, "Tropic of Capricorn" 1934

I didn't think I liked Miller; I'm happy he existed, if only for that quote.

In a tribute to Daigidan, there I am, in my small fast car, a baby seat in the back, windows and sunroof open, blasting Tool's "Aenima", running like a bat outta hell through suburbia. I tried to turn it up so you could hear it ;)

Happy Hundred Posts!

So I just noticed that with D's last post we've risen to 100 postings on the blog. Congrats to all!

I also wanted to drop a link to the War on Terror Boardgame and invite everyone to a game of it. Copies in the US and Canada have sold out, but I've preordered a copy which should arrive near the end of this month.

New Reality Show!

V and I came up with the next reality show: "You be the Judge." It's where contestants compete to be the next judges of the show. Each week they would critique various judges of other shows and the current judges would critique them. I nominate S as one of the inaugural judges.

Pranking the Super Bowl

Great video about the prank you didn't hear about.

NIN's new album

So I have yet to get the latest Nine Inch Nails album, but I plan to swing by Borders on the way home and pick one up because of this news.

Apparently the CD is completely black when purchased, but then changes after repeated playing to reveal some binary. The binary, when translated, directs you to this link:

The site contains a bunch of para-commentary about our increasingly surveillance-oriented society...and so NIN convinces me to buy another album. ;]

Movin' on up.

I was just offered the opportunity to move up to critical care. Aww yeah. True street doc! They'll also pay for an accredited class (UMBC). Woo hoo! In one year I went from I to P and now working on CC!

Speaking of WTF...

The Toynbee Tiles.
A political party I like.
The future of tape, and cheap gaff tape.

Slow day on the ambulance. Perversion Tracker.
Strange dice game? Can a math geek 'splain this? (And go here?) (Better info here.) <-- I wanna go on a trip with this guy.

Translate all your favorite heathen texts.

I've downloaded it. Here's a screenshot

It does all sorts of religions:
They have some great spoofs at The Daily Grind Network.
