Too Much Spare Time How Is It Possible?
October 16th, 2008 —5:36 pm

JM, a loyal cow-orker of mine, sent me a link to this story about a guy that plays 36 World of Warcraft characters—simultaneously.

August 18th, 2008 —10:49 am

Tomorrow is my 5th Blogiversary! Yes, I’ve managed to keep blogging, although not always daily, for five years now.

I have, however, kept an average posts per day of 1.39. In the 1,825 days since I started, I have posted 2,546 times.

For some reason, I thought this was yesterday, but upon consultation of my calendar, I find it is tomorrow instead.

As if being a Star Trek nerd isn’t enough. The nerds at New Voyages (“Bringing the original series to the next phase”) are creating new ST episodes. They even have some of the original actors.

At least I’m comfortable in my middle-of-the-road nerdiness.

You can’t believe everything you read on Wikipedia (it’s fixed now). For example:

Physically, Canada is similar in appearance to the Moon as it is heavily cratered. It has no natural satellites and no substantial atmosphere.

Mercury, or Canada?

Heh, no substantial atmosphere.

If you know me, you know I have a lot of hobbies. One hobby I’m glad I don’t have is making giant Darth Vader balloons to fly around in.

I am speechless. This makes me cry. Not the overall technical aspect, which is in itself astounding, but for the sheer amount of someone’s spare time that must have gone into this project. You must watch the Lego Car Factory in action.
