Comedy Central apparently cancelled BattleBots season 6.0. This season will be the last. First Invader Zim, then Farscape, now BattleBots. Next, I’ll be hearing that The Amazing Race or Junkyard Wars is cancelled. When that happens, I might as well sell my TV. This further confirms my theory that network executives are idiots.

So I planned to do laundry this afternoon. I bring a load downstairs and discover that my upstairs neighbors are using my machines and my detergent! WTF?! So the next time I hear one of them head down there, I grab a box I had to bring down there anyway and “conveniently” bump into a […]

Finally working on my little Bakuretsu Con 2002 report. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any cosplayer photos…but Adam was nice enough to say I could use his. (…and he’s credited appropriately.)

Their web site is techpeople.com…because People Magazine has the real people.com domain. It strikes me as incredibly stupid that anyone would name a company after a domain they don’t have. “Gee, maybe I’ll go start a company called ‘Yahoo.com’ and put the web site […]

Northeastern University cancelled the course that I teach again. Apparently nobody wants to learn web design anymore. This is the second time in a row they’ve cancelled it. Damn. I was really looking forward to getting that monthly paycheck again. It wasn’t a lot of money and I can live without it, but it was […]

They’ve got a “Movie Mania” game going on where you can win prizes. Top prize is free movie rentals for life. (I’d almost rather have the DVD player prize since my […]

“Now they have this new Hood light block milk bottle, but I already have something that blocks the sunlight out of my milk bottle. It’s called… my refrigerator. I have another level of insulation around that called… my house. It cost me about $200,000 to build that little ecosystem.” – Paul Nardizzi

Yesterday was the silver (25th) anniversary of “CHiPs”. Why do I care? Because I was stupid enough to have made the world’s first web site for the show. (It started as a joke! I don’t even really like the show!) Anyway, over the last seven years, the site has grown and grown from information people […]
