I need taller trash cans or a shorter dog

And since Kali is a miniature Dachshund… I understand how she can knock over the small trash cans around the house, but the kitchen trash can is much taller.  Of course, it has the best stuff in it.  Personally, I suspect collusion with the cats, but whatever the truth is, it doesn’t really matter, because [...]

Quote of the Day (from yesterday)

From the guys at Hillbuzz: But, we still can’t figure out why Avatar makes so much money.  We thought it was essentially Disney’s Pocahontas, but with Smurf-cats and a planet that had about 6 different kinds of animals on it, all of which were just blue, six legged versions of the animals here.  Like they [...]

Confirmation (as if it was needed) that I am a complete nerd

I’ve talked about fan films before.  (That should be a clue.)  I just found out about this one.  It is supposed to be available for download on Sunday, but I’m already having trouble getting connected to the web site, so I’m guessing the site will get hammered at release time. If you’re interested in this [...]

Perhaps a new classic

While I was buying something else at Heavy Ink, I discovered that Phillip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep”¹ is being made as a 24 issue comic book².  It appears that the series will feature the entire text of the book.  It will be interesting to see how that works out.  (And yes, [...]
