  • Some of them want to use you, some of them want to get used by you

    On this rainy day, The Dude thought that he’d share some of the (less geeky) software he finds useful for those of his readers who use OS X (and you know who you are). First off, there is NetNewsWire (the Lite version is free), a RSS news reader. What is a RSS newsnreader? Well, you…

  • Everyone's a superhero, everyone's a Captain Kirk

    The Dude was having a conversation with his co-workers about one of those most controversial of geek topics: Kirk, Picard, or other (and you won’t be able to convince anyone to expand that list either). Upon completion of that most heated discussion (and don’t ask where The Dude stands on that argument), the conversation moved…

  • Sooner or later you'll get your second wind

    Aye— Happy St. Paddy’s day! The Dude did a quick google search, and here’s one for you: May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, The foresight to know where you are going, And the insight to know when you have gone too far. The Dude is trying out a new blog editor…

  • Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti

    The Dude is spending some time today listening to some soundtrack music, and surfing Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail. During his wanderings, he ran across this, which is the origin of a quote that our friend Sarge is fond of saying (with required wiggling finger in the middle of the forehead). The Dude has never actually…

  • I got my first real six-string, Bought it at the five-and-dime

    Attila is down for a nap, Deogee is as well, and it’s time to post this week’s second weekend post. The new job has kept The Dude hoppin’, so not a lot of time for fun and games. Hopefully things will start to slow down in a month or two, and get into more of…

  • I touch you once, I touch you twice

    Is The Dude the only person who thinks that Sarah Silverman looks like someone that we went to college with? Her show isn’t bad— it’s got some seriously funny moments, but it’s certainly no Dave Chappelle 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the 80s song lyrics…

  • You might think its foolish, This chancy rendezvous

    So Barack Obama has officially declared that he’s running for president. Between him and Clinton on the Dem side, and Giuliani and McCain on the Reps, this will make for an interesting election cycle. Of course, the election proper is almost two years away, but when did that stop politicians? 🙂 Thanks to those who…

  • I got me a car, it's as big as a whale

    Another relaxing Saturday afternoon: Attila is down for a nap, and Deogee is as well. Nothing of earth-shattering importance to discuss, The Dude hasn’t had a lot of time to follow the news, or TV, or radio, or well… anything. So here is your challenge: what has happened in the last two weeks that The…

  • How does it feel to treat me like you do?

    Well, not much to say today— so lets give away some Quatloos! 🙂 100 Quatloos to the first person to correctly identify the origin (title and artist) of the 80s song lyrics quoted on the title line without looking it up (ie. cheating).

  • Theres something about you girl, That makes me sweat

    A bright, cold and clear winter morning. Nothing quite like it to make you want to go outside and breathe in the air, just in order to feel that cold knife in your nose and chest, while at the same time making you very very happy that you are in a nice warm house, with…
