Special Guest! I'll be away for a while, and, to keep things interesting, I've handed the keys to the car to Von Bark. He loaned me an apple II clone back in '84, he's trained in Telidon, and he likes kittens. So he's fully qualified. Friday, December 19, 2003
The other night I went here, and saw this. I feel happy if I can find the green extension cord to light up the minilights in the scraggly little bush in my front yard. The Lindsay brothers have it a little more together...they scare me. Make sure you see this stuff in action. Thursday, December 18, 2003
When I heard that there was going to be a live action Thunderbirds movie, I cringed a bit, thinking for sure they'd screw it up. Today, I saw the trailer, and it really looks like they didn't screw it up. Please, please, let the movie be even half as cool as those shots of Thunderbird 2! Note to younger readers: Please do educate yourself on this topic. Forget all your Transformers and Voltrons and whatever the hell you watched growing up. My generation had the coolest show ever.

Get a fresh bulb for the colour wheel, and a can of pine-scented air freshener and go to: Aluminumchristmastrees.net . Sunday, December 14, 2003

Finally, I think I've found a picture of a toy that I've had a vague half-memory of since I was little. I never had one, I just remember playing with it, but could never recall more than a few fragments, like a fan, a balloon, and a target-like thing. I remember it being black and yellow, though. I realize no one but me cares about this, but at least it's a cool toy. Update: Here's a better site. This is definitely the thing I remember. This has been bugging me for 30 years. Now can I can relax. Friday, December 12, 2003

Things to make and do. (Some of which may be dangerous) This man shares my tastes for some of the finer things in life. Tuesday, December 09, 2003
I think that looking at too many Virgil Partch cartoons at an early age permanently affected my ability to draw hands. Sunday, December 07, 2003
LED watches are cool again. I have a new one. Now I want some old ones. When I had one as a kid, I actually got a sore on my finger from pushing the button too much. A highlight of junior high shop class, circa 1977, was putting a buffing wheel on the bench grinder and taking all the scratches out of the faceplates. (at least for those of us who weren't making bongs, or sniffing Varsol) Friday, December 05, 2003

Leisuretown is gone! One last little taste here, for who knows how long. Anyone who has a copy of QA Confidential saved will be my friend for life. Tuesday, December 02, 2003
Skateboarding is not a crime. In Oregon. Meanwhile, here in Toronto, our dumb-ass politicians are still fighting bike lanes. Monday, December 01, 2003
There seem to be a couple punch cards missing in the HTML on this one, but no big deal. Lookit some Early Computers! |
