Mistaken Lain Headgear

In the above banner ad, Liz is wearing a cute hat. On first sight, it appeared to be Iwakura Lain’s bear suit, a grave mistake which has absorbed many minutes of the day. This period of fanboying yielded significant disappointment as unfortunatly it turns out to be a Kitty Hat sold by SpunkyKitty, which is [...]

Circuity Omake Completion

Fred Gallagher finished up Circuity, his Haibane Renmei / Megatokyo Omake, today. There has been little conclusion intoward whether Largo* actually survived the encounter. Just as occured within the last omake, however, Piro is the only one left standing. That time, it was a result of his proactive assault of his coplayers. This time, however, [...]

Rainy Days

Downwardly drench belays elated spirits
grounded-can’t-fly in torrental rains.
Crrtsh Crack Boom echos across the daysky
darkness bathed in nondescript glow.
Torn clouds ache for fallen feathers
mid mornlight’s noonday dawn.

Gay marriage is a conspiracy against homosexuals.

Update: This is funny. Try not to be offended.
Mike from Shortpacked, by way of Dave Willis, made a brilliant observation about the negative side effects that legalized gay marriage will have on the homosexual population. The only flaw that I see in his postulation is claim that gayness is a genetic thing. This hasn’t been [...]

Charcoal Feather Lament

In forum-land did Shoka-san,
A somber-closing verse release:
Daimon, bard of girl renouned, grins,
With humor-filled charade: !-guins!
Charcoal Feather Lament
(archived. The above might not make sense.)

OpenID Ping Pong

Ben Hyde has put together an excellent illustation of the various calls and processes involved in OpenID validation. It would great if this diagram were augmented with one describing the equivalent process for an ajax-style solution.

An odd night in Windsor

I took lunch before 2200h. The night air smelt clean, and like rain. Little Caesars had a hot’n’ready great canadian up and actually hot, but not so much that I couldn’t wolf a slice down walking ‘cross the parking lot. A red minivan sequealed its tires, failing to mask the distinctive blaring of the Paperback [...]

Drive Migration

Reki has historically held onto my music and anime for me. She’s been a real sport about keeping it all organized, something I would never have been able to do on my own. For this, I am grateful.
However, in recent years I have been pushing Reki to help with my media-centric projects, giving her undue [...]

Network’s Downfall

- Loss of a Student-Accessable network
First they came for the Gamers,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Gamer.
Then they came for the Laptops,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I hadn’t a Laptop.
Then they came for the Programmers,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Networker.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no [...]
