Happy Pi Day!!

Why have I never noticed that before?!?!?

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

A Peek into Borepatch's Life

What with his new puppy and all, I imagine life inside Borepatch's secure compound is a little like this:

Why vegetarianism?

From a discussion over at UserFriendly.org on "Why vegetariansim"?:

Brace Yourselves

Symphony for typewriter

I love this video



So many times, orchestra and chamber music are treated as such serious things. To be a patron of the arts, you have to be wealthy. Everybody is in evening gowns for the women and tuxedos and white ties for the men. This shows a much lighter side to it all.

I'm not sure which I like better, the pure joie de vivre shown by the typist, the smiles and reactions by the other orchestra members, or the thunderous applause by the audience at the end.

I think this one would warm the cockles of even Borepatch's heart :-D

do
{
    Console.WriteLine("I love my job!")
} while (1 == 1);

Yeah, it's one of those days.

Star Wars in Iconoscope

From a mailing list that I'm on:

Star Wars retold in Iconoscope

Scene 25 made me laugh out loud.

That is just too cool, but in truth, it's also inside baseball. If you haven't seen the movie, I don't think you'd really understand the whole thing.

Upgrading the Castle Defense

It seems that surveillance footage of the Castle has been released, and the Gormogons are busy upgrading its defenses:

*pew* *pew* *pew*

Definition of Force

I might have to order one of these for Dr. J and have it shipped to the Castle:

Hair Club for Vikings and Dwarves

Are you a less-than-hirsute dwarf? Do all of your friends laugh at you because you can't carry three meals worth of crumbs in your beard?

Do all the Viking longships pick you last, because they're embarrassed to look at you? Do the women have longer chin hairs than you do?

Well never fear, there is a solution!!

Something to meditate on

Serendipitous Facebook is serendipitous.

First, a friend posts the following image, which made me chuckle:

Honestly, my first thought was "they didn't delete their cookies!!!".

Yeah, I'm a geek.

Then, not 5 minutes later, another friend posts this:

Yeah, I LOL'd.

A lot.

In Memoriam, or In Celebritas?

I guess it depends on the color of your blaster bolts.
