Video via Uncle Jay: My tattoo artist would have smacked my fool head and then would have banned me for life from the shop if I had EVAH kicked up a fuss like this woman.  And she would have been right to do so.   Not to say that there weren’t occasional cringy moments or… Continue reading

Four months ago I went to a fancy salon and we did highlights, lowlights, foils, colors, and layers over the course of three hours and to the tune of $150 and hardly anyone noticed (Himself, being a good partner, did notice).  This weekend I bought some stuff to help repair split ends and some conditioner… Continue reading

Click on this link to Uncle Jay’s place and judge for yourself.  We just have to worry about chipmunks, coyotes, and the occasional evil squirrel. Continue reading

He says:  “We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.” (Via Bret Jacobson at Big Government).  I wonder why he would think that this is a BAD thing since ignorance… Continue reading

From the Chronicle of Higher Education, an article by Kelly Field about Biden oohing and aahing to a bunch of college presidents about how critical academic research is to the stimulus effort.  BTW, there was $18 BILLION in the stimulus bill earmarked for academic research. The paragraph that kind of stuck out to me:  Mr.… Continue reading

Himself and I were gifted by the Mighty and Indomitable Og with a chance to go to the International Manufacturing Technology Show on Saturday.  There were robots that sorted things, there were robots that made robots, there were lasers, cutters, printers, wires, tracks, hydraulics, measuring devices, and there was one BIG robot that could lift… Continue reading

So I wander through Breitbart’s sites pretty much daily and there were two articles side-by-side and the content I found to be kind of interesting.  The first one, about Obama leaving “By Their Creator” out of his recitation of the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, came just before an article about the Obama’s actually… Continue reading

Brian Wood, a game developer, met that measure, in spades.  When he knew that an impact (from what turned out was a drunk driver) was imminent, he turned his vehicle deliberately so that he would take the impact, thus sparing the lives of his wife and unborn child.  Interestingly enough, his latest project was Company… Continue reading
