Please and thank you!
Commented Feb 13, 2012 on I have a very important question for everyone attending JoCo Cruise Crazy 2. at WWdN: In Exile
I have a very important question for everyone attending JoCo Cruise Crazy 2.
Saturday, I'm heading down to America's Wang to get on a boat, because JoCoCruseCrazy 2: Cruise Crazier is setting sail on Sunday. I hope that it lives up to this video that one of the cruisers (who named themselves Sea Monkeys) created: I know, right? Check out the video he made last year, bas...
I'd like to hear some Memories of the Future Volume 2.
Regarding WWAFNFUFFBNF, my wife would probably kill me if I suggested we not dress up (just bought a suit for this cruise), but shirt, tie, sport jacket with shorts and flipflops would be excellent. :)

Instead of handshakes or hugs, or whathaveyou, you should go for the Spaceballs Salute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13FcmlAZEAc). Makes me laugh every time.

This is a post about PAX Prime, which is suddenly upon us.
It's raining in Vancouver. Little rivulets of water are running down the window, as low clouds slowly move across downtown, swallowing up the tops of buildings as they roll by. I have a late call today. I'm in one scene, and then I'm off until next Monday. Tomorrow morning, I'm going home to get...
I thought Kindle could read PDF natively?

I really, really, REALLY hate DRM. Especially when it screws honest people.
I'm sure that many of you know that I hate DRM so much, it makes me want to punch babies. I have promised that I will never knowingly infect anything you buy from me with DRM. So you'll probably be as surprised as I am to learn that Lulu put Memories of the Future, Volume 1 into the iBook store ...
From Wikipedia (emphasis mine):
The lizards can frequently be found near human habitation and are notable for their fearless self-defense; they will often bite and defecate if handled.

Tomorrow, I go back to Eureka
“What’s the forecast for Vancouver?” Anne asked. “It’s in the 40s and raining,” I said. “Oh, that sounds awesome,” she said, in a tone of voice that indicated the opposite was actually true. “It’s okay,” I said, “I have my scarf and my jacket and my warm hat.” As I listed each of these items, ...
The weather up here isn't that bad.
Peeks outside
Crap. Yeah, it is. Pack warm.

I just checked the availability in my area. Now I know why I've not tried it before. The only Laphroaig that is carried near me is the Quarter Cask, or the 25 year. As much as I would love the 25 year, $600 is a little much!
Any idea how the Quarter Cask compares to the 10 or 15 year?

#whiskyface is proof that the fsm loves us and wants us to be happy
Last night, my friends and I had a whisky tasting. As we neared the end, we were all feeling pretty happy … so I grabbed my silver sharpie and drew this, which I called #whiskyface. It’s not as funny now as it was after several wee drams of scotch, but I think it's still worth sharing. Preempt...
I like a good peaty scotch. How does Laphroaig compare to Lagavulin (my current favorite)?

Actual conversation from this morning's drive in to work.
ME: Hey, did you know Wil Wheaton's Hunter is on Kindle today for 99 cents?
WIFE: Really?
ME: Yeah!
WIFE: some clicking Hey, got it!
I love living in the future...

HUNTER is in the Kindle Store for 99 cents
Project Kindle Store Get Books In has begun: I started with Hunter because it was already in .mobi format, and it's my most recent thing (it's still in pay-what-you-want-even-nothing format, incidentally.) Assuming the world doesn't implode around me, I'll get Sunken Treasure in the Kindle stor...
The reclaim privacy tool is really quite excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who uses Facebook and doesn't want to leave (yet).

on the internet, nobody knows that you're a dog
I mentioned this on Twitter, but as Twitter has grown and grown (congrats, Biz and Ev!) it's become very "in the moment" and not the best place to put very important things like this: There's a page on Facebook that appears to be mine. The problem with this is that I don't use Facebook, and I do...
What I really love about the E.T. game is that they produced more game cartridges of the game than there were 2600s to play them on!
Either they thought that this game was so awesome that people would want two copies, or they thought that this game was so awesome people will go out a 2600 just so they can play it. Either way, someone high up in Atari thought that this game was in fact, awesome.

the most beguiling, horrible, opposite-of-fun experience I'd ever had
Reader G.M. e-mailed this picture and said, "How the f**k I ever believed that THIS was E.T., I'll never know -- but I still played it for hours and hours." The picture unlocked a memory I haven't thought about in a long time, but wanted to share: Around 1982 or 1983, before City Walk at Un...
