Stop. Just…. Stop.

Clearly not the answer he was expecting, huh?  I absolutely love how his face went from such a condescending attitude and smug look when he said "Oh, by the way, we still haven’t heard how much that fine is", to the look shown above.
I understand that McCain doesn’t like Obama, and that he feels some [...]

One of two great moments of the presidential debate

Daily Kos is having a caption contest for the following picture:

I haven’t been able to find any video yet of my favorite part of tonight’s presidential debate, but I’m looking hard, because it caused outright laughter from the entire group of people in the debate watching party here.

Ever have one of those days…

I R Not A Laptop Teknishunz

Wouldn’t you know it…  Pretty much as soon as I was ready to get back into SL and start updating stuff, my laptop dies.  This weekend the fan on my main laptop starting making the most horrible racket you ever want to hear from a computer, and within hours the fan stopped rotating altogether.  [...]

WTF – Password required to read SL Blog?!?!?!

Check out this dialog I was just presented with when I opened Firefox to read some of today’s blogosphere buzz :

Okay…  "Apparently there’s a picture or something in that blog post that is hosted on JIRA, which is causing the browser to ask me for my password", I thought to myself, "I should [...]
