How John Ringo Ruined My Zombie Apocalypse

May 2nd, 2016

I have a zombie problem, a serious one. No, the dead are not walking up to my porch, pounding on the back door to get inside for a screaming snack. Those are just socialist wanna-be’s trying to get at any extra cash I may have stashed away. The zombie problem I have is more cerebral […]

Social Media is a pain in my butt

March 7th, 2014

I just went through the hassle of deleting my Google+ profile and wiping out all my circles, etc. Facebook is soon to follow. This isn’t a privacy thing- I gave up on that a while ago, no, this is a quality of life issue. On Google+ I was getting people adding me to their circles […]

Sliders

March 30th, 2013

I’ve been watching the old semi-sci-fi series Sliders on Netflix. I dimly remembered that one character, Wade Welles (Sabrina Lloyd) vanished between seasons. Turns out she got shipped off to a Cromag “Breeding planet” never to be heard from again. Seems cold to me….

November 9th, 2012

Finally pulled the plug on my Facebook account. It’s been a while in the coming- I certainly got sick of the politics during the election, and the way they seem to be insistent on steadily stripping away your privacy “for your own good” (read that, “For our profits”). So, today I finally did it. My […]

Fictional Presidential Speeches

January 7th, 2010

For no particular reason I found myself thinking about speeches delivered by fictional presidents in movies and I realized this was hands-down one of my favorites: I address you tonight, not as the president of the United States, or as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with […]

Valkyrie

December 27th, 2008

Saw Valkyrie with Tom Cruise tonight as the better half and I decided we needed a date. I liked the history being portrayed, but was skeptical that Cruise could pull off a decent German officer, particularly since he didn’t even attempt an accent. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn’t bother me at […]

Funniest Christmas Commercial Yet

Good-bye, Twitter

May 8th, 2008

I tried to like it, honest I did. But Christ, what waste of good bandwidth. I don’t care that much what you’re doing minute-to-minute, honest. Nothing personal, just don’t need to know. I tried filtering out the most prolific of the folks I was following… and if anything that made it worse. Sorry, that much […]
