Take The Chapstick, Put It On Your Lips

I spent way too much money today.

But the Hornitos, Cointreau, Salt, and lime juice are making it all okay.

Later, Sookie.

All Things Go, All Things Go

This is just awesome:

Terrible video quality, but the sound isn’t too horrible, and they really do an amazing job. Watch it through if you can, they get really good closer to the end.

And all that malware crap on your Windows computer? Looks like the conventional wisdom is wrong, as usual, and it probably isn’t from all the porn you’re surfing.

I Got Nothing For Ya Today

We put up some new gutters yesterday, with the downspout directed at our new rain barrel. It was a pretty fun little project, and it should help protect the siding on our house a bit as well. We woke up this morning and the rain barrel was overflowing after literally one day. Oh well!

So… Instead of something real, I have this fun fan-made video for you:

My Idea of a Drum is a Button on a Drum Machine

So said Mr. Reznor in a Keyboard magazine article way back when.

I woke up on this miserable, rainy morning to a broken monitor on my main workstation downstairs. Thankfully, it should be still under warranty (unlike my Christie projector that broke last month 6 days after the warranty expired). But, you know, things happen. Heck… I could be constantly harassed by own government for the terrible crime of having exposed their rampant hypocrisy and anti-democratic behavior. Or, you know, I could be a Republican operative in PA-12 riding the incredible wave of anti-Obama sentiment to certain victory (or maybe not).

Sometimes the only way to solve it is with some unapologetic poppy-fun-music. These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes…

Think less but see it grow.

Also, this.

EDIT: Ask and you shall receive! The Christie Projector came back in from the repair voyage today.
