Somewhere, there is a picture of me smiling ear to ear with an arm draped over a 13 inch television. on the television, barely visible, is Kefka disintegrating. It was 1995 and I was the happiest sonuvabitch in the world.
I also owned a nice hardcopy copy of Gibbon’s decline and fall and had 2 vintage IBM computers, complete with printer.
I would play Warcraft II for the first time in a few months.
Will I ever be as cool again?

I am an internet man, so I’m usually on the web pretty hard.
Today, I learned about the super-cool-but-never-mass-produced-and-well-named B-58 Hustler, which was the first in the proud heritage of American jet-powered aircraft that could end the world or at least ruin your day. Early jet pilots were either insane or crazy, depending on your point of view. Chuck Horner and Tom Clancy’s oddly-awesome Every Man A Tiger, in which Horner relates his mucho appreciated military careet, including flying some aircraft that look definately non-gravity defying.
Then, I read about two years worth of Overcompansating (for perhaps the third time) – I’ll be god-damned if it doesn’t speak to this man’s soul.
My doubleTwist experiment is going badly, as the program doesn’t know how to kill with fire earlier copies of podcasts and nobody needs 9 episodes of the History of Rome in triplicate on their phone. Especially since the Evo’s battery wouldn’t last through 3 of them in the subway system, RF emitting frantically for a reply, slowly microwaving my left leg.
Still looking for an awesome manual typewriter in some thrift store in this city so I can fall in love with it, ignore it for six months and then sell it for a tidy profit on ebay come Chrismastime.
Good day, in all.

here’s a sneak preview of the Spring 2010 photoset:
and before you ask, yes, I was watching Quincy, ME while playing with my camera.

After my first post regarding iPad wallpapers, I got some feedback to the tune of “dude, it gotta be 1024 square so it elegantly resizes regardless of portrait or landscape orientation.
So, here’s the first one I got from an ancient D&D book (Dragonlance, 2nd edition, from Time of The Twins if I remember correctly) as well as one from the first trilogy.
Enjoy.

I can’t take credit for the illustration, but I ran across this when I was looking through my old D&D books.
Raistlin battling Fistandantilus back in ye olden 2nd edition.
Anyways, I chopped it up into the right resolution (1024×768, portrait) for those Ipad havers. Or someone using a five year old 15″ LCD wrong.
Direct Link, just in case.
Until the pixel ratio is a little closer to 16:10 or 16:9, I won’t be getting an iPad, btw.

You know, a time machine that can only go back to post 1800 and doesn’t have wi-fi.
2001 – Take Amy Winehouse to an Orbital show. Cause I don’t think taking Lily Allen to an Underworld show in 2003 would have the same ending.
1854 – Bitch slap Lord Cardigan and take his sweet sweater – thus making cardigans stankiewiczes. Also, I’d re-write those orders so even Lucan didn’t send a bunch of aristrocrats to die pointlessly. I’d still advise him to get into cattle, though.
1890s – Think of a better name than “concentration camp.”
1994 – Steal Kurt’s shotgun, replacing it with a 2 ft wawa hoagie (thinking turkey).
early 2009 – put that cable splitter I keep on moving, and subsequently lost, somewhere obvious.
May 1, 2009 – No point in tempting fate, just leave my iPod Touch at home that day.
1944 – Put sugar in Rommel’s gas tank, get knighted.
2007 – Buy 2 sets of Shure e2cs for $40 each, instead of 1.
1996 – Not throw out that IBM model M keyboard.
2007 – Buy 2 Tivoli Model 1′s for $50 each, instead of 1.
2007 – Slap myself for thinking of buying a Averatec laptop.
2006 – Duct tape my 4th generation iPod to my past self when on Greyhound.
2005 – Pick up that discontinued minidisc player. It was only $30 for chrissakes.
1989 – Make my parents take me to pre-revival Times Square.
1994 – Buy an extra copy of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, keeping them in a minty-fresh box for future sale.
