Slashdot introduced me to this “obsessively detailed map of Springfield” this morning. I rather like the town’s layout. The obvious next move is to build the city in your favorite Sim of choice (e.g. SimCity). Bonus points for anyone that can do it in Rise of Nations. While this covers the Simpson’s, I’m hoping that… Continue reading Map of Springfield

Drumming in Gainesville (Cont.)
I’m just getting home from our session on the square this evening. Balthazar (who’s 1.5 years old as of this writing), insisted on staying up the entire time. Last time he fell out after a couple of hours. This time he remained pretty lively – though walking like a drunk – and he played drums… Continue reading Drumming in Gainesville (Cont.)
Drumming in Gainesville (Again)
I’m going to be on the square in Gainesville if you want to drop by and give it a listen. We did this a few weeks back and had a great success. There’s food and coffee nearbye (including spirits at The Brickhouse), so you won’t be out of touch with your more basic needs. My… Continue reading Drumming in Gainesville (Again)
Algal Blooms for your Spring Decorating Tips
From a product I viewed (MoCoLoco: Algue) recently, home decor takes an organic leap forward. The product is one of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec’s designs. The Bouroullec’s are brothers in the modern art industry. Some of their material is on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art, and their resumes continue to impress.… Continue reading Algal Blooms for your Spring Decorating Tips
Bathroom Etiquette
This should probably be a meme if it isn’t already (note to self…). I have a list of things I would like to post in regards to bathroom etiquette. Please follow these simple guidelines when in my presence. *Do NOT* talk to me whilst I piddle or poo. Talking to me during a piddle is… Continue reading Bathroom Etiquette
Missile balloons!
Engadget – www.engadget.com This distinctly reminds me of an old bumper sticker of mine. It read, “Legalize Vehicular Weaponry.” I’m pretty much a firm believer in this as; a) I drive very well with more courtesy than many, and b) I play games that give me experience in this sort of thing – if you… Continue reading Missile balloons!
Dragon*Con – Saturday
Our first day at Dragon*Con was pretty good. It feels a little different having a baby with grandma while we’re out. We hope to have him along by this time next year, but he probably won’t be interested in spending the week just yet. We’re heading back tomorrow late in the afternoon. We have to… Continue reading Dragon*Con – Saturday
Dragon*Con 2004
Tomorrow begins our annual visit to Dragon*Con. The times are always good, and I hope to even learn a thing or two. I should have many pictures to share within the albums afterward (and during for that matter – this is a blog). Head over to the Dragon*Con photo album to see this and past… Continue reading Dragon*Con 2004
A Chat with Microsoft
Today I sat with Julius B., a SQL guru with Microsoft, and discussed the implications of the OpenSource movement with him. This is an interesting conversation to have with a Microsoft goon, but a good one nonetheless. His take on OpenSource was familiar; that without corporate backing and support, there can be no consistency in… Continue reading A Chat with Microsoft
Drumming in Gainesville (Cont.)
I just got back from the open drum circle we put on in downtown Gainesville. I can’t tell you how cool it was. Lot’s of people got involved, either just to listen or to actually get up there with us and play. We had a better turn-out than we expected. Hell, we half-expected to get… Continue reading Drumming in Gainesville (Cont.)
