OB-GYN Kenobi.

Eleven slightly irritated people of mixed gender

So I got selected for the jury. I suspect it was because I was juror #3 as we walked in for selection, and I didn’t say or do anything that was disagreeable enough for either side to eliminate me. I was a little shocked when they called my name to go sit in [...]

Aw, Crap.

Today I was selected to sit on a jury. Whoopee.
And for some bizarre reason, they don’t allow knitting needles in the courthouse. I am in hell.

Migrated!

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Okay, I’m migrated – this blog is now being served up by WordPress. I’m very happy about this. Hopefully we’ll see a decline in the whole comment spam thing…

Time to move on

Actually, you *can* stop the signal

Fascinating concept from an old Schlock Mercenary strip.
An energy shield is also a Faraday Cage. In combat involving energy weapons, how do you tell the difference between ordinance and information?

Let’s all bow our heads and pretend to be serious for a moment

Saturday, October 8th, 2005

I had expected my first thought upon waking up this morning to be “Where am I?” I am one of those people who doesn’t usually adjust all that well to travelling. I wake up in a hotel and for a split second wonder if something has gone terribly wrong. Then the recognition [...]

It’s ba-aaack

Hey, it’s back! For the third time, the ferocious MA-2004 Attack Moth has graced the stucco walls of the breezeway outside my front door.

I got several shots of the little guy this time. Right after the last one, its wings started vibrating. The vibrations got bigger and bigger until it lifted up [...]
