This morning I watched the briefing from Qatar, and the man giving the briefing mentioned that the Iraqis have no regard for the laws of war, which he described as rules which govern violent conflict. I’ve thought about that before, but I was struck again at how ludicrous that term is. The only people that […]
I just have to say:[topher@boktor topher]$ uptime3:12pm up 65 days, 22:26 I found more cool toys on thinkgeek today. Update: There’s now also an Activision controller with 10 more games. The Joystick This is the way TV video games were meant to be controlled. Even after all these years, the wierd nintendo game pads still […]
Author: Ben Bova NOTE: This review will contain spoilers for the last book, and a few from this book. I’ll start right off by saying I enjoyed this book much more than the last. There was far less politics and earth-bound shenanigans (though not completely gone). Rather than politically funded, this trip is largely commercially […]
Once upon a time, I used to do some… “exploring” shall we say, on my favorite college campus. There were tunnels, and attics and stuff. Many colleges have them.

I also noticed that the Non-Linear Groove website uses PEG for pictures. Thanks! 🙂 The other is a compilation of all the Silly Songs With Larry, from the Veggie-Tales. I’ve been […]
So tonight I took my wife to see How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It was much better than I expected. Several laugh out loud places, and it made my wife all snuggly, which is always a good thing. My favorite characters were His buddies. Very good comedy there. Result: If you’ve got […]
The March 9 issue of Business Week has a GREAT cover shot. I can’t find the URL for the large shot, but if you go here you can see a small version. There’s a another shot inside that I can’t find online that shows Bill tied down by a bunch of penguins in the way […]
So, the astute viewer will have noticed that today’s pic of the day is the same as yesterdays. I had about a weeks worth in there, all my kids, and then I watched America’s Most Wanted. They were doing a special on stalker and pedophiles, and pointed out that many find their nezt victims by […]
