- Welcome Home…Now Start Packing We're home. Generally speaking, this is a good thing: the wedding was wonderful, the experience at the resort was good, the camping was incredible, and even traveling home was surprisingly pleasant. The actual arrival home has been one of the most traumatic we've yet experienced, however. ➡

- Summer’s Ending… Scarecrows and sunflowers smile as summer slides into fall... ➡
- 2004
- Google Talk Jesus Christ died for our sins. BY his blood we shall be Free from defects in material and workmanship. ➡
- It’s only a matter of time Citing an unstable political climate, proven stockpiles of chemical and nuclear weapons, a rigidly government-controlled media, and the need to confront emerging threats in a timely fashion, President George W. Bush announced today that the United States has launched a full-scale invasion of the United States. ➡
- Let’s do the time warp again… I would so love living in a building when after riding the elevator to the 4th floor, you got off and asked, not where you were, but when you were. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's nothing more than an amusing typo. ➡

- ST:WJOTFIU Continuing in the spirit of my recent Star Trek posts, Iki proposes a new title for 'Enterprise': ST:WJOTFIU (or 'Star Trek: We're Just Out There Fucking It Up'). ➡
- Since when? The powerful truck bomb that ripped through the United Nations' headquarters in Baghdad on Tuesday, killing the top U.N. official in Iraq and at least 19 others, was the most brazen act of terrorism in the country since the U.S. invasion in March. ➡
- Texas pledge Honor the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible. ➡
- Compassion It looks suspiciously like Bush's definition of 'compassion' is hanging out with minorities, as it's something conspicuously absent in the rest of his photo album. ➡
- ActiVision sues Viacom…over bad Star Trek Activision, Inc....today announced that it has filed a breach of contract suit against Viacom. ...through its actions and inactions, Viacom has let the once proud Star Trek franchise stagnate and decay. ➡
- Counter-Googling …instead of consumers Googling you before they buy your services, you should Google THEM, and instantly get more personal information than you'd ever be able to capture with traditional 1:1 in an entire life-time. ➡
- I think… I think, therefore I mac. ➡
- A little stressed? The package must be received…no later than 11am on Friday…. Please call me…once the package is on its way? Otherwise I will lose my job. I shit you not. ➡
- Good things Bush has done Believe it or not, I do have one thing that I can completely seriously thank Bush and his administration for. ➡
- Dean in Seattle this Sunday As part of his campaign's use of the Internet, Dean has solicited commitments from supporters to attend each of his rallies, and so far more than 2,250 people have signed up to attend the Seattle rally, Means said. ➡
- Giant Gerbils I'm trying to decide what amuses me more — this Netscape News story about an infestation of giant gerbils in China, or the fact that the article mentions the fact that Britain has a National Gerbil Society. ➡
