You may have noticed that I didn’t finish up my story of the giant monster invading Sacramento yesterday. I’m afraid I just kind of ran out of steam. I like the story though and I intend on following up on it; maybe one of the last Stories of the Week. Anyway… To those of you [...]

A few years ago I read an article about how the larger a creature gets, the less it is able to maintain its structural integrity; the volume of a creature cubes as its surface area squares. In other words, the bigger, the heavier. Take an ant, make it a thousand times bigger, and its legs [...]

If the rumors are true, then there’s definitely something rising up out of the Sacramento River near Old Sacramento. The Delta King has been destroyed, and so have a number of buildings in the area. From my house, almost three miles away, I can hear sirens blaring down the highway and the streets of the [...]

I have no idea what this is, but I found this picture of the Sacramento River online somewhere. It’s obviously taken from a mobile phone. I have no idea what that black blob is:

The aftershocks from last night’s earthquake have been coming in fast and furious, it seems, much more rapidly than they should. Or so it seems to me at least. I’ve lived in California all my life, and I’ve been through many earthquakes. I still have vivid memories of the Loma Prieta quake that took out [...]

A quick side note for my new online friends, especially on Twitter and Facebook: Today is “Blog Like It’s the End of the World“, a challenge for bloggers to spend the day blogging as though the world were coming to an end for whatever reason. Traditionally (at least as far as something in its third [...]

One of my favorite places to go in Sacramento is Old Sacramento. I love the old buildings, the cobbled streets, and especially the Railroad Museum. I was planning on going there today, in fact, but apparently Old Sacramento’s been evactuated and closed down. I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ve heard rumors that there’s something [...]

Tomorrow is Blog Like It’s the end of the World, a day where people all over the world conspire to write their blogs as though the world were coming to an end. In 2007 and 2008, the world was under attack by zombies, and according to the folks who are putting it together this year, [...]

The worst part was what happened to Pat Robertson, who came to California to berate us, telling us that the zombies had attacked us because we had given gays the right to marry and then done the same for the zombies. He had drawn a huge crowd of conservatives and family rights folks to his [...]

Aw crap! The zombies got too much. They’ve become emboldened by their victory in the California State Legislature and Assembly, and now they’re walking the streets! People are being attacked, dragged to the ground, eaten in ways that are just so typically zombie. I can hear the conservative commentators chortling away on the radio even [...]

After long intense meetings with the Governor, the California Assembly and Legislature have passed legislation recognizing the rights of metabolically challenged Americans everywhere to marry, vote, and enjoy all the rights that other Americans have as well. Victory for humanity, alive and otherwise, everywhere? Or sure sign of the apocalypse? There are of course those [...]

I suppose that a backlash against the zombie rights movement was inevitable. Too many people are entrenched in the old ways of doing things. I think the last straw, though, really was when the undead contingent, enheartened by the recent victory of the gay rights movement, starting demanding the right to marry the living. As [...]

While zombies are apparently wreaking havoc and devastation worldwide, here in Sacramento, California, life seems to be going on as normal. For the most part, at least. I mean, it’s California. When you’re undead and bored and you’ve exhausted the cerebral eateries in the rest of the continent, where else are you going to go [...]

Yargh. Work’s been awfully busy today what with me reporting to my boss on my experiences at MoodleMoot and various attempts to integrate Articulate with Moodle through SCORM I just haven’t had time to blog about the zombie attacks. Why couldn’t Friday the 13th have come on a Saturday?

Past midnight here in California and I have work tomorrow. The week’s been pretty long already what with the conference and my lungs acting up today and all the whatnot. Yes, the lungs. We’re experiencing a drought in California. It must be true, because Governor Schwarzenegger said so, and the Terminator doesn’t lie. Plus it’s [...]
