Spoilers!

With all the Harry Potter spoiler paranoia (heck, I’m disconnecting for the weekend!), I figured I’d post a few spoilers for you that aren’t necessarily related.  Here they are:

The ship sinks.
Anakin turns into Darth Vader.
Rosebud was his sled.
He was dead the whole time.
The aliens are killed by the common cold.
Gollum bites the ring off Frodo’s [...]

A blip of no consequence

Thanks to Phil Plait at Bad Astronomy, I’ve discovered a new web comic:  Home on the Strange.  You should check it out.  It speaks to my heart because it is about a thirty-something married nerd couple.  Granted, the lead male character, Tom, is a former punk rocker while I have never listened to a complete [...]

Not Wasting Time!

…And to prove that I haven’t been wasting time, here’s my very first video on YouTube.  Recognize it?

Yep, it’s the singin’ brain!  Huzzah!

The Hauntening

Naturally, I love this:

Thanks to Neatorama for the heads-up.

What the MPAA has to say

Apparently it’s because because I used the word "sexy" five times, and the word "crap" once.  What a potty-mouth!
(Meme swiped from the Adventures in Ethics and Science blog, of all places.)

More Joy

Via the Panda’s Thumb, I found this video of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, "edited for rednecks".  It’s lifted straight from last night’s episode of Family Guy, which I’m afraid I missed.

Occasionally people ask me how I can be a Christian and still believe in things like evolution, the big bang, and so on.  Putting [...]

Let’s Break Your Brain

Via David Brin’s blog (have you not read anything by David Brin? No? What the hell’s wrong with you?) I found this article regarding another idea about the ultimate fate of our universe; rather than the ultimate heat death as has been occasionally predicted, or the Big Crunch as has alternately predicted, this new model [...]

Just found this on-line radio station:

Excellent music!  Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, and more.  Gotta love it.

Braiding the Monkey

On Monday, a bunch of us piled into our office manager’s van for the fifteen mile drive from our office to the main division office where the Halloween party was. Climbing into the passenger seat behind the office manager’s, I noticed that she has a stuffed monkey attached to the headrest on her seat. [...]

More zombies!

The website How Stuff Works has a great article on How Zombies Work. It’s mostly about Hiatian zombies and the mythology surrounding them, but it also covers zombies in modern movies as well. Remember that article about Pittsburgh being unprepared for a zombie attack that I posted last week? Maybe it’s time to break [...]

Animusic Marble-Instruments

This is the coolest music video EVER!

The Gospel According to Anne

I know this is actually rather old news, but it hadn’t really hit me before. Anne Rice going back to her Catholic roots? I only hope she doesn’t do for Christianity what she did for the vampire genre.

Abby… someone…

I haven’t vanished off the face of the Earth. It’s just been a bit of an insane weekend. Yesterday we went and got both of the cars thoroughly washed then went for a massive shopping trip at CostCo. Today we went to the pumpkin patch and got ourselves a couple of massive [...]
