Caption Contest #1 - And the winner is…

Remember the Caption Contest we had about a week back? (Yeah, me either. That was SO last week, man). Anyways, Sarah is the winner, with her caption “steven tyler as a chicken”. I’ll pick something from the goodie-box, which I’m sure she’ll treasure for about 1.2 seconds. Thanks to everyone for participating, and stay subscribed [...]

“I’m not touching you… I’m not touching you…”

Apparently there was a Kiai Master (a style of martial arts which has legends of people knocking over huge, inanimate objects with a shout, and apparently in this gentleman’s style, allows him to knock over scads of students with stunt-man-like punches) who wagered $5,000 that he could beat any MMA fighter.

New Series: From Rush to R30 - A listening retrospective

In preperation for the new release of Rush’s latest studio album Snakes and Arrows (on May 1st, 2007) I’ve decided to not only listen to every album I have of Rush by year, but I’ll also post a review of each album (and each track). Rush has been a pivotal band for me, both in [...]

Burn the Training Wheels

I’ve decided to enter the Pyweek challenge. This is a one-week challenge where the participants try to create a game in one week using Python. Think speed chess and a marathon wrapped up into one. What makes this even more interesting for me is I’m just learning Python and I’ve never shipped a game outside [...]

Caption Contest #1
