For some reason tonight, I’m feeling artsy-fartsy and sarcastic. I’m feeling like tipping over apple carts and pissing people off… well, just for the lulz, really. Good thing I’m no longer anywhere near a transmitter of any kind! … Read more
Yeah, this is exactly the person I picture as being a future substance abuse counselor. (Or is this stock photo supposed to represent the addict?) 😯
Every once in a while, there’s an unexpected dividend to being on Facebook, aside from getting to hear how crappy everyone’s Black Friday shopping/working experiences were, or finding out who found the damn lost sheep in Farmville. Once of my classmates found this, scanned it and posted it – I don’t think I still have my own copy of this anymore!

“So that’s it?” you’re asking. “No posts in over a month, and you post a picture of a stupid frog?”
Well, yeah. Something like that. … Read more
Oh, Facebook sidebar ads, now I know you’re screwing with me.
In other news, the Avid lives! I’ll be picking it up this weekend, in what will almost certainly be the least stressful thing I do all weekend. I’m looking forward to having it back home and working – especially since we’re having more cold nights and I could use some heat in my room. 🙄
One other thing – admittedly very geeky – that has brought a smile to my face is this prop replica made by a friend who usually turns his talents to customizing action figures and the like:
…give up? This is, of course, a shockingly good replica of an original Blake’s 7 teleport bracelet. About 23 years ago, I would’ve proudly worn this thing out in public. 😆 For now, I’ll settle on displaying it next to my HAL-9000 prop… at least until Jump Cut City goes back into production (oh, the screen time this thing would have gotten back then). Many thanks to Hoosier Whovian.… Read more
Okay, surely now they’re just screwing with our heads.
I mean, seriously, who sold one of the stock photo libraries a picture of their Great Uncle Hubert thinking “What is that thing? Get it out of my face!” about the digital camera that was thrust into his face?… Read more
Yesterday I railed against what seemed like an oddly inappropriate choice of stock photo for a Facebook ad promoting grants and scholarships for dads wanting to go back to school. It would seem that my concerns have been heard, and the photo has been replaced by…
…the GEICO caveman?!? I’m expecting a stock photo of Verne Troyer next.… Read more
For some reason, the Firefox plugin I have that has so successfully hidden Facebook ads has suddenly stopped working. So I’m getting the sidebar ads again. No real biggie, I’m sure someone will figure out how to defeat them again. But in the meantime, I’m somewhere between chuckling and going “WTF?!?” at this sidebar ad that’s popped up a few times over the weekend:
Okay, Facebook. WTF? Are the ads just pulling random images across the board? Or is this the advertiser’s idea of what dad is really going back to college for?… Read more
