greg & donny

Pittsburgh (er, Johnstown, same thing) has a culture. Here it is. I picked one about the internet to make it vaguely relevant.



Check out the one about hummus, also!

Apologies in advance...

2010 - the last gasp for WoW and auto-tune. One can still hope.

Brought to you by the same fine folks that made Auto-tune the News.

Again, all apologies.

I swear...

this guy looks like someone I know, but I can't put my finger on it.

from retro to present

My friend today just schooled me in modern tech history regarding the new F-35. Kinda reminded me of ghost imaging even though this has nothing to do with it. Still, pretty interesting.

"Guest" posted this in the shoutbox, but it's worth a feature on the main page and connected feeds. Nice to be reminded of what a bright, weird future the '70s and '80s held. Thanks, "Guest"!

Lucky you live Hawaii

It's been great being home and meeting some of you. Mostly, I've been just driving around the island (meaning circumnavigating the island - H1 west to H2 through north shore to Kaneohe then through Waimanalo back around Makapuu to Kahala and back to Nuuanu/Alewa) in my rented convertible, getting sun, and enjoying the scenery.

I never took the time to just go out to the "country" while I was growing up here and now that I live in the land of snow and blizzards I realize what I was missing. Sometimes you guys don't know how good you have it.

Paddleboarders off Mokolii "little lizard" Island - also known by the un-PC "Chinaman's Hat" during my yoot - shot off of Kuuloa Beach Park.

A sea turtle in the surf off of the north shore at a beach my brother dubbed "Mangled Spines" to throw off the cowardly - just east of Haleiwa.

A different sea turtle (honu) sunning itself on the beach.

Sucks to have to go back to Minnesota.

another stupid survey

based on a conversation i had with fugu re: JJ Abrams new Star Trek.

who was the best captain and why?

which series is the best and why?

oh - and this isn't about which captain or series you feel is the best - this is scientific and rational dammit.

Underdog script

Happy New Year, everyone. This year my mom has gotten to know Chet Stover, one of the creators of Underdog. God I love Underdog! He sent me his original hand-typed script for episode #21: Shrinking Water(Part II)*. Wow!

He said he wouldn't mind if I posted it, so here you go:

*I'm not 100% sure if Shrinking Water (Part II) is the most important story, Mr. Pony.
