Like many other people with DVRs and some affinity for sci-fi tv, I’ve been sucked into the new Battlestar Galactica series. I’m exhibiting similar symptoms to what my old college roommate said:

“It has some strange sort of mind control over me, I’m afraid to do anything else while I watch as I might miss something.”

Part of my attraction is that the executive producer is writing a blog about the show, with some entries being about the show and some being about his personal life. It lets the average consumer of the show ask questions of the main creative driving force, getting the answer straight from the source. I like that. Probably the best answers for me are to the more mundane questions, like “Why are the corners on the paper cut off?” and “Why “frack”?”.

But, every few entries, he just knocks the reader off kilter with something like “Don’t be a whore!“

Gizoogle just isn’t right.

But, it does remind me that yesterday on the way to work, I saw spinners on a beat-up late 90s blue Ford Aerostar minivan. Theys got tha bling-bling a goin’ on.

I was playing around with the camera, trying to get some decent shots of the ice. Some turned out okay, but this little chunk is my favorite.

I couldn’t agree with this guy more, NASCAR is failing the “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” model and has for quite some time. (Via Jalopnik)

There just aren’t any attractive ones. This gallery is full of some real winners. (via BoingBoing)

This bug has to be one of the ugliest things ever entered into Bugzilla.

So I don’t have to go searching for this every time I want to use it: FlyteComm. And airport delays from the FAA.

Respect for the fallen.

Read it.

One of the coolest pictures I’ve seen of the USS Arizona, it’s amazing what an ‘all hands on deck’ tribute can do.
