Remember the classic arcade game astroids? It’s that, but with multiplayers and stupidly fun.
Uses For Old Computer

What Are These Ads Trying To Say?
My guess is they’re trying to sell sex, but you be the judge.
He May Be 74…
…but if you’re going to try to rob him, don’t call him old man, or he’ll whoop your butt.
Retired grandfather Bruce Ferraro, 74, has several bumps and bruises to show for the struggle he endured with a 32-year-old attacker who picked the wrong senior citizen to mug.
“When he called me ‘old man,’ the adrenaline went in. If you want to take my wallet, that’s one thing, but don’t insult me,” he tells CBS 2.
How To Advance In The Workplace
This is a strictly a mathematical viewpoint and it goes like this:
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then :
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
and,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, but it’s always the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.
(Thanks for a co-worker for this joke.)
Leaving Town
I’ll be offline for the next couple days. OK, I won’t be offline, but I won’t be as wired as usual or at least won’t be in front of my laptop as much (though I’ll still have it with me). I’m heading over to Newberg tomorrow night with the wife and kids to visit my wife’s baby sister at George Fox U. She’s a frosh there, and I’ve never seen the campus, and we needed to get out of town for a bit. Today was a long, ugly day at work, with all sorts of stuff going wrong, and it’ll be nice to just get away from technology for a day or so.
I’ll have my laptop with me and will probably check my email (mostly so I can filter out the crap) so you’re still welcome to e-mail me (especially if you have large sums of cash you want to give me for some apparent reason), just don’t expect me to respond immediately (unless you have large sums of cash then I’ll give you my cell number).
What Are Your Radio’s Memorized Stations?
I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I primarily listen to the radio when I’m in the car. I rarely listen to CDs, I don’t have an MP3 player or XM/Sirius. I just enjoy terrestrial radio. Over the years I’m tweaked those six favorite station buttons on my stereo, and after thinking about it, I probably have one of the bigger variety of stations in my six saved on my stereo than most.
So here are my six, in no particular order (some local stations, but some local translators from valley stations as well):
- KKCU 92.7 (new independent rock/pop/whatever station).
- KLRR 101.7 (I remember when these guys were on 107.5).
- KPOV 106.7 (Bend Community Radio).
- KLCC 88.1 (Public Radio from Lane Community College in Eugene — local translator).
- KWAX 88.9 (Classical Music — Translator from station based at University of Oregon).
- KWLZ 96.5 (Classic rock out of Warm Springs — wish it came in better sometimes, as I prefer it over KTWS, as there’s a better variety)
So what’s on your radio speed-dial?
Why Does That 500GB Hard Drive Only Have 465GBs of Usable Space?
Here comes the science. This was one of the easiest to follow descriptions of the math behind this and how it’s only going to get worse as larger drives come about.
Most Commented On Entries
It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but here are the 30 most commented-on entries on this site. Much of it is either a) Idiot Bait, b) Crazy People looking for a place for chat or c) All of the above. Most of it is on older entries (this is a nearly five-year-old site, after all) that get picked up via google searches. Most of the time, the comments are far better (or scarier) than the entries themselves.
