FANEXPO, or Stockholm Syndrome for geeks
badideasinaction - 2 Comments

Last weekend FANEXPO rolled into town again. Billed as the sort of mega-everything expo in Canada, it's kind of a lower-rent version of Comic Con or Dragoncon, with the organizers getting some names like Shatner, Adam West, Burt Ward, and various others that don't come to mind.

FANEXPO is also a for-profit event - the organizers do this for a living. I'm okay with that. I do, however, take issue with the fact that the organizers take the attendees as cash cows and every year find new and innovative

Oh how delightful!

Roofers managed to punt raccoon shit down my kitchen air vent while I was at work. All over my range top, kitchen, etc. Now I will have to make sure I don't come down with anything nasty like raccoon pinworms, which apparently liken eyeball fluid to Capri Sun drinks.

My neighbor across from me was absolutely red faced raging. He got the same treatment and was loading all of his stuff into a pickup truck.

I hate these creatures. I've mentioned I hate these creatures. I'm about to go Captain Ahab on the entire species.

ok dude, i know i've been sucking for like a month now, but i'm gonna stop today.

i just listened to our song for the first time in a while; the bassline is almost finished, there's just a couple overdubs i have to do to tweak a few parts.

after the bassline, it'll be time for the 2nd and 3rd guitars.

after that, slide guitar (for the chorus).

after that, i think all that will be left will be the vocals, which, for this song at least, are the most important part. your lyrics have been

On Saving and Investing
pentheus - 3 Comments

This is a project I've wanted to do for a bit, just because a) people need to know it and b) I feel like brain dumping.

My background is almost a decade of retail asset management at most levels where I created, implemented, and managed individual's money - from artist's on budgets to college graduates to Hollywood producers with million dollar portfolios.

There is a lot of data directed at "retail investors" out there, most of it is somewhere between wrong and dangerous. This is because investing

This is me glaring at you, slightly disappointed.

(I have no emoticon knowledge or perfect gif to represent this, so just put a beared face in a nun's habit, and you should get the general idea.)

I've bragged about this song to people and now I am getting shit for it. "Where's the song, man, where's the song?!" What little credibility I have is crumbling, like a sandcastle in my hands.

Woe is me. WOE WOE WOE!

(Just kidding.)


Carny Origins
Cardigan Stubble - 8 Comments

Yeah, it's late. This was the first week I've had in a while to just relax for a bit.

Even when I was a young kid, carnivals used to fascinate me. Growing up in south Mississippi, there weren't a lot of things for an outsider to do. I had my studies, preaching, and aquariums but only one close friend. So when a carnival or traveling oddity came around, I was there. One that still stands out in my mind was the 'Ice Man' that wandered the US in roughly the late 70's (along with a '2 headed

TREK73
codehappy - 6 Comments

While farting around on the Internet, I found a page devoted to one of the original Star Trek games that were popular on timesharing computer systems back in the 1970s. This version of the game is pretty extensive, it has a lot of features.

Here is the source code.

This snippet at the very top is... well, interesting:

37 PRINT N$": MY SEX IS :"
38 ENTER T4,T,X$
39 PRINT
40 O$="SIR"
41 IF X$[1,1]="M" THEN 50
42 O$="MISS"
43 IF X$[1,1]="F" THEN 50
44 GOTO FNR(3) OF 45,47,49
45 O$="FAG"
46 GOTO 50
47 O$="FAIRY"
48 GOTO 50
49 O$="FRUIT"
