I got this spam the other day: Today millions of people all over the world receive this letter. What we longed for and had a presentiment about – has happened. A doctor from Russia has discovered the secret of the “Elixir of Youth”. Whether the pharmacological companies want it or not, mankind is faced with [...]
“I’m a strong believer in the philosophy of a ruling class. Especially since I rule.” – Randall in Clerks That about sums up how I feel right now. When I set up KillingMachines.org, it was the first time I had ever put up a website with a clear goal in mind. And not just a [...]

A few too many pieces of olive and sausage pizza for dinner. A couple too many Dr. Peppers before bed. Alarm clock set for 9 AM. Programming problem that you can’t quite solve.
I finally finished my Max OSX style skin! Head over to the options page and select “Aqua” from the drop down menu. There’s only one catch. It won’t work right under Internet Explorer on a PC. Microsoft has this stupid bug involving transparent .png files, so it’ll look really weird on there. However, if you’re [...]

I went and checked out the aftermath of the fire that crisped an entire block of Portland today, near 12th and Salmon… It was after midnight, and the fire had abated, save for a few smoking hot spots which were being vigorously hosed down. But aside from that, it was chilling/fascinating to stare at the [...]
i haven’t slept well in months. my room is large and the walls are empty, except for a few photographs of stephanie and me, an arrangement of leaves my sister gave me when i moved to california, a whiteboard, and a chinese painting on fabric (red fabric, which signifies a good life – it was [...]
I spend at least 8 hours a day sitting a room measuring 8 feet by 7 feet. My desk is against one wall, and holds my 19 inch monitor that I stare at all day long and wonder if it’s giving me cancer. My decent speakers and the subwoofer I got from Egghead when the [...]

“And in the news tonight, a stowaway bear is causing trouble for space shuttle astronauts.” – Kent Brockman on the Simpsons
One of the headlines for this mornings Oregonian: BUSH FAINTS AFTER CHOKING ON A PRETZEL Physician says he is fine, except for a few facial injuries from falling off the couch.
Here’s my screenshot of my system running Microsoft Fisher-Price Windows XP. For me, the thing that’s really making this OS worthwhile is all the little touches that they’ve added. It’s all minor stuff that doesn’t really matter, but now that it’s there, it really makes the experience better. Things like transparent icon text on the [...]
I went to see the Royal Tenenbaums last night with Sean and Annie, and I’ve decided that I want a blatant lie carved on my tombstone. Perhaps one of the following: Died defending the planet from an invading race of horrific toad-men. Perhaps the greatest musical genius this world has ever known. He fought the [...]
So the guys in N’Sync have cameo roles in Star Wars Episode II. They play Jedi who get slaughtered by androids. Apparently they’re on screen for about a half-second in the background of a larger shot of lots of Jedi being killed. Here’s my question: Why does this bother everyone? Who doesn’t want to see [...]
<GEEK NEWS> Oh man. I’ve been through the best and worst ends of computers in the last week. I’ve formatted my computer four times, and Annie’s twice, and I still have to do it one more time because I somehow fried her hard drive. The bad news was that all the upgrades didn’t always go [...]
Scott is Wrong About Enterprise
Okay, so I’m a huge geek, but I really love Enterprise. Edit, 2009: Wow, was I wrong about this. The show ended up sucking. I’m preserving this post purely for the entertainment value of the comment thread.
