Classifying this as Made Me Laugh is actually telling, since this photoshopped image actually does make me laugh when I see it, and I made the damn thing. I’m such a nerd.

Author: ryanvis
So, I’m not an intentional Ludite, but sometimes I’m very, very slow on the uptake. I think it might have something to do with controlled substances in my past, but I don’t like that line of thinking. Anyway, I finally signed up for a Flickr account. I really don’t have a reason to do so, […]

So, J– and I have been looking for a house for about a month now. We’ve learned a few things: Basements in this area effin’ blow. Whatever crap some ice flow left in this hole thousands of years ago is begging for the next ice age, just to remove the apparent seventeen miles of clay […]

I think the DNS attack that’s hitting the East coast is spreading to AA. My connection has been flaky all night. When can we get some vigilante justice for the fools that are poisoning the DNS servers? Idiot spammers. Side note: I know that “flaky” spell-checks properly, but shouldn’t it really be “flakey”?
