Did you know that the term \”Nimrod\” actually means \”Hunter\”? Well… strictly speaking it means \”we shall rebel\” but there was a hunter/god/king dude in the bible named Nimrod. So, generally speaking, back in the day, people who used the term Nimrod meant it in the \”Great Hunter\” sense.

Then along came bugs bunny. Bugs called Elmer Fudd a \”poor little nimrod\”, and people… taking that in context thought the term to mean \”idiot\”

And now when you call someone a nimrod…

Dad was at an antique sale this weekend. He found a postcard from sometime shortly after the turn of the century, with a picture of my house on the front.
Notice the lack of trees or… well… any of the rest of the town of vegreville in the background.
Neat.

Today I went out front and took as close to that angle as I could get. (other houses get in the way of that angle now.

ALSO! I saw some cool moss.

My house has the scattered detritus of a visit from scott strewn about. I am going to mess it down a bit.

(yes I just wanted to type \”mess it down\”)

I took some photos of a lighter I bought a few months ago.

To ignite it you reveal your royal flush, hooray!

It has a copper wad in it that gives it a green flame. Bitching

But the kicker is that it has a blacklight LED built in.

Totally awesome gas station impulse purchase.

So I was feeling like Mr. Fixit yesterday and I fixed that monitor that\’s been sitting dead here for the past several weeks. (just a simple gob of solder on a loose wire fix.) I was going to take a picture of it and then my camera made that horrible grinding sound it likes to make sometimes.

I thought… what the hell, I\’m one for one with quick fixes today and I unscrewed the cover. after a bit of fishing around I found a little chunk of loose plastic that was rattling around inside and must have been getting stuck in the gears. HOORAY! Another thing fixed.

\”boy the naked LCD screen on the inside of this camera looks neat\” I thought.

So I started looking around for my camera to take a picture of it…

I wonder why I couldn\’t find it.

Decided it was about time I geeked out and did some Harry Potter Fan Art.

The tiny owl is supposed to be Pigwidgeon, the owl belonging to Ron Weasley. This is the first digital painting I\’ve done in a long while. Hopefully I can restrain myself from tweaking it a million times now that I\’ve posted it.

rawkerscott: I wrote a poem I put it on my disk.
soylentdean: Is it poem about floppy disks? It should be. I will write one for you.

Disk in my drive spinning noisily,
Do you ever get dizzy?
I feel our magnetic attraction.
People program your mind and you accept it.
People RE-program your memory and you parse that as well.
You didn\’t ask for these byte sized burdens placed upon your plastic .
Your 3.5 inches are of considerable character,

Read/Write only if it pleases you ferrous friend.

File Corrupt.

rawkerscott: So true.

Once upon a time I was hanging out with my buddy George. He introduced me to a few people from his workplace. One of the people we were gabbing with, wasn\’t a native english speaker. This particular person kept saying \”talkie walkies\” instead of \”Walkie Talkie\”

I dunno. i thought it was funny.
