I can’t say I’m an avid reader of Dilbert by any means, but today’s comic features a mention of Java:

Don’t bother. I already coded a Java app to do everything you do.

Good stuff.

I’ve always been a huge open source software proponent– this blog is ran by FreeBSD, PHP, WordPress, Apache, MySQL, etc., yet the PHP language has never really sat well with me.

Snacks On A Plane?!!?

After many obsessive discussions with my co-workers earlier this year about Snakes On A Plane, I decided to purchase the snacksonaplane.net domain in April. Recent events finally gave me a good reason to use it to create a Snacks On A Plane?!!? poster. Note: the f-bomb is used.

Me: Perhaps if you weren’t so intellectually devoid you’d be able to read what [...]

The 10 Geekiest Hobbies

I just found a site which has has a list of the ten geekiest hobbies, and I’m proud to say I don’t partake in any of them. About as close as I get is owning the first of the Cowboy Bebop videos (and that still would not really even qualify as a “comic book”). [...]

Apparently the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix has a glitch which completely hoses up the calendar display because they forgot 2004 is a leap year.
