Geek Cool:

First the clamshell phone...

    By Jack Grant

...was apparently inspired by the communicator design from the original Star Trek series.

Now, a device that works like the badge-communicators from Star Trek: The Next Generation is about to be released.

Even though in my work I make technology like this possible, it's still surprising and wonderful to me.

Well, damn. I guess this means that no longer will I have to walk to someone's desk at work to tell them he's an idiot, I will soon be able to tap on my chest and speak to my chest (how odd), "Hey, you idiot..." Not that I ever REALLY get that frustrated at work... or management...

Random Fate - latest posts

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
