Some things that have happened to me since my last post....Discovered the incredible BoingBoing blog, your one-stop shop for all that is nifty.Celebrated my daughter Samantha's second birthday!Saw a rainbow appear to actually land within 30 yards of me. Had insane impulse to search for pot of gold as well as being awed by the prismatic glory of nature.Enjoyed the heck out of the new stop-motion

As if November 3rd wasn't depressing enough. Some of you may have noticed the site was black for a few days (more than just on Thursday, for good measure). If you missed it, the entire blog was black except a "RIP: Democracy" graphic... Fight the power, friends, it's not over. Don't let future generations ask why we let a redneck Hitler rip our Constitution and values into little bits for

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin "Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war." -- John Adams "If tyranny and oppression come to this land it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." -- James Madison "The executive has no right, in any case, to

Like all too many of us, probably more than the polls reported, I was almost catatonically depressed by the outcome of the 2004 election. I sulked about for a week, then ignored all news for a while, but finally am coming back around again to a stance of activism. But how to strike back without actually killing the neocons personally?? The best answer is, in their bloated pocketbooks! The

I've been trying to share really neat pictures. I understand the impulse. Making cool renderings (albeit in my case using the PrntScrn button during particularly graphic matches of Dawn of War) is fine, and there are many fine sites featuring quality CGI artwork. Or software to do it. But some people just should not be given access to Poser. For example, whatever evil demonic force created the "

My longing for battle is quenched. The Eldar have become victorious over every foe faced so far... assuring me I need to turn the AI settings up. I have some visual goodies for you folks from this game: First, a squad of Howling Banshees in a post-victory pose: Next, a Wraithlord, with some Warp Spiders running by: And, I'm sure you've already noticed the Avatar fight animation which has now

Adult Swim... Ah, it has been accused of being nonsensical. But, for whatever reason, my twisted brain "gets it" about 99% of the time. Except for maybe that weird episode of the Brak Show where a Japanese company took over Brak's family. Maybe I just don't understand Japanese humor...? Because this new show on Adult Swim, Super Milk Chan, makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. I mean, I appreciate the

So, I found this amazing Hubble photo of one of Saturn's tiniest moons, named Telesto, with a fabulous view of Saturn in the background: OK, so I'm just messing with you in truth. This amazing image is from a marvelous *freeware* program called Celestia. With it, you can zoom about in exquisitely simulated space, with the ability to zoom in on any planet (or moon) in the solar system, or as

OK, so for a short period of my life I engaged in tabletop wargaming. Specifically, that wallet-emptying, paint-staining juggernaut called Warhammer 40K. I've been fascinated with its unique universe, neat-o weapons, and compelling aliens for a long time, both before my miniature problem and afterwards. Then, Relic, creators of the stellar (*ha!*) game Homeworld, suddenly (in game development

Watching SciFi late at night... I catch the cool old Twilight Zone about the three army tank soldiers on patrol near Little Bighorn who get sucked into the past. Once I went looking for petrified wood in the wilds of central Washington state, in terrain eerily like the terrain in this episode. There is something innately haunting about endless miles of sagebrush and scrub surrounded by

Imagine that. My very own blog. Of course, now I have to write and write. *pause for reflection* Most of you, reading this, assuming that the set of (Most of You) is not equal to NULL, will have no idea who I am, what I believe, what I like. And so I must be forced to change that. Like that's not obvious.... So. I'm a Keith. More specifically "That" Keith. No other Keith in the great world of
