Combine bowling with breakout and what do you get? You get Pongling. Why not Breaking? Well, they think it’s a cross between pong and bowling. But it’s not. It’s clearly breakout and bowling. Fun though in a maddening kind of way.

Roughly speaking, the next 493,200 seconds are mine to do with as I wish. How oh how shall I spend my time? Will I spend it cleaning my condo, redesigning my web site, starting work on that novel that’s been kicking around my brain for the past few months — nah, I’ll probably just lay around watching movies and playing on the Internet until I sprout painful bed sores. I might also spend a few moments thinking about the eternal question, What Should I Do With My Life.

Strange Fruits looks like some kind of portal to on-line art sites. I’ve only scratched the surface here, but there are some beautifully realized sites. Take for instance the work of Stefan Morris.

Go to this page and view source. What the hell?

Ooooh, I dig the design over on arakna.net. It’s so colorful and geometric, it makes me want to redesign here. In case it changes, here’s a screen grab.

So how come nobody told me my category template was missing a closing div tag (just guessing)? As you scroll down the page, the entry boxes get smaller and smaller and smaller until they just up and disappear.

You’ve all been sitting in quiet judgment laughing at the lameness that is me haven’t you? Well thanks a lot. Excuse me now while I dig into the source and …. Eeehh — I’ll fix it later. I’m busy watching the Hackers DVD which really, really blows in just the best way possible.

Soon to be an olympic event, it’s House Gymnastics.

I don’t care what you say. A 3-year-old could NOT do that.

Update: And, as proof that there’s too much noise on MetaFilter these days, it seems this was posted there over a month ago, and I totally missed it. I hate that! This is why I go to MeFi, so when I realize stuff like this slipped under my radar, it makes me wonder what else I’ve missed over there. *sigh*

How do you take something as potentially cool as a personal hovercraft and make it seem so unbelievably lame? Quality Web Design my friends, quality web design. Check out the movies though. I’d get tired of it after about 7 minutes, but those would be some seriously fun 7 minutes.

Nicked myself shaving this morning. Normally, this is no big deal. Splash a little cold water on it, maybe a bit of pressure, and the thing clots up lickety split. Not so today. Today, there seems to be no stopping the bleeding. I jumped in the shower not understanding the severity of my mortal wound, and got out COVERED in blood. Seriously, I looked like I’d murdered somebody

Now, I’ve seen the movies. I know that standard first aid procedures requires a little bit of toilette paper. Well, 13 rolls and something like 8 quarts of blood later, I’m thinking stronger measures may be required. Perhaps a tourniquet around my throat. I’m beginning to feel woozy. I bet this means I could get away with cookies and orange juice for breakfast.
