9:05 am - Some stuff for your morningtime.

gregorfodrotski
We'll start with some highly-NSFW hilarity. It's almost enough to make me want to join Second Life.

Second, this format, were they to produce it on a daily scale, would unseat the Daily Show for my preferred method of learning about current news.

Thirdoff, I don't condone driving under the influence. But there's no driving, so it's cool.

We must remain ever vigilant, lest anyone in the House develop this power. The consequences, they shall be severe.

Night night, all.

4:59 pm - Summer LAN

koyetay
Oh hello there. I promised LANs this summer and have yet to deliver. For that, I apologize. I hope to make up for that in some small measure this upcoming Friday.

Previous LANs I've held have been marred by the presence in our home of many small fluffy critters, causing the allergy-prone no small amount of torment. I believe I have found a solution. This LAN will be held in the garage rather than the house itself.

DETAILS

When: Friday, July 10th, 7:00PM-ish (though of course, you're welcome to come early and help set up). Lasts until I kick you all out on Saturday sometime.

Equipment Needed: Tables tables tables, chairs, extension cables, powerstrips, ethernets, the switch

Refreshments: I am totally broke right now, so I am afraid that food and beverages will need to be taken care of by a third party. Anything you can bring to share would be greatly appreciated. If you spend a significant amount, we can even collect some donations for you.

Drugs and Alcohol?: That's up to you. I'm not opposed.

Where: 381A Louise Ln.
Take the parks out past the Blue Loon. Take a right on Gold hill. Take a left on Henderson. Take another left on Louise LN. First driveway on the left.
Map! )

Contact: 455-4099 (home), 799-1552 (cell), koyetay@gmail.com, @koyetay, or leave a comment here.

Spread the word, everybody's welcome!

NOTE: I recently had to replace my cell phone and lost my phone contacts in the process. I'm depending on others to contact me, so please call and let me know what you'll be contributing.

3:05 am - Stuff to contribute!

gregorfodrotski
Who remembers the X-Men cartoon from the nineties? Decent show, altogether. The thing that bugged me the most about it was the intro. Synth-powerguitar awesomeness aside, I've always felt that it's pretty lame. Which was why I was so stunned by the awesomeness of the Japanese intro for the same goddamn show. Holy fuck! It's got lasers and machine guns and bad-assery abounding! Why the fuck can't we get animated comic treatments as awesome as that?

Put me in charge, Marvel. Or DC, I don't really care. You give me the budget, and I'll set you up with a superhero anime so modernly dark and awesome that the fanboys will shit themselves in the rush to go buy it. Oh wait, they do that anyways with the shit you're already producing? Fucksticks.

In any case... Cry for the moon!

-G. Fodrotski

P.S. Apparently Magneto has a secondary mutation that allows him to summon Zerglings? It's not by any means canon, but I'm going to allow it just for the awesome.

current mood: blah
current music: SHOCK!

2:06 pm - Gentlemen, I love (browser) war

abunai
So, in my spare time, I made a lengthy ramble about web browsers.

Net Applications has the following to say:
Internet Explorer (65.50%)
Mozilla Firefox (22.51%)
Safari (8.43%)
Google Chrome (1.80%)
Opera (0.72%)
Other (1.04%)

There's plenty to talk about with regard to these and similar statistics: even just regional differences such as how Canada has twice the usage rate of Opera and other alternative browsers could interest me for quite a while (see wikipedia). Suffice to say, there's browser war going on. Let me talk about the sides, and why we're winning.

Chrome )

Mozilla Firefox )

Opera )

Other browsers )

Common Themes )

Thoughts, gentlemen (and ladies)? What am I missing, what are your takes on these browsers? What's important to you in a browser, and what have you yet to see?

current music: Next on the schedule: Rich Content, Raid Arrays, maybe taskbars or copyright!

12:36 am - Don't know now many of you have seen these,

oz_the_geek
but this shit is hilarious, like modern GI Joe PSAs. Anything labeled "tng" is gold. Solid gold.

Data's painting is making me dizzy.

8:37 pm - For the older HG members:

nullibicitynow
So I'm sitting in the UAF Library, catching up on webcomics, minding my own business, when who but fucking Swibold taps me on the shoulder. For those of you who know our favorite elf, it turns out he is alive and well, and I have procured his phone number with the intent of calling him for every LAN until he gives in and comes to one of them.
