An interesting blog that no one really brings up is Penn's, of Penn and Teller. The most surprising part, in my opinion, was that for a man who seems so confident and polished on stage, he really worries a lot about his jokes and appearance. Turns out he's a geek like me after all.

If nothing else, the Blogger hack attack got me to change all my passwords around. Of course, that's no excuse for the cocksucker who did it, but it did get me going. Hopefully the API will be back soon so I don't have to run Internet Explorer every time I want to post.

Will I be seeing you at the Rufus Wainwright concert in February?

I got a wireless broadband router, a subscription to McSweeney's, and a McSwy's t-shirt for Christmas. Score!

Merry Christmas! Coming to you from behind my new wireless router, which needs some significant configuration -- I still need to activate encryption and get streaming audio working.

May I never be so desperate as to seriously consider meeting women via this web site.

This story makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I saw one of Kids in the Hall's finest moments today. In response to why Bellini Day is celebrated, a father gives the philosophy of Bellini -- "Find beauty in the banal, for it is everywhere."

I keep being told that I should be serendipitous and love will find me. Well, I'm tired of serendipity. Where are all of the girls hiding? You've got to be out there somewhere....

I took three exams today, and they were ok. I've successfully blocked them out of my mind, and can now focus on my last remaining exam. And girls.

Applied Murphy's Law:

1) iPod is invisible to the computer.
2) Wait two months and hope it gets better.
3) Go to Apple's site and arrange to have repair service done.
4) iPod starts working perfectly.

It's the Christmas season, and Jeff is lonely (and he reeks of cigarette smoke).

Hey, I left out the best part! I was on my way to a choral concert that I was to sing at when the accident occurred. Thus, I got to stand out on the shoulder of I-75 in a tuxedo. Plus, the state trooper asked me if I had a hot date. :) (In case you're wondering, no, I didn't get a ticket. They let me go as per state law.)

I got in my first car accident today. Someone in front of me on the interstate slammed on the brakes, and thankfully I avoided hitting them. But then someone two cars back didn't slow down fast enough... so they got stuck together with the car directly behind me, and that two-car mass hit my rear bumper. The damage isn't too bad to the car. My arm is a bit sore, but otherwise I'm fine. (I know I must be doing a lot better than the Chinese student on a visa who initiated the crash, and who didn't have his license on him.) If you were directly affected by the traffic slowdown that resulted, I apologize.

From Apple Turns: "It's a well-known fundamental law of the universe that technology can never advance quickly enough to keep teenagers from looking at pictures of nekkid people."

From Salon: "Still, there's another ethical concern that ought to bother antiabortionists: If pro-lifers are killed off in large numbers by smallpox because they don't get inoculated, then who'll be left in this country to picket abortion clinics and try to prevent the murder of the unborn? Would antiabortionists not then be "morally complicit" in the severe weakening of their own movement?"

I say go right ahead and leave yourself unvaccinated against smallpox.. I'll be happy knowing that there won't be anymore abortion-clinic bombings.

Aagh! I've finally succumbed to the winter cold/flu/icky. I'm keeping myself super-hydrated to fend off the cooties.

Amen, brother. Tell it like it is.

Segway/Ginger/IT looks interesting and all, but how are people with a few extra pounds going to ride it? It looks like it would collapse, or at the very least go a lot more slowly. I rhetorically suggested that they come out with a version with a reinforced riding pole and wider foot holders -- my brother Brad suggested they name it the "Segweigh".

Already there's controversy! Amy Wilson thinks that the "no kissing until marriage" article is fake, and cites the writer's name as proof. I think it's a hilarious coincidence, but still think the article is real (after all, it's North Dakota). What do you think?

Hello, and welcome to the first edition of Let the Onion Fill in the Details. Today we'll start with a lovely little news article about a very very white wedding. However, you need to read an article from the Onion news archives to see how things will turn out. Thank you, Onion, for your hawk-like attention to the details that matter.

Since I was the one who (kinda) came up with the idea, I've signed up to be a member of the Michigan Blogs blog. If you live in Michigan, you should be a member too.

My cable modem was down, but now it's back up. There is much rejoicing and merriment. :)
