Oh Progress Bar

Progress bar, oh progress barHow you taunt at meI wait and watch with faith eternalI pray on bended kneeI see you jump from ten to twentyJust to sit at thirty-threeI sit and stare as nothing happensAs if my gaze you seeSoon as I start to push the buttonOnce more alive you'll beOn we go, up through the countNow eighty-five I seeAnd as we reach for ninety-nineI pulse with energyThe screen goes

Man Week 2011: Day 4

Happy St. Patrick's Day's! You'll notice Kludge Spot is sporting green in a nod to the Emerald Isle! As we celebrate Irish heritage in America we welcome you to turn your beverages green, talk in a bizarre leprechaun accent, and eat potatoes with boiled meat. Shrug. Of course, this will all be made easier after a few pints of porter! OH, and don't forget to look for that pot at the end of the

Man Week 2011: Day 3

As I sit here at my desk munching away on my salad, that my wife prepared for me today at my request, I cannot help but wonder how such a meal would be viewed by our manly predecessors. "Nog, I have returned with food!!""Ugh!! What have you slain.""Well actually its a little something I like to call... Green Stuff""Green Stuff?!! Oh!! Lizard?"No...""Where did you kill this strange green beast?!""

Man Week 2011: Day 2

It seems I may have lost a few of you with yesterday's post. I fully intended it to be amusing and enjoyable. It turned out to be neither. So... I re-wrote it about 2 hours later. It is now just a brief intro for the rest of the week. Sometimes I'm on and sometimes I'm off. It's part of this media form known as blogging. Regardless I'm ready to try again!So for the second post of Man Week 2011

Adipose

The best sci-fi alien ever. So I eat whatever I want and I help populate a cute and totally harmless species? I'm in...

Filling The Gap

Here I sit on a foreign PC looking to fill a gap of time and waste approx 28 minutes and 30 seconds. As I think about it, this is a task for which I am singularly blessed. Who else can burn up spare time like me? So... lets recall what brings us to this lonely desk with neatly places pencil sharpeners, a box of Triscuits and the warm hum of 25 odd computers...Today I was sent out into the wilds

Loose Thread

Where exactly does that urge come from anyway?
