I’ve been working within the dark recesses of rackmount hardware lately. The bunker doesn’t have the best lighting, and I figured I wasn’t doing anything else with my forehead, so it’d be a perfect place to strap on a light.

Joy joy. North Carolina’s lottery starts today. I fled Georgia, with its lottery and really enjoyed living in a lotteryless state. It was so much easier to buy some gasoline and a PayDay bar and get on with your day, before the lottery. Now, the lines will form, particularly when the stakes are high. Dozens […]

Watching TV lately, I’ve seen this commercial for M&Ms. It’s a fun trippy commercial with a mellow Donovan-esque soundtrack. Personified M&Ms are floating, probably tripping balls, in a kaleidescope swirl. Then a hand reaches down, grabs one, and devours poor little M&M in one bite. The M&M has a face, […]
