UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. “Oh, *that* kind of grave robbing? Lead on, Chuck!” 😈

  2. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    What? I say “What”?

  3. Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

  4. At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!

  5. If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…

  6. Scheffler, Hovland and Conners Share the Lead at P.G.A. Championship
    Jordan Spieth, who needs a victory at Oak Hill to complete the career Grand Slam, and Justin Thomas, who won last year’s tournament, just made the cut at five over.

A Fallen Lords redux…

Yeesh. Not two weeks down the road from my post on the marital crash-and-burns of two geek icons, we get what could possibly be the biggest wreck of them all. Joss Whedon’s ex-wife has held forth on the infidelities that led to their divorce, and the picture it paints is… not kind. If you’re a fan of his work, this may be yet another case where you’ll have to be able to separate the art from the artist. Whedon’s longest-running fansite doesn’t seem prepared to do that, though, and is shutting down after 16 years of operation. Assuming the allegations have at least some truth to them, that line from The Dark Knight once again comes to mind: “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” It also puts me in mind of a blog I wrote a few years back along regarding geekly inspirations of my youth that I felt had fallen from grace personally, professionally, or both. You may read it here: The Fallen Lords of the ’80s.
