The Bears fell to 1 – 3 this weekend. I’d be worried, but unless I’m wrong, they were 1 – 3 this time last year and ended the season at 12 – 5. I thought they’d replaced Grossman, but apparently they just made him wear Griese’s jersey.

Cajones The Size of The Moon
From Broadband Reports:
The Media Defender Defenders who have been reporting the details about Media Defender’s leaked emails have threatened legal action due to all of the legal violations that have come up in reading through the email content. The Pirate Bay has skipped the threats and reported charges of commercial hacking and spamming, commercial level [...]
Disturbing
To get from my office to the restroom, I have to walk past the gross anatomy lab. The sound of bone saws always makes me a little queasy. But the smell of cooking meat is downright disturbing.
Amazon Prime
I discussed this with my wife and we decided that because Amazon only had five of one book in stock that they were showing preferential treatment to the Prime customers. After all, if they only have 5 in stock, they have to earmark a certain number of any inventory in order to guarantee the 2-day shipment. Because you can sign up for a 30 day trial, I decided to test the theory, canceled my order, signed up for Amazon Prime and place my order again.
Chicago Is The Last Man Standing
The Chicago Bears stand 3-0 in pre-season, carrying the best record to date. Their defense went an impressive three straight three-and-outs on Saturday, while the offense racked up an impressive 31 points during the first half against 49ers (1-2). The only first down the 49ers managed was on a 2-yard run following a Chicago punt-fark.
How To Get 10,000 Links In 48 Hours
Every day we’re hit with differing statistics regarding software/music/movie piracy. The mainstream press never questions these numbers. Instead,they swallow them whole, accuracy be damned.
McDonald’s Big Mac Turns 40
I remember my first Big Mac. Actually, parts of it are probably still circulating through me somewhere …
Harris vs. The 49ers? Hell No.
Hell, for that matter, put him in a cage and poke with him sticks. Get him really pissed off. We need him healthy and angry for San Diego.
Pre-Season Grossman
Okay, so Grossman had some issues during the game against Indy. Three fumbles and an interception, to be exact. So what? #1, it’s pre-season …
Merv Griffin Was Gay … Who Cares?
If mainstream media remains trapped in the Dark Ages, it’d be the first time they’re in the same room with the fringe right. I’ve claimed many people as friends, both gay and straight. And I’ve dealt with many of Earth’s scum, both gay and straight. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with a person’s ability to contribute to society, lead a productive life and contribute greatly to those around them.
Mike Lee’s Motherfucker
His post entitled Sincerity Theory really hit home with me. What Mike calls Sincerity Theory closely mirrors what I’ve long called Living Honestly, a theory I developed at a point in my life when my world was crashing around me and my stress level was such that I most likely lost 7-10 years of my life within the space of five months.
Coulrophobia
This entry is inspired by this photo at Shorpy. Fortunately my coulrophobia isn’t extreme. Clowns weird me out to a minimal degree. Except the Shorpy clowns. Those guys seriously put on the weird.

PeepCode
As I write this, PeepCode’s Rails From Scratch Part II is downloading. I downloaded Part I last night and finished watching it today. I anticipate watching it several more times before moving on to Part II. I love the fact that buying the .mov version also gives you access to the iPod [...]
Gem Error When Installing Rails
So, I’m finally getting around to learning Ruby. (Thanks, I’m pretty excited myself.) While following Dan Benjamin’s excellent Building Ruby, Rails, LightTPD, and MySQL on Tiger over at HiveLogic, I encountered the following error:
$ sudo gem install rails –include-dependencies Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::GemNotFoundException) [...]
