Whittle Back

Saturday, June 7th, 2008
     Bill Whittle’s been absent from his blog for awhile.  It turns out he’s not only alive, he’s been writing a movie script!      Finally! Something that ought to be worth watching in the intellectual sense coming out of Hollywood! I hope this works!

Done in by My PowerPoint

Monday, April 7th, 2008
     Today was a first for me:  Weltanschauung just took it’s first hit (that I know of) in the Blogosphere over at Virtualpolitik.  "Hits" is a bit of an exaggeration, it was really more of a fun poke, or at least I chose to take it that way.        I can’t be [...]

Carnage!

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008
     This was some footage Rob T. took on his trip to the Antarctic Marathon, and it’s awesome!      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbXtnh2K1Bk        This is not recommended for children too young to watch some of the "meatier programs" on Animal Planet. 

The New York Enquirer

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
     This may be the only thing I’ve ever read or heard from Michael Kinsley that was worth repeating.  This was hilarious!      What’s fun is that I now get to find the Times’ most egregious errors, publish only their failures, claim that based on their ineptitude that their product is worthless, and call for [...]

Belated Blogosphere Wrap-Up

Saturday, January 19th, 2008
     Bill Whittle over at Eject!Eject!Eject! has a great essay about John Boyd and the OODA loop and how it applies to competitive decision-making in almost any sphere (mostly war).       Iowahawk (caution-language) had an interesting satire on a New York Times piece.  Actually, any satire by Iowahawk is practically by-definition "interesting."  I’m [...]

Blog Call

Saturday, October 13th, 2007
     If you happen to be in the Pacific NW in late Oct/early Nov and like to write on the Internet, Anwyn‘ll be hosting a Blogofogorama in a couple weeks.  I hear the main topic will be Saint Peters’ historic defeat of the Islamic Fundamentalist Balrog on the bridge of Lepanto-dûm.  Or something [...]

Curtain Call

Sunday, September 30th, 2007
     Cox & Forkum just announced they’ll be ceasing they’re regular editorial cartooning.  Thanks for the laughs for the past six or so years, guys! Message From Above is hanging in my office directly over my computer.  I hope you’ll continue the September Eleventh posts every year, too.       I guess this means I’ll [...]

Color Me Skeptical

Saturday, September 1st, 2007
     I thought el chupacabra was some sort of vampire version of sasquatch.  Not this. 

Another Famous E-mail

Saturday, July 28th, 2007
     Earlier this week, my friend Jeff forwarded me an e-mail that’s made its way around the ‘Net a few times.  I believe it started in 2004.  I’ll let the text speak for itself: Subject: Reply from Lt. Col. Scott PleusLuke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being [...]

I Need a Better Metatag

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007
     Distaint Cousin Dylan almost always comes up first when we Google the name ‘Penningroth.’  I guess I need to start writing books for publication if I want to catch up!      I wonder who the Penningroth.com folks are? They have a nice house.  Christina wants to buy something like that [...]
