I used to be into sadism, necrophilia, and bestiality, but I gave them all up when I realized I was flogging a dead horse.

Indonesian villagers have allegedly caught a 49-foot python which weighs nearly 1000 pounds!

Somebody went too far: it’s the unabridged, 46-disc, 55 hour long audio version of the Lord of the Rings!

Wikipedia is more than a free online encyclopedia. It’s a collaborative effort that anyone can contribute to. I’ve been browsing it all day, and used it to learn that my birthday is the anniversary of the most devastating earthquake in human history.

I went snowboarding at Mount Hood Meadows yesterday. I nearly wrecked my car more than once while attempting to get there. It was epic, as promised, and I got completely slaughtered as I foolishly charged even the most threatening double black diamond run, but it was ok because eighteen inches of sweet, sweet powder fell in the 24 hours before I made my way to the mountain. There was a fifteen car pileup and a 6 car pileup on highways 26 and 35, respectively, while I was out riding, and I was stuck at the lodge for an hour waiting for the roads to be cleared. Not a bad day, overall, and it will certainly be repeated soon. Everything except almost wrecking the car.

I went on the first snowboarding expedition of the season solo. I made my way up to the mountain bravely, without the benefit of any sissy chains.

…until I was 1/4 of the way up the driveway to Mount Hood Meadows, that is. That was when I found myself sliding backwards, slowly, and still refusing to give up on the idea that my car would climb a steep, snow-covered slope without the benefit of snow tires. I tried it twice before I resigned my efforts and turned around. I drove about three or four miles back to a parking lot and put on chains. Everthing got better from there, however, because I got to the mountain and proceeded to shred it. It was nice. I got air and when I fell it was into sweet, sweet powder.

This made my Christmas a little jollier: ALF is coming back to telelvision! This plainly rocks. He’s going to have his own talk show.

When I get home to a computer with speakers I’m going to check out AT&T Natural Voices. HAL would be proud.

Republicans are probably getting nervous with the news that, according to the best information source known to man, George W. Bush is unelectable.

One of these days I’m going to get this data cable and the required software so I can fully hack my Nokia 6800.
