Peep Links

It seems that peeps are not just for eating alone – they are also ingredients for both food and drink. My favorite recipe being Rice Krispy Peeps from Epicurious.com: Decapitate 20 peeps, reserving the heads. (Fresh peeps work best). Make Rice Krispy Treats according to package directions, substituting peep bodies for the marshmallows. Pour mixture [...]

Peep Show

I know, I know, my love of peeps is really starting to show, but I couldn’t resist that face. I found this great picture over at DPChallenge. I love the title of it: Peep Show. The composition is fabulous, the lighting is perfect, and the choice of subject matter is just the best. The whole [...]

gone are the days

…or are they just re-formed? A long, long time ago – I feel like breaking into song – before the Internet was invented by Al Gore , there were BBSes. I spent some brief time in 1985-1986 as a SysOp and Co-SysOp of two different BBSes in Oklahoma. I think I was also the mascot [...]

queen of lesbian history

Christina Aquilera purchased a Banksy for about $43,500USD. Whether she was aware of the lesbian connotations of the painting or not is debatable. However, she was quite “taken by the controversial art work” and “decided she wanted it for her home” from female first. The painting (possibly NSFW) shows the late Queen Victoria, who passed [...]

Hell just froze over

Apple just released a patch that will let the new Intel-chipped Macs to run Windows, Reuters article. I have been using an Apple computer since I was 12 years old. I saw an actual Apple Lisa for sale in a store and thought the Mac OS was super cool when the Mac first came out. [...]

A question of sequels

There are some movies that have been made in this world that stand apart from all others. Not for any other reason than it was so gosh darn awful that it is good. It is a great movie because of its awfulness and not in spite of it. The movie Clerks sit squarely in the [...]

Gimmick + book + video = $$$$$

It seems that every few seconds there is a new diet or fitness craze being marketed to the American public. The crazes are completely unavoidable unless you never leave your house and even then you will probably still get the message. Personally, I think that all these diet fads just make us fatter and all [...]

Carver One Three-Wheeled Vehicle

Ever since I first saw a picture of this vehicle, I knew I needed one. Here are some of the details about this very cool trike from the Carver site: “The design layout for the Carver One incorporates an extremely safe and enclosed “monocoque”’ driving structure for both the driver and passenger, with the passenger’s [...]

Exploding Peeps!

As I have noted before, marshmallow peeps are my favorite “food.” However, they also make for interesting and amusing toys. The wise ones over at the PeepBlog have found a great way to make their peeps explode in the microwave. I may have to forgo the bite of marshmallowy goodness and start playing with my [...]

Meeting of the minds

The Day of Fools has come and almost gone and the pre-planned meeting did in fact take place, happily I might add. The only strange thing about it was that it almost seemed that the many years that have in fact truly passed didn’t seem to matter. We talked and talked as if we had [...]
