I really enjoy watching Big Bang Theory, one of the best parts is all the crazy T-Shirts Sheldon wears.  Now someone case created similarly crazy shirts based on Sheldon.
I already have this one:

Star Wars the Old Republic

It looks like someone might finally have my number when it comes to a massively multiplayer game (MMO):

(I know it says content may be inappropriate for children, but I did not find it offensive at all. Hopefully you won’t either.)
I actually have not played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic yet, but I [...]

GATTACA

One of my favorite movies GATTACA is now on Hulu. It is a Sci-Fi movie about a world where they have completely sequenced the human genome, and within seconds of birth they can tell you your likelihood of diseases and life expectancy.  Naturally they also have the ability to engineer humans with no genetic defects.
This [...]

Chasing my Tail

I am not making this up.  My debit card has gotten the signature strip warn off the back, so I needed a new one.  Unfortunately the little card services number is missing too.

So I figured I would go to the web site and submit a request there.
I get a response back the next day that [...]

Wii Elbow

I suspect this might become more common, but I believe I may have developed some Wii Elbow from playing tennis on Wii Sports.

Time to PodCast

I just watched Dr. Horrible Act 1 and 2 again.  I can hardly wait [...]

The Dr is IN

Just watched Episode 1 of Dr. Horrible, and contrary to the name, it is actually very good.  The first 4 minutes were pretty slow, but then the music starts.  Although I must admit I like evil villain musicals in general, but I thought this one was the best one I have seen so far.  Check [...]

An Engineer’s Guide to Cats

I am not really a cat person, although I used to be one.  I thought this was a hoot, and mostly I wanted to see if Jake still reads my blog.  Jake is a cat person and also a software engineer (like me!)  I caught him before with my Why Curiosity Killed the Cat post.

I [...]

I could write about this in great detail.  It is something I believe strongly about, but there is just one point I would like to make right now.  I say this in full realization that such a statement could be considered self-referential.
Anyone who suggests that you are a victim of others, is trying to victimize [...]
