While looking at pictures of plastic movie extra dummies, I came upon a rather familiar face. Anyone else eerily haunted by his plastic expression of horror?

I want to ride my Bicycle.



For like 3 years now I have wanted to get one of these PediCabs and pedal the tourists around Downtown and C-Park. They are not that expensive and I think people would really dig it. Hell, those goofy bike rentals they had last year were everywhere. You can't tell me there aren't 4 times as more lazy folks who would rather be pedaled around instead of actually using there own muscles.

From my web research I found Main Street Pedicabs in Broomfield, Colorado. They seem to be the best of the bunch and the bike pictured above starts at $3400.00.

Would any of you PDD'ers want to go in on something like this. It would be good exercise and some pocket change to boot.

Let me know. Summer starts in about a month and a half.

Balancing Act.


Here is some random footage from last weekends Free Democracy Summit. I also have the complete speech given by Jim Hightower. Does anyone have any interest in seeing that? It would be a fairly big download.

By the way. I have heard that some of you are unable to watch Quicktime movies. Well then you should go here and download yourself a player.

Caption This



OK, so through a means I explained on my video blog, I acquired two garbage bags of photos that originally appeared in the Budgeteer News during the mid-90s and earlier. And let me tell you, every single one of them is a gem.

Naturally, my one thought was to fire up the scanner. Thank me very much.

I'll be posting a new batch of them weekly on my "Caption This" album on Flickr. I invite all of you to come play the captioning game, or at least check them out for a good guffaw. These are your friends and neighbors, folks. You may recognize them. And even if you don't, they're so, so awesome.

I forgot to take my blue pills today, so instead of working, I'll post a comic from the good ol' days, when the Comics Code Authority ruled and comics were apparently more wholesome.

The new Red Star Lounge had a private party last night. They open officialy on Friday. Nice place. Drinks seem expensive but you get a bunch of excellent booze in 'em. Be careful.

Geek Prom Photos


Last night was a blast! My Geek Prom photos can be found here.
Also: does anyone want a free month at Rie-Do Martial Arts? I have two months for free that I'll probably never use. Just let me know by posting a comment.

Funny Geek Prom Story

An amusing Geek Prom-related story just in time for Geek Prom.

I went to Geek Prom 2003 dressed as Laura Croft (from the Tomb Raider game). I had a lot of costume elements and had the whole "Laura Croft" look down (albeit, the look of a fat, drunk Laura Croft who kept spilling her drinks, but Laura Croft nonetheless). It was a very fun evening.

Several weeks later, I had an interview for a web developer job. I had psyched myself up, and had my aura of "interview cool" on. When the interviewer came out to meet me, he cocked his head at an angle, looked at me, then asked "... Laura Croft?".

My "interview cool" was gone. He caught me so off guard that I stammered the way through the interview (and desperately tried to remember if I had done anything obnoxious to him at Geek Prom).

Needless to say, I did not get the job as a fat, drunk web developer. ;)

(Sorry about the gratuitous pussy shot)

Ice Blow Out on North Shore



      So I was up the shore at a rather small river on thursday when I heard a rumbling, booming behind me. I turned to see that the water level raised considerably and instantly and tons of huge slabs of ice came exploding down the river and out into the lake. I guess this happens every year in the spring when there is enough of a melt. Ice dams are formed up stream in any river or creek and could be miles away, with water building behind it until it finally bursts and it can have quite a forceful effect. One person I was talking to said he had been at the French river one time some years ago when this happened and claimed there was a 20 foot wall of water. Had to run to get out of the way. Amazing.


      Here is the ice flowing out into the lake after it all came smashing down the river, now just a big slushy:
