So I get home, and I have a huge espresso craving, right? I wash my awesome Moka Express and proceed to wash my cup as well, and when I put it under the running water, I saw what the picture above shows.
Really neat, huh? Not only is my little glass espresso cup cool looking, but [...]

One more year and you can buy booze in the States! Though I suppose being European, you’ve been getting drunk legally for some time now over there.
Who said High-Energy Particle Physics is just an Ivory-Towerish money dump?
Now go back to showing me free porn, delivering urgent missives from Nigerian widows, and sending me uncountably many [...]

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago.
First I went to the Wilco website out of curiosity, just to see if there’s any news, and of course I find out they are out on tour and will be playing two nights at Madison Square Garden. A concert I am not likely to attend [...]

Not necessarily of today since I don’t know when the awesome people at google released this awesome nifty little googlemaps tool/applet/whatever.
Basically, you enter your address and it shows you where your voting place is*. How awesome is the google? Of course it would be awesome if people had their voter registration card in a place [...]

To Sen. John McCain for asking the more “out there” supporters at a Rally to not speak disrispectfully of Obama, nor to go into fetal position and/or ready to start a civil war were Obama elected. Kudos as well for stopping some lady calling Obama an Arab*.
Personally, I don’t care if [...]

Obama is clearly the Anti-Christ. Why the change of heart, you ask?
He is usurping the holy Jesusphone and hoping to turn it into an Obamaphone, that heathen. Kinda like a 21st century reverse Jesus banishing the Merchants from the Temple deal.
Believing in the very stupid notion that the Bible clearly states that the Antichrist will [...]

For making me want to buy soon-to-be-released Spider-Man comics featuring the one and only Stephen T. Colbert. Luckily for my finances, I don’t even know where to buy comics around here.
Apparently, there’s been “Colbert for President” signs appearing in Marvel comics lately.
Those brilliant, greedy bastards.
EDIT: There appears to be a whole lotta posts on the [...]

I never though I’d ever see some B3-style acid jazz played on some alien guitar. This sonovabish I just found out about, Charlie Hunter, is one insane bastard.
That’s one crazy bass-guitar combo, and I hadn’t realized you can use a Leslie speaker to get that funktastic sound.
Damn.
EDIT- I should thank Astrani [...]
