I am a font whore — I have CDs with hundreds upon thousands of fonts. Sometimes the hardest part of sitting down and writing is deciding which nifty-keen font I should use. For the name badges the staff wears at work I used a Doctor Who font for the names. It was large, it wasContinue reading “On a New Name Badge”
More Things That Happened on My Birthday
After using Wikipedia to research the doings on my birthday, today I’ve decided to use Today in Baseball History to do the same. 🙂 Events 1947 – The Dodgers win 4-2 over the Pirates as Jackie Robinson swipes home for the first of 19 times in his career. 1955 – Washington rookie infielder Harmon KillebrewContinue reading “More Things That Happened on My Birthday”
On Things That Happened on My Birthday
Since I’ve seen this on a number of friends’ webpages, I thought I too could list a number of interesting things that happened on my birthday, the 24th of June. 🙂 Courtesy of Wikipedia: Events 1314 – End of the Battle of Bannockburn. Scottish forces led by Robert the Bruce defeat Edward II of England.Continue reading “On Things That Happened on My Birthday”
On a Pointless Conversation
The phone rang at work this morning. I was in the midst of rearranging the PlayStation 2 games, put a stack of games on the top of a gondola, and answered the phone. I rattled off the current phone spiel. “Is there anyone there that plays Star Wars games?” the guy on the other endContinue reading “On a Pointless Conversation”
On the Lack of Updates
Updates this past week have been sparse. Frankly. I’ve not been in the mood, hasn’t been a priority. Such is life. That’s not to say things haven’t happened this past week. They have. I’ve been tired. I’ve felt weary. My bones ached. I’ve been frustrated. One, on its own, might not have been much. AddContinue reading “On the Lack of Updates”
On the PlayStation 3's Cost
After months of speculation a Sony official has let slip the planned retail price of the PlayStation 3 console, coming worldwide this November. It’s not a complete answer, as it’s the cost for one territory–Europe. The projected PS3 retail price? €499-599. Depending on other factors–the weak dollar as compared to the Euro, the historically higherContinue reading “On the PlayStation 3's Cost”
On the Animaniacs DVDs
The Animaniacs DVDs are coming, on July 25th. We’ve known for a while that the release would be in the summer. An exact date is just gravy. I know what I’m buying come July. Call me happy. 🙂
On Geekdom
Today, the LEGO catalog came in the mail. The front cover made me insanely giddy. Batman LEGOs. Batman. A Batmobile. A Batwing. A Joker-copter. The Bat-hoverboat. Batman minifigs. Joker minifigs. Two-Face minifigs. Killer Croc minifigs. Okay, that last one’s a little strange. Killer Croc, but no Robin. Batman LEGOs. I can hear the Denny ElfmanContinue reading “On Geekdom”
On a Book Close At Hand
Stolen from Keith: Grab the nearest book. Open it to page 161. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. Nearest book? American Aurora, by Richard Rosenfeld. Page 161? A letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, written on June 21st, 1798. The fifth sentence onContinue reading “On a Book Close At Hand”
On Doctor Doctor
A completely random search in iTunes made me realize how much I’d love to see Doctor Doctor, the Matt Frewer medical sitcom of the late 80s, released on DVD. I’ve not seen it in years. There’s probably nothing remarkable about the series at all. But for some reason I have fond memories of the showContinue reading “On Doctor Doctor”
