I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I am tired of people who think Doctor Who is a series about Rose. Excuse me, but Doctor Who survived a long damn time before Rose Tyler, and it’s going toContinue reading “On Taking Deep Breaths”

On Playing Twenty Questions
1. Elaborate on your default icon. Me as a South Park character. I’ve used it in various capacities over the past few years. 2. What’s your current relationship status? No current relationship. 3. Ever have a near-death experience? There are times I’ve nearly died (yes, that’s plural, people), but I wouldn’t say I’ve had aContinue reading “On Playing Twenty Questions”
On a Strange Search Phrase
I went through my website logs today, and in going through who was coming and going on my website today I noticed something really odd in the search strings used to reach allyngibson.net: a battle model of two armies using differential equation It wasn’t through Google. Rather, it came through MSN, and I don’t knowContinue reading “On a Strange Search Phrase”
On the Morning Blahs
One of those mornings, when I can’t get out of bed. Blah. One of those mornings where I dreamt the alarm going off, where I dreamt hitting the snooze button five or six times. I hate those nested awakenings. Blah. We may see snow flurries today. Better than yesterday’s rainy, blustery day. Blah. My coffeeContinue reading “On the Morning Blahs”

It looks classy, not girlie or gay as Marc Klein called it at last year’s Shore Leave. It’s funny. I may have scoffed at the ideaContinue reading “On Sudoku”
On Making Notes for the Future
Note to self: Do not blindly write an .htaccess file if you’ve never done so before. Get it wrong, and your webpage won’t load, doofus. Unique and interesting failure modes, indeed!

Maybe for the latest rumor on the films, maybe for the latestContinue reading “On Lord of the Rings: The White Council”
On Nerdish Insights
From an IM conversation today: mknzyCalhn: I’m racking my brain here — I’m trying to think if Doctor Who has ever done a story about cloning Scavgraphics: new earth mknzyCalhn: you’re right Scavgraphics: also, daleks Scavgraphics: aren’t the mutants clones? mknzyCalhn: well, the mutants are grown in vats, but we don’t know if they’re clonedContinue reading “On Nerdish Insights”
On Squirrels
Lunchtime conversation: Grandmother: You know what I saw yesterday? A squirrel with wings. Me: You mean, a bat? Grandmother: No, it was a squirrel. It was playing in the pine tree, and a truck came up the road. But when it changed gears it scared the squirrel and it flew away like a bird. Me:Continue reading “On Squirrels”
