Two seemingly unrelated tidbits of information I came across today: One, in my ongoing Ingenuity series, is the dustpan with built-in vacuum, as seen on Boing Boing. Two is this little thought experiment on the Boston Globe: If the Bush administration succeeds in its latest request for funding for the war in Iraq, the total…

A Quick Lai
[kml_flashembed movie= »http://vincent.knobil.free.fr/media/tinyrv_34_quick_lai.swf » height= »178″ width= »150″ /] A while back, Pamela wrote a short poem, Under Her Dress, which I put to music. That song title is singlehandedly responsable for most of the visits to this blog. Well, Pamela recently wrote me some new lyrics, which I put to music again, and the result is A Quick…
Remote Possibility: Coked Up in Kentucky
The Remote Possibility saga continues. I’m thrilled to announce that their tumultuous lives have inspired another fantastic opus: Coked Up in Kentucky. Once again, Icepic, the band’s inspirational leader, goes to the trouble of documenting the bands’ unfortunate trials and tribulations. A short excerpt to whet your appetite: […] so they accepted an opening spot…
Geeks are down

I have to wait 24 hours to see if it will be restored to its previous condition. :-((( Votre page personnelle a été suspendue pour la/les raisons suivantes: Nous n’acceptons pas…

I’ve mentioned and/or linked to Mark Morford’s articles here before. Today’s article, American kids, dumber than dirt / Warning: The next generation might just be the biggest pile of idiots in U.S. history, is a necessary, albeit terrifying read. Further compelling evidence that the U.S. are absolutely doomed. As for the rest, well, the dystopian…
Absolute Unique Geeks
A while back, I whined that the Geeks weren’t really doing as well as I had hoped. They’re still getting only a few visits a day, with a weekly peak when a new episode comes out… And so, a couple of weeks ago, the unthinkable happened: I didn’t post a new Sunday episode. I was…
Francophilia dot com
Well, the cat’s out of the bag. Pamela just unveiled her latest creation. You can read all about it on her blog. Francophilia is a niche social-networking site, for francophiles, something she’s been meaning to do for years. My involvement is more recent. I spent the last couple of weeks putting a fresh coat of…
Acceptance
I’ve written and ranted at length about the decline of the U.S., like here, here, here, here, here, or here (or just click on my Blowing off steam category). I have nearly an album’s worth of songs on the subject [Update: access the Bye Bye Murka album here]. It might include the following track list:…
