ThePete and Siskita on the Mall in DC!



Despite my lack of confidence in our leaders, being in this city makes

me want to believe...


ThePete and Siskita heading back to Bethesda on the Metro



The DC Metro is so different from the NYC subway-it seats more, it's

a smoother ride but also costs more. You can also tell the difference

visually.


Sikita and ThePete on the Hill at Night



It's when all the scary laws are passed.


Celebrate the End of Bush with a NO MORE BUSH Thong!


As TheWife and I go down to DC to celebrate what many are calling "the end of an error" I thought it would be a good time to showcase some Cafepress.com items I whipped up back in 2004 in the build-up to the last election.  Now that Bush is going to leave the White …

the coolest invoice you've ever seen???


MACROSS ZERO (2002)






Buy it!

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Definitely entertaining-the original Macross was never quite this intense (or well animated).

This is pretty damn disappointing.  I've documented on more than one occasion how George W. Bush and/or his administration has violated the law (here: 

CHICAGO 10 (2007)






Buy it!

Positive Experience/Entertaining? I would say YES. However, it's a very jarring, sometimes depressing film, so don't expect it to be a "feel good" kind of movie.


Technically any good? While the CG animation was kind of weak, everything else about the …

INSIDE MAN (2006)






Buy it!


Watch it now!

Positive Experience/Entertaining? It was certainly entertaining, but once you go deeper than the surface, you realize that this film is all glitz and no guts.


Technically any good? The acting was generally solid (though Jodie Foster's choices …

Fixing Your MBR After Ubuntu Overwrites It and more Fun with Installing Ubuntu on Netbooks!


So, I've been trying, for the past month or so, to get Ubuntu running on my two netbooks.  I can run Ubuntu 8.10 on my XO (done with instructions found here: http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=4053.0 ) but my eee was being a bit harder.  I had somehow, …

Climate Change Cartoon Explains the Really Really Bad Stuff

Yeah, yeah, I know-it's ANOTHER explanation of global warming/climate change and you've heard it all before, right? Well, no, I don't think you've heard everything this 'toon has to tell you. Basically, up to this point, the message is that CC and GW are just going to …

ATOM AGE VAMPIRE (1960)






Buy it!


Watch it now on Amazon!

DL for free at A

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Not really-I suppose it was fine for a background movie, but the story was so cliche, even for its time.


Technically any good? It was reasonably acted, but this movie treads upon well …

you're not listening to their podcast your missing …

SESSION 9 (2001)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Definitely-this movie does a great job with atmosphere and mood. If creepy is what you're after, this is it.


Technically any good? I think this film is technically very good. That is to say, the …

Hummer Cologne for Men-Just $20 at Target!



Spied this at the Target last week and was a bit surprised to see it.

Yes, my fellow men, we can now drop TWENTY BUCKS on 2.5 OUNCES of

Crazy old wooden escalators at Macy's in NYC



The wife and I have visited the Macy's on 34th street a couple of
