WOODY AT NIGHT

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

Here's a little clip of Woody the Woodmouse using a nightvision camera. He almost never comes out during the day, so I figured I would see if he's as antisocial at night. Turns out he's quite active for hours on end. As soon as any motion is ...

NASA AGENCY HELPS FIGHT PROSTITUTION

Sunday, November 21st, 2004

Google news reports... Apparently, an emerging black ho is threatening the safety of Earth, so NASA has been called in to track her down in a multi-jurisdictional anti-prostitution sting. (You gotta love Google News. The headline truncations are awesome.)

Friday, November 19th, 2004

I found this funny photo of me in a home-made Halloween costume, back in the late 70's when people actually made costumes. It wasn't comfortable, but it was really fun!
