For those out there who don’t read XKCD religiously, today’s home-run:
My favorite:
Though physics seems to
promise you a Richard
Feynman-like career,
the Wiki-page for
“Physics Major”
redirects to “ENGINEER”
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Now I’ve Got Another Webcomic to Read!
Dork Tower. Two of the latest strips:
This series goes back to January, 1997. I’ve got a lot of reading to do.
“Better Clench Up, Legolas.”
Just got back from seeing The Avengers.
Yes, Joss Whedon is my master now. I think he just wrote and directed the biggest movie of 2012. What a blast! If you like superhero movies at all, you’ll love this one. I’ll pay to see it again.
(Updated post title to reflect the actual line rather than my memory of it.)
May the Fourth…
…be with you.
A repost, but a good one!

Lots of Quote of the Day fodder in this one.
Or the Next One…
Today’s User Friendly cartoon – a recycled one, as a matter of fact, but still funny and (unfortunately) accurate:
Moms Shoot Free!
Bowling Pin match, Sunday May 13.
Yes, that’s Mother’s Day.
Usual place, the Tucson Rifle Club action range.
Time: 8:00 AM sign-up, first rounds downrange about 8:20
Handguns only: .22 rimfire, centerfire revolver (.38 caliber minimum), semi-autos (9mm minimum).
You’re welcome to shoot your revolver against the semi-auto crowd, but we think it’s more fun to shoot wheelgun-vs.-wheelgun.
Cost: $10 for the first gun, $5 for any additional guns. Moms shoot free! Bring about 100 rounds for each. (Gun, not Mom.) You probably won’t need ’em all unless you’re really good at missing fast.
Hope to see you there!
Lasik
I am myopic and suffer from astigmatism. I am also presbyopic, which would normally mean my arms are too short, but in my case just means I can’t read in dim light anymore. I’m tired of it. I want to get my eyes fixed. Lasik can’t fix presbyopia, but it can fix myopia and astigmatism. I can always wear cheap reading glasses.
So, who has had Lasik surgery, and what was your outcome? I really want to know.

Worth your time.
“Fill Your Hands….”
Damon from York Arms sent me a picture tonight of my new AR-15 receiver in progress:
It’ll look better, he says, after it’s been anodized. I think it looks cool as hell already.
Note the caliber and custom serial number.
UPDATE: The upper is on order. Now I just have to wait three months….
