Guilt Trip “I Voted” Stickers

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

I was listening to the Nightside Project on KSL when one of the radio hosts (I don’t know his name) said he hates it when he sees people wearing the “I voted” stickers. He listed a number of reasons, but the one I got a kick out of was basically that the people who don’t [...]

Intern Song

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I wrote this brief little Byrd’s parody for my friend who’s doing a Summer internship in Texas.  Perhaps you’ll recognize the tune:

Next up: Rambo, the Ballet. :)

3DTRIS = Online 3D Tetris

Friday, September 8th, 2006

3DTRIS, a new online flash clone of Blockout is pretty fun. It’s actually remarkably easy to use, for a 3D game, but the game play is still quite difficult when it gets going fast. Takes me back.
In other nerdy news, I’ve created 0D Tetris for those of us who love Tetris in all dimensions.
Here it [...]

This email exchange between the City Manager of Tuttle and the lead developer of CentOS Linux is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time.
