Having a rotten day?

Don’t feel bad…it could always be worse.

This from The Register: A criminal was arrested in Wisconsin recently after he–get this–stole a GPS device used to monitor people under house arrest.

The gadget contains a GPS tracking unit and a satellite transmitter. When it was stolen, it sent a signal to the police telling them exactly where it was located, and the police followed the signal to the man’s apartment.

Some people, you just can’t reach…

Weekend thoughts

DragonCon

DragonCon is a large, busy science fiction convention held every year in Atlanta. No, sadly, we didn’t go. bandage and M were able to attend this year, together with a large group of friends, but we, alas, were not.

So instead we spent the weekend with moonshadowdance, lightgatherer, their partner Chris, ucertola, and a group of other friends.

We had a blast.

What every evil genius needs…

…is a good archnemesis. And I believe I’ve found just the person.

He has all the qualities one generally looks for in an archnemesis: he’s intelligent, we see eye to eye on most things, we get along very well, our philosophies and worldview are generally compatible. There’s just one catch: He’s not a superhero, he’s an evil genius as well.

But I figure I can overlook that. After all, the “evil genius/superhero” thing has been done to death anyway.

So without further ado, I give you: Tacit’s arch-nemesis
