Think I’m too anti-Flash?

Alright.

LEGO Builder is cool Flash.

(Found on MeFi.)

I’ve a bit of catching up to do, it seems.

I went curling on Friday with some folks from work, and it’s a lot harder than it looks on TV. It looks like a two-dimensional game, but I figure it has four or five going on at once. It’s also no more or less riduclous than dressing up in a kilt one weekend a month to play make-believe.

I completely ignored the Oscars on Sunday. I had thought that Salon had summed up the event perfectly, until I heard Letterman’s take on it: “It’s just rich people giving each other awards.”

For the past three days, there’s been a CBC New Media conference going on. There was a usability expert here on Tuesday talking about all the problems with Flash, and there was much consternation amoung the Arts Canada/Radio 3 crowd about it. That is, until they decided they were special and unique and usability requirements don’t apply to them.

*grumble*

There are sites on the Net that are so deranged, so depraved, so vile they boggle the mind and make you question humanity itself.

And then there’s this.

Last weekend, a deranged wizard who was bent on destroying Death itself cut off my right arm above the elbow with an enchanted hacksaw. (Fortunately, I got it back. Thanks, Death!)

This weekend, I fell on my left wrist trying to round-kick a guy in the head. Even typing hurts now.

I gotta get some less dangerous hobbies.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Give it a minute. It’s more obvious than you think.

She: I haven’t done laundry in so long, I have literally nothing to wear.

He: You’re just going to have to call in naked.

Hmm. That was funnier when I said it…

Oh, and yet again I have neglected my blog for the first week of the month. What’s with that?
