My family busied themselves in the living room, knowing that the two-hour-long task I was about to undertake would require my full and total concentration. I sat nervously at my keyboard, anxiously awaiting an instant message from a stranger I had never met or even spoken with. For the third time, I needlessly rechecked my [...]
Further insight:
I’ve now done it 23 times, twice unsuccessfully;
I’ve done it near high-security facilities such as the San Jose International Airport (which I will NEVER call Norm Mineta Airport), city government buildings, dams, Microsoft, NASA Ames Research Center (under Threatcon Bravo), freeways, and bridges;
I’ve also done it in open fields, forests, rivers, and bike trails;

I was randomly surfing the web today and ran across this amusing story, copying it into the temporary storage area I use when I’m writing, but I forgot to write down any information for credits before I closed the window. I wish I could give credit where credit is due:
I used to ride my bicycle [...]
I received a package today.
I wasn’t expecting the package, the address was handwritten, I’d never heard of the sender and don’t even know anyone from Indiana, the contents of the long manila mailing envelope were lumpy and lopsided with soft spots in the middle, it was sealed with vast amounts of tape, glue and staples, [...]
The clues continue:
As of today, I’ve done it 15 times, twice yesterday;
Until I did it and explained it to others, no one I know had ever heard of it, let alone done it before;
The first time I did it was on August 10 and it has consumed a lot of my spare time, one of [...]
For the past hour or so my stomach has been unsettled, a thick, queasy, Pepto-Bismol kind of unsettled. No, I haven’t received any threatening or harassing emails lately. No, I’m not anxious about an upcoming job interview. No, I’m not going to be sequestered in a locked house for a month with the likes of [...]
More insanity from the minds of eBay auctioneers:
BLACK LEG WARMERS W/PINK STARS PUNK GOTH RAVE
I’m starting these kinda high, because they are really cool, it took me while to sew, and I sewed through my finger making them. (right through the nail and out the other side OUCH!) But don’t worry i took the star [...]
I’ve done something mysterious many times during the last week:
You can’t do it in total darkness;
It requires batteries;
It can sometimes be more fun to do it with a partner or a group than by yourself;
You can’t do it at home, but you can do it while driving a car, riding a bike, rollerblading, or walking;
People [...]
More proof that life has not changed in a thousand years. A millennium ago, charlatans and quacks posed as mediums, claiming the ability to foresee the future or speak with the dead, misleading their patrons and robbing them of their fortunes. Today is no exception.
John Edward, today’s best-known practitioner of mediumship, falls heavily into the [...]
Well, this has been an interesting few days. It’s tough keeping up with a lunatic Playmate! Over 140 comments have been left by Playmate Stephanie in the three days she has invaded my site, most were her particular brand of evil pennings and were removed. I had thought that the whole Ms. Adams saga was [...]
