Okay, this is the best page on the web ever… http://www.tnaqua.org/Animals/Penguins.asp  I cannot tell you how much this page has improved the way I live my life.  The live penguin feed is just too much.  My life is complete.  It makes me more impatient to finish my website at archpenguin.com.

Take my advice--don’t take Bret’s advice.

Alistair makes the worst decision possible by inviting Bret onto his show once again.
Bret proceeds to show Alistair the power of magic. Magic that comes out of your ears, blood-covered and screaming. Just pick a card.

Minesweeper Hates Me

I played a game of Minesweeper on Windows.  Windows hates me.  Therefore, Minesweeper hates me.

In case you’ve never played, I had to guess where the mine was on the last one.  I couldn’t just use logic.  I sat there debating for a while.  The clock kept going, so I guessed, and lost.  Grr.

Yeah, we kinda had issues with the webhost yesterday.  You might have noticed that the site was down and that there was a scary message in place of it.  Don’t worry.  We just needed to fix something with the hosting company.  We didn’t do anything horrible, we just neglected to switch over some settings when the webhost made improvements.  It’s all sorted out now, so we’re good to go.

I have, however, started making backups of everything.  I figure it’s a good idea, just in case….

The Tales of GenericBoy Generic(Gender)

It was hh:mm when the phone rang.  Generic(Gender) answered it with his or her usual greeting:  “Hello, this is Generic(Gender) speaking.”

The voice on the other end seemed to have emotion.

“Hello, Generic!  I was meaning to speak with you.  I have a question to ask.”

“Go right ahead and ask,” said Generic(Gender).

“Would you like to attend my gathering in the near future?” he or she asked.

Without doubt or hesitation,  Generic(Gender) stated, “Of course.”

The time passed before the gathering was to take place.  The shadows changed length.  Generic(Gender) could sense something amiss.

Without prior notification, an enourmous event occurred that changed the course of Generic(Gender)’s proceedings.  In light of the occurance, Generic(Gender) ruled it imperative to to become the figure of hope for all, which he or she then did swiftly, overcoming the obstacle with such success that Generic(Gender) became known to those in his or her general proximity as a person of generally moral character to be remembered for a time.

Generic(Gender) made it to the gathering at the specified time, having overcome the problem in a timely manner.  A person there heard of what Generic(Gender) had done and became the individual of Generic(Gender)’s dreams.

Then a good majority of them survived in a better-than-average state until they no longer lived.
