The Onion Archives News In Brief

Wow, I didn't notice this until just now, but The Onion is now archiving their funny News In Brief. Looks like they've got archives online going back to 1997. Awesome! Too bad you can't link directly to individual stories.

Scotty Zaccharine 002

Patrick Farley's released episode 2 of his Barracuda webcomic about dot-com San Francisco.

Tony: I'm not sure why, nor if it's a good or bad thing, but that Scott guy reminds me of you, Luke.

If you like this, you should also check out his powerful "long form" comic The Guy I Almost Was.

Crotch Saver

Crotch Saver has the maximum LCD brightness available so I can actually read the monitor, but the lowest power consumption possible for the CPU so I can keep the computer in my lap a little longer before I go sterile.

DNS Problems

I seem to be having some DNS problems with this website. I don't think it's Dotster's fault because all the other subdomains on this box (like eikon.recursion.org) are working fine. Unfortunately, I do not know what the problem is. I can reach the site from some networks but not others at various times.

Update: Apparently my secondary nameserver doesn't yet know about this hostname. Hopefully, it will be resolved soon.

Autumn Brew Review

I went to the Autumn Brew Review with some friends yesterday. Over 30 breweries from as far away as Michigan and Montana were there, but most of the beer was from in-state microbreweries. It was a great chance to sample some really good beer (not to mention get pretty damn loaded on a hot summer day).
