Bonus Post: New Theme
I’ve installed a new theme (F2, the successor to the Fluid Blue theme that I’ve been using for a while now), and made a child theme from it so I could include my icon. Let me know if you see any problems with it.

Our Nocturnal Visitor, Part II
A few weeks ago I posted that we had a raccoon raiding our trash. We’ve named him Ralph, and he and at least one of his relatives have been visiting our trash cans so regularly that we now refer to them as “Ralph’s buffet.” As I mentioned then, so long as the worst they could …
“Darth, Interrupted: Does Vader have Borderline Personality Disorder?”
Well, something is definitely wrong with him, and I don’t think Palpatine is completely to blame for it. George Lucas might be though. š
“Iām Under Arrest for What? Fifty Bizarre U.S. Laws”
To go along with my last entry on weird laws, here are another fifty. Sometimes you have to wonder what universe lawmakers actually come from.

Apparently every cloud does have a silver lining. I don’t know what it might be for the Gulf oil spill though.
“Firefox tool erases Justin Bieber from Web”
Official censorship is bad, but people censoring what they’ll see on their own systems… I can live with that. I love the name too. š
“The Case for Keeping a Clunker”
It seems that I have a good excuse for keeping my ’96 Corolla on the road — I’m not being cheap, I’m being green! š
“Geek alphabet”
Very neat. I love the geeky Portal reference in the picture too. Now all I need are a few young geeklets, so I can teach them their alphabet with this. š
Speaking of dumb people…
…I’m sure by now you’ve heard about lawmaker Joe Barton’s oil-money-fueled apology to British Petroleum earlier this week. He was later forced by his own political party to retract it, but that hasn’t stopped incensed citizens from coming up with mocking sites like this one. This is definitely both amusing and appalling. I, for one, …
