Celebrating a year of corn!

To borrow heavily from the Car Talk guys: well, it's finally happened, you've wasted another year of your life reading this blog. Seriously, last April 29 I started this bad boy up and posted my first corny thoughts. So, I thought I'd mark the occasion with some words of wisdom from Mr. Freeman (please don't report me to the copyright cops):


You keep readin' 'em, I'll keep writin' 'em! Here's to another year of Thoughts About Corn.

A solemn anniversary

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. Not to be too serious, but I encourage everyone to take some time today to think about how badly the situation was handled by the former Soviet regime at the time, and how many innocent people suffered because of it. Pretty much par for the course for the Soviets. Theirs was a society where individuals mattered not at all, and Chernobyl stands as horrifying further proof of their failed experiment of a country.

More funny papers to read

OK, it's been a while since I've come through with (or annoyed you with) a comic reading recommendation. So I'll just point you to Beaver and Steve and let you have fun with it. I think I'm going to order the Beaver and Steve book, just so I can mess around with currency conversion.

What did you say again?

Remember that little speech bubble generator I posted a while ago? Now you can add a speech bubble to a photo using Say What? I dusted off and "improved" this old gem - just for you!

Feelin' manly

Last week there was a sparkplug on my kitchen counter.

Today I sawed off some tree limbs.

GRUNT.

Imaging study

Two posts for today to make up for slackness, I guess.

Check out this research survey being conducted here at RIT. It's actually kind of neat. Anyone is welcome to take it, so I thought I'd post it here.

New York - soon to be home of the Cyclops Kitten?

Yeesh - read this.

I don't like the sounds of the museum's purported mission, but barnyard oddities and an internet meme celebrity? Come on! That's too much to resist.

Yes, I know, I apologize for not posting anything for a long time. Everything has kind of happened at once lately. Grumble.
