Stupid SQLite

5 comments

I use SQLite to maintain the database for my blog. It is annoying sometimes when I could be using the very much more powerful MySQL, but I’m too cheap to opt for the extra money to add that ability to account. I feel like using MySQL for a blog database is like trying to swat [...]

Holy Crap this is cool!

TI made their electrical engineering software free for the TI-89, and it comes free on the TI-89 titanium. To put this in perspective this was 100$ calculator software that does a ton of EE stuff for you with almost no work. There are circuit solvers, fourier calculations…just awesome stuff. Man, I hope this makes Bode [...]

I was walking home today, pondering some recent developments in the Methodist Church, and some things I read yesterday at Christianity Today concerning homosexuality. I got to thinking a lot about the female Methodist pastor who professed her homosexuality to her bishop. If you want to read about her judicial trial (a trial to see [...]

Stupidity and Tiredness

3 comments

I’m in the middle of writing a paper discussing Aristotle’s views on slavery (he was for slavery) and I find myself bored, and tired. I’m tired because I waited for a long while to work on the paper, which is my own fault. I’m bored because slavery is such a non-issue today for me. I [...]

Lunch Today

2 comments

As usual, we will be at Legends at 1pm. If you want a good burger and fries for 3.99 come on down. Also, you can hang with Rob, Dirk, Seth, Art and me, which is always cool. Be there, or you’re lame.

More stuff on throat singing

No comments

I was annoying Lauren last night with my attempts at bringing out the harmonics in my voice, and I was somewhat successful. But I got to thinking that there has to be some better websites for this kind of thing. And I found a good one.http://www.khoomei.comThis guys site has good mp3 examples of people actually [...]

I’m out of shape….duh.

I skated to work today, and my ankles are killing me, and my calves, hams, and quads are burning. I remembered just how bad my bearings have got beat up since I got those skates, and I remembered just how out of shape I am. I felt like the wind was blowing me backwards at [...]

I heard that some people from around church were watching a DVD of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (which is a totally awesome group…if you haven’t heard them, you should check them out) and I got to thinking about the time I watched that DVD and they had a tuvan throat singer on it. If [...]

Looking Up

7 comments

Things are indeed looking up today. I’ve grilled dinner for the last two days in a row…if I could go to the first part of the Kill Bill party at my house it would be three…but alas, I’m forced to eat rabbit food because of Liz’s vegetarian persuasion on our Minneapolis group….or more appropriately because [...]

Ups and Downs

The Bad I couldn’t sleep last night. For the last few weeks I’ve either been sleeping a lot and waking up tired or not sleeping much because of obligations…or I’ve had insomnia. This is sucking a lot. I don’t have any clue what is going on. I’ve been taking vitamins a lot, I’ve been trying [...]

Bored

1 comment

Well I have a test tomorrow, and I’m sitting here waiting for some old homework solutions to print out, so I figure I should type a little. First off, Kill Bill party can be co-ed, but I wouldn’t advise it, as I will most likely be acting like an idiot…which I am want to do [...]

Kill Bill Vol. 2 Party

Well, it is that time. Kill Bill Vol. 2 is being released in theaters on Friday, and we know that men must assemble, drink beer, eat meat, and go watch gallons of blood spewing across the screen. To that end we are inviting anyone who wishes to watch Kill Bill Volume one and two, come [...]

I LOVE the cock

5 comments

My name is Benjamin Patrick Catlin, and I LOVE THE COCK. I love the cock so much, that I am planning on building a monument to the cock. It will be life-size, and incredibly life-like, modelled after my own cock. I have already purchased the half inch cube of marble with which to sculpt my [...]
