On the Eve of Direction

The Wonderful Wizard

Tonight Brett and I had some fun playing with Lexxe; a new search engine. It seems like a small scale operation and runs rather slowly.

A main concept to this tool is that it will answer questions you type in, preferably based in fact. Lets see how it did with the questions we threw at it.

Q: How many feet are there between earth and the moon?
A: figure the amount of feet between earth and the moon and you have the kind of statistic that gives statistics a bad name

Fair enough

Q: How much do eye lasers cost?
A: $40000

Remember that around next Christmas folks. *hint – hint*

Q: how much do hookers cost?
A: $1000

Considerably less.

Q: How do I kill Bush?
A: Shooting Him on the Street or Blowing Him Up with a Car Bomb

Ah, the first accurate answer of the night.

Q: How did this all come about?
A: Divine Revelation As They Maintain

Seems this search engine believes in Intelligent Design. Flying Spaghetti Monster anyone?

Q: What is the URL for Baskin Robbins?
A: Free Ice Cream

Sounds good to me.

Q: What is the website for Baskin Robbins?
A: baskin robbins ice cream flavors cakes milk shakes sorbets sherbets and frozen beverages are available from 4,

I feel disillusioned.

Q: When will I die?
A: 1/13/02 10:52am
(Other answers included “01-03-2003 2:54″ and “Tuesday Maybe.”)

That’s a bit foreboding …and approximate.

Q: Who will I wed?
A: Heather Mills in Ireland

Q: Why not Heather Mills in the USA?
A: Sir Paul Mccartney

Yes, he always has had plans to throw a wrench between the two of us.

Q: What can you tell me about Heather Mills in Ireland?
A: heather mills heather mills http://www

How Do You Know if You Like Icons?

January 4th, 2006 | Filed Under: Design

Firstly, I have made a good deal of progress with the new layout.

I can’t wait to have this place revamped. My desktop PC, however, seems to have other plans. Today it took a nap –and was quite unwilling to wake up. I’m hoping to get a backup hard drive for the thing as soon as the Christmas spending season is over. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not naive enough to spend money on Christmas gifts, I just hate the crowds.

Also, I feel that I should point out my unscathed desire to own things. This illness extends even into the realm of graphical icons. To help see me through this difficult time, Iconbuffet is currently in the process of giving away treasure. You can’t go wrong with these icons; their royalty free for both commercial and personal use.

What’s the catch? They will only give a few sets of their icons to each person. Once that phase is complete, people are expected to duplicate and exchange their sets. Treat these baseball cards with respect, for they are very nearly sexually appealing. (That may be my inner graphic designer speaking >_>’ ) So anyway, sign up and appease me!

Below are the sets I have available to trade. I would bleed for Oslo Atmosphere.
