So here’s something odd. While driving to work this morning, I noticed a chicken wandering around in someone’s driveway. It was on 8th Street, near the 8th and Revere intersection, and here was this Rhode Island red hen nonchalantly strutting across the driveway, as if this were normal routine. Can’t say as I’ve ever seen… Continue reading Street Chicken

Bits and pieces
Odds and end, bits and pieces tonight. Looks like the Bulletin article won’t be appearing Friday (tomorrow). Nobody knows when for sure. I’ll post here when I find out. Interestingly, the guy who interviewed us for the story on blogs now has a blog: Drunk with Ink. Cool! Tonight on a whim I set up… Continue reading Bits and pieces
Amazing accident
My wife found this somewhere: the most amazing car accident ever. Damn. I’m just speechless.
Finding Invisible Men
Totally wacky article on Kuro5hin: Using Quantum Cryptography to Find Invisible Men: But is it truly a myth, or do invisible men walk among us? And if an invisible man were to be created, how would we detect him and track his movements? … Invisible man detection has gone a long way, from the clumsy… Continue reading Finding Invisible Men
Comic book references at the Post Office
Since we’ve moved into a brand-new development, we don’t even have a mailbox yet so we have to go to the Post Office to pick up our mail. The location for this is their warehouse in the industrial part of town, and when you go in, there’s simply a tiny lobby and a doorway that… Continue reading Comic book references at the Post Office
Stumps
The previous post got me thinking for some reason about the 2000 year-old tree stumps found just off the Oregon coast, in Neskowin. You haven’t heard about them? Judging by the amount of time searching to find any pointers or references to them, most of the Web hasn’t either. This is from KXL.com’s Coastal Tour… Continue reading Stumps
Random thoughts
Ever since someone at work talked about VH1‘s “50 Worst Rock Songs” special, with “We Built this City” as the number one worst, I’m having a hard time getting that song out of my head. Why is it anymore that when Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has a celebrity guest star (which seems quite… Continue reading Random thoughts
Bird
Ever had a bird get stuck in your chimney and get out via the fireplace? We did, tonight. (Although we have a wood stove and not a true fireplace.) How the bird got in the chimney, I don’t know; I imagine it must have fallen in, but I didn’t think birds were that clumsy. At… Continue reading Bird
Oddly enough…
Since I subscribed to Reuter’s Oddly Enough RSS feed the other day, I’ve noticed that about a sixth of the odd news involved biting in some way. Weird? Yeah. Creepy weird.
Chickens and Books
A couple of links I found interesting. First is to All Consuming, “a website that watches weblogs for books that they’re talking about, and displays the most popular ones on an hourly basis.” Kinda cool. The other is to an article on Kuro5hin titled “Raising the Humble Chicken,” which is kind of random but good.… Continue reading Chickens and Books
