People are frustrating

Just an FYI, figure everybody probably saw this over at BoingBoing or /., but the BoingBoing link doesn't work any more, so I found a new one. Saving Energy Without Derision.

Read it, pass it around, and if nothing else, think of what nifty toys you could buy with the money you'd save.

Edit: Oh, and for the truly truly energy efficent, LED lights. Teh awesome. http://www.theledlight.com

(Not) Daily accomplishment things

Okay, lesse. Today, I made progress on cleaning up the damn back room at work. So that's a thing.

Yesterday, I finished up an RP thread on the GG forums, huzzah. Only took over a year to run, mainly because I'm lazy. And I made progress on the back room then too.

As for writing accomplishments, none so far. I think I may try yet another tack on this old Fors Story I was gonna do, involving an abandoned mansion, puppets, and a fight scene straight out of Pitfall. I need to either write something I can publish, like maybe an article for Pyramid, stat out Philor and use the demon as a Supporting Cast thing perhaps. Or maybe fin an artist for Fors or another comic (yeah, right, I've been saying I should do that for years now and not even tried but twice). Or write something else for another market, any suggestions?

Appropos of nothing

There's a kind of argument that I've named for my own amusement. This argument is based, basically, around starting with a premise that's wrong, then extrapolating it with faulty logic, and then just making up some kind of apocalyptic "what if" statement. I call it the "argument from being batshit insane."

It's often used in politics, religious arguments, and OS wars. Probably reasons those often aren't allowed in random chatting places.
