So, yeah, I bid on some Battlestar Galactica items this week.

Leave it to crazy kids to beat the system.

Okay, okay, the pressure of regular posting is weighing on me today!

No, this is not a plea.

It turns out, yes.

So, apparently, being a professional network geek is one of the sexy jobs to train for in 2009, according to an article on MSN Encarta. Which means that, as frustrating as my job can be some days, it's apparently a good gig to have. Hunh, who knew?

I cannot make this stuff up.

So, the military is concerned about their image. I get that. Blogs and other on-line media are incredibly popular and a source of information and opinion that may influence readers. I get that, too. But, the Air Force is so worried about this they apparently have a flowchart to help counter-bloggers do their work. At least, if Wired is to be believed, they do.

You knew someone was going to do this, right?

Okay, given my obsession with the ultimate Nerf weapon, the Vulcan EBF-25, I'm sure many of my readers thought I would be the first person to make super modifications to it. I'm proud to say that I am not. I may be a geek, but I'm not that big of a geek! Those guys are here: Nerf Chaingun Modifications.

Speaking of frivolous lawsuits...

I saw Frost/Nixon Friday night.

Well, specifically, rooftop gardens in New York City.

Actually, the set of photos on Flickr is called Rich People Rooftops NYC, but it's mostly gardens.
I've always loved the idea of private gardens hidden away on the roofs of buildings in big cities like this. Don't know a thing about the set or the photographer, but the pictures look almost like an impossible fantasy to me. Very fun, well worth a look, and, hopefully, something to help you feel a little warmer this cold, cold month.
