Batman Is A Corny Dingus, And Superman Should Whomp His Ass

Tears.
As the title suggests, the upcoming stupid-ass movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, will feature Batman and Superman opposing each other, at least for a while, before they inevitably come together to form what will become the Justice League of America. I do not follow this garbage film franchis…

The Best Free Software for 2015

Every few years I say (mostly to Windows users), "There's Free Software!" And here I am again.
Your phone is full of free apps. But don't neglect the desktop. These free programs can make your life better.

Why I'm Always Late

I'm not going to say all your chronically-late people that I love are evil narcisists...but that "big-thinking optimism" argument didn't hold up either.
There's not really any other explanation—chronically late people are actually insane.

Don't stare at a breast feeding woman. It makes them nervous and who suffers? The children.

Someday... with HOLOGRAMS.

Status Update:

Judy's (my mom) dog got out; got found. Christen and Mike's dog got loose; got found. This morning, my neighbor's dogs are all standing in the street, waiting to run! I corralled two into their gate...but one cattle dog got away. Hopefully my track record of not finding lost dogs who get home anyway will stand. (BTW, if anyone knows Dr. Sharon Center over at Cornell and can let me know if she found the pup--I had to call Cornell and have them page her, I don't have her number, unlisted, etc.--I'd like to know.)
