Is it November yet?

Monday, November 3rd, 2003

Well, here it is November 3rd, and I’m back from my little AFK. I feel recharged and ready to write some fun stuff. We’ll see how that goes.

Enjoy the new random counter at the top of the page. I figured the newscasters are probably using random fire containment numbers anyway, so mine should be at least as accurate.

Anyway, thanks for coming back, and I’ll be seeing you around - hopefully more often than before…

Hiatus

Monday, October 20th, 2003

Right, so it’s obvious that I just have no time to post right now, so I’m going to call this a hiatus. So let’s say that Voodoo Time Dot Com is on hiatus until November. By then I’ll be moved into my new apartment, and I’ll have time to spend on the site again.

“On hiatus”… who the hell do I think I am, Bill Watterson?

Anyway… hope to see you all again in a couple weeks!

Bye for now.

Out of the Frying Pan…

From the folks who bring you Chapel Perilous, comes…

Chapel Furnace

The Furnace is the new political discussion forum spun-off from the Chapel; which should now keep the Chapel april-fresh and pundit-free. As a Chapeler, I’ve been invited to post at the Furnace, which I will surely do, so if arguing with a truckload of free-thinkers excites you or infuriates you, feel free to come on over.

I Suck.

OK, so if you haven’t noticed, activity has been especially low on VTDC lately - even relative to my typically lackadaisical blogging habits. With the apartment search, and the later work hours I’ve been keeping, it’s been tough to think of anything funny or interesting enough about which to write more than a couple paragraphs. Instead, I’ve taken to writing no paragraphs - which isn’t really any fun for anyone.

So I’ve decided to change things around a little for the time being to hopefully encourage me to write a little more often. Instead of the longer posts I usually do, I’m going to try to do shorter ones more often - at least until after the move. So for the next month or so, I hope to be around more often with a little less to say. We’ll see how that goes.

If you’re still visiting, thanks again for sticking around! If you’re not… well we never really liked you anyway.

Bye for now!

ANDi the monkey

This is ANDi. He’s called ANDi because ANDi is the reversed acronym for inserted DNA. ANDi is mostly a Rhesus monkey. I say mostly because ANDi is the first primate to carry a foreign gene. ANDi carries a protein that occurs naturally in jellyfish. This protein causes the jellyfish to glow a fluorescent green color.

The protein does not make ANDi glow in the dark.

WTF?!

Yeah - I know… I haven’t updated in well over a week. I suck.

I’ve been a little overwhelmed with a nasty systems failure at work, and haven’t had a whole lot of time for blogging. I’ll be back soon though.

In the meantime, you should all visit all of the sites in my links! They’re all very good.

See you soon!

Thought for the Day

I was just thinking…

Why does toilet paper packaging so often feature pictures of babies on it?

Everyone knows babies don’t even use toilet paper.

Going to the Chapel

Friday, July 25th, 2003

Sylvain of Chapel Perilous has invited me to contribute from time to time, and today I’ve posted there for the first time.

So go look. It’s a fun site about all things strange and esoteric. If your socks had Internet access, this is the site they’d be visiting.

And sometimes there are boobies there as well.

This monkey (a Rhesus Macaque, I think) is cooling off on a big block of ice. It probably sucks to have fur in the summer.

Or the monkey might have a headache. I don’t know if monkeys get headaches.
