( Patrick ponders how best to use blogs... )

So, after that brain dump, I think my best bet is to keep using this journal for any random personal crap I feel the need to spew, and/or the occasional plug for things I think are cool (and things I post to other blogs).  For things I'm likely to rant about at length, I'll set up a separate blog with wordpress on my own site.  I'll probably just kill off uuddlrlrbas and make occasional comments here (turns out I don't have as much to say about video games as I thought) and 3edgedsword (a failed experiment - something more interesting may replace it).  slashsplat will probably merge into this journal.  Maybe not.  Still torn on that one.

Well, that was quite the waste of time, eh?

Update:  Meh, after all that rambling, I think I'll keep doing things the way I've been doing them.  /* can stay, as can uuddlrlrbas.  Trying to keep all of that under one journal will bother my burned-in need to use proper encapsulation.

That other journal (the one what no one reads) will go away, though :P

Anyone who is even remotely a fan of funny things and/or Joss Whedon, go here immediately:

Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long blog

That is all.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled LiveJournal.

At my friend Syntax' wedding, one of the groomsmen Rick-rolled the reception. Afterwards, we took the extra beer home as wedding favors.

I have decided to use this journal to aggregate posts in my other journals. It's sort of a 2-tiered tagging system, and still lets me separate any personal posts I feel like making from my information-centric journals.

Anyway, I've posted a brief rant praising the game Portal over at:

my gaming Journal

So, Co&Ca @ Winston-Salem on November 23rd.

Jamie & I will be there. Who else is there with us?

Myke, I'm looking at you. And Travis?

It's official, I'm training, and it still feel surreal: I work for Red Hat, a company that sells [Ff]ree software. This should be fun.

So, an interesting news bit on Colbert last night, for those who don't watch any Reliable News Sources :P

Bush has nominated James. W. Holsinger for Surgeon General. Back in 1991, Holsinger published this gem of a study. That's right, he thinks gay is a disease, and it's catching!

WTfuckingF, people...

There is nothing special about the following sequence:

09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0

Nothing special at all. Just posting it here because I thought it'd be nice to have this particular sequence on my journal.

Yep. Nothing special about it at all.

I just lost the game.
