Articles in May, 2010Messed up—fixed!(?)
Something is still wrong with this site. The front page is now not displaying correctly, as if some code in one of the posts is invalid. Unpublishing that post allows a couple of others to appear, but then some other post gets cut off. The right sidebar never appears. EDIT: I’ve changed the site to [...] Drew’s senior pictures
Drew’s photos commemorating his senior year. These were taken in the back yard on a very sunny Saturday afternoon. You can find the full gallery at my Fotki pages. You can order pictures by clicking the “Order Print” link next to the picture in the single image view or under each picture in the gallery [...] Nathan’s graduation
My nephew graduated from Purdue University this weekend. We gathered at his former workplace: Nine Irish Brothers in Lafayette. Congratulations! Here is a gallery of the photos of his reception luncheon…. You can order prints by clicking the “Order print” link next to the picture in the single image view or under each image in [...] Something is horribly wrong—fixed!(?)
My ISP’s server (GoDaddy) apparently got hacked, and my site was infected with an anti-malware piece of malware. I’ve tried uploading a fresh install of WordPress and re-uploaded my theme files, but it’s still not working properly. UPDATE: I think I’ve fixed it now. Commentary: Star Trek (with Speakeasy!)
JJ Abrams’ reboot of the storied Star Trek franchise meets its match in the form of myself and the Doctor from Speakeasy Podcast, in which we deftly pick apart the minor plot inconsistencies, such as every single thing that happens. However, we do love the film (even if it does feel like $150 million dollar fan fiction aimed at lens flare aficionados) so we fawn over the actors and effects and compare it to the original series and movies. But we also expose the ugly specter of racism and alcoholism in Starfleet (speaking of which: take a drink every time someone abandons his post as captain!). Errata: Thruout the film, I stupidly call the Narada the Naruto. Also, grog rations were ended by the British navy in 1970. And the one where Kirk angers Spock with insults is “This Side of Paradise” and not “Shore Leave”. (Those are all mine. The Doctor’s “facts” are all “true”.) |
