I don't know if it's bad or good, but I just feel like the air is electrified. Everyone seems to be feeling it in one way or another. Everything seems supercharged in my neck of the woods. Things are happening in rapid sucession, projects are ramping up, homelives are hectic and active for me and those that work for me. Everything seems to be just supercharged for some reason in all aspects of our lives. Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:45:23 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=115 I've recently entered a forum that was originally revolving around the topic of whether there is an afterlife or not. The question was short, sweet and to the point - simply a question of "is there an afterlife or not". The conversation evolved and has touched on some very interesting topics and has now progressed to some of the less mundane pieces of conversation and started to touch on some of the more mystic types of phonemena. It was the fodder for a conversation between Mrs. Evil Bunneh and myself that lasted the better part of the evening and turned out to be quite rewarding... Wed, 01 Apr 2009 10:09:05 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=114 Round and round and round we go... I have a love/hate kind of relationship with conversations about religion between different parties of varying faiths. I hate getting drawn into them because I know I’m going to get ugly…but I do so love to watch the carnage ensue when it begins between two OTHER people. Partially because I'm not a very social animal, I guess. Sociopathic, maybe, but I don’t qualify myself as social. So when my conversation with someone else was interupted by a blazing, neon-cross-bearing, bible clutching, Jesus peddler saying that my views on things were wrong...I was a lot less social and a lot more sociopath... Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:45:21 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=113 And so it begins. How to take apart a Mac and put it back together better, stronger, and faster than it was before...and have some fun doing it. I can only classify myself as "semi-technical", which makes me dangerous. But in this particular project, I've been somewhat successful so far and I've had a lot of fun doing it. And so in this part of the project, we lay out what it is you need to begin this project and what you need to upgrade in terms of hardware. This is quite a recipe - perhaps a recipe for disaster. But hey, it's all in the name of fun. Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:52:34 -0500 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=112 So as many might have already guessed, I'm a geek. That's right. I said it - I'm a geek. I love to play with computers, whether it's gaming or just plain taking them apart and putting them together in new and unusual ways. But this particular little project that I got bit by the geek bug over most recently is a departure for even me. How to make an older iMac...into something else. Hense we delve into a little tutorial and some measure of a learning curve on my part as we take apart and put together an iMac as it might have been better done in 2000 when this little beast was first introduced, or at least the one I laid my hands on. Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:40:02 -0500 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=111 Now this story in CNN has really gotta give you the warm and fuzzy about our government keeping track of sensative information, doesn't it? For the last eight years, our government has been pushing harder and harder for new and improved ways of using technology to allow our personal information to fall into other people's hands. And this isn't the first of such fubar's on their part. The U.S. Government has a LONG standing record of poor records keeping and management. All this and our government thinks it has sufficient ability to keep track of the entire nation's vital records?? Anyone remember The Real ID Act? Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:26:55 -0500 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=110 Okay, for those of you who are in the know, I'm an avid racing fan. I love fast cars. I love racing sims. And before the 3v!l RabbiBob introduced me to CounterStrike, I was a longtime online racer. But I never really had the money to invest in a really good wheel. While everyone else was using TSW wheels (small niche private company that make some REALLY great wheels), I was using a MadCatz Andretti wheel that I still have today. Just a really decent $65.00 wheel that I've had now for about seven or eight years. I've worn the dashpots out on it and she's showing her age - but I still love her and use her for certain things and it was time to find a suitable replacement. Sun, 25 Jan 2009 09:25:10 -0500 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=109 Mostly this is just an excercise to see how correct I am in my predictions of the upcoming election. With everything that the last several months has held, the fact that we're STILL at war in Iraq and Afganistan, the fact that the greatly deregulated markets (thanks to the great deregulator himself) has now gone tits up and has cost the American tax payer seven hundred billion dollars, all of these things considered, this race is still likely to be closer than it should be. But here are the evil bunneh's predictions. Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:49:38 -0500 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=108 Finally having reached Chicago four hours late, not that it mattered greatly since we were still two hours before our next train rolled and it was pleasant in our little cabin despite the fact that the outlet didn’t work, we now find ourselves having trekked across Iowa, Illinois and Ohio, and now New York and on into Massachusetts, the final leg of our journey. Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:26:28 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=107 And so it is my wife and I find ourselves on our return trip home now, leaving Salt Lake City behind us. I hadn't spent time as I might have liked to describing the city, but instead spent it exploring the city with my wife, frequently losing my sense of direction as we meandered block after block throughout the downtown area. Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:44:36 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=106 Somewhere near Provo, Utah So night falls on the California Zephyr as the train winds its way up into and back down out of the mountains. The last stop we made was a small town called “Helper”, so named because the upcoming trail for those trains that were westward bound often needed an assist from a “helper” locomotive to push the train up through the switchbacks up the mountain and down the other side. Given how infrequently I've had cell phone coverage, I can only assume that the terrain must have been REALLY rugged. I've traveled pretty much from one side of this country to the other now and the only instances when I've lost signal were in those places where the terrain was particularly harsh and unfriendly to both populated areas and to cellular providers such that they couldn't put up towers. Sun, 05 Oct 2008 03:27:11 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=105 Denver, Colorado With the sun coming up behind us and the mountains in front of us, we roll through the burbs spotted with trailer parts and junk yards, testaments to the poverty that clings to the edges of our industrialized, commercialized and “civilized” nation. Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:43:08 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=104 As I am now on my second trip to Utah and seem to be prolific when I do these kinds of things, I thought I might put down a series of writings as they come to me along the road and entitle it, "Thoughts on Travel". It really is about a lot more than just travel, but that was the name that came to mind when I began writing in my journal and on my computer, so that's what it's called... Enjoy. :) Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:13:53 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=103 As reported on CNN this morning, it appears that our representatives still haven't figured out that, well, they're supposed to be representing us. And from the sentiment expressed by the masses, it's become clear that this is NOT what American's are looking for - a solution provided and maintained by the same government that brought us here in the FIRST place! Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:44:27 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=102 I doubt very much that anyone is paying attention other than the handful of Maine readers that come to my site...but if they are, then please, by all means, put this to our federal representatives. This time of neglecting the constituents of the country must come to an end. It's time that the people of this nation made an effort to make our representatives aware that they are just that - our representatives. And we cannot be ignored. Not just ignored, but dismissed as we obviously have been with relation to this proposed bailout of Wall Street. So in case Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Snowe, Mr. Allen and Mr. Michaud are not listening, and I doubt very much that they are, then by all means disseminate this open letter as widely as possible and let at least OUR representatives know that we are against this, we cannot afford it and it is NOT representative of our feelings in this and NOT in our best interest. Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:54:53 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=101 Oh, no! Oh, HELL, no! You have to be kidding me! Stop the madness and stop the inane babbling of the Bush administration saying and that idiot Paulson saying, "all we care about is the taxpayers". You lying fucktard! Watching this whole thing unfold on as CNN played the senate banking committee meeting live, I have never seen four more nervous people in my life. Bernanke looked like a deer in the headlights and Paulson was jumpier than a rabbit at a shotgun convention! As for the other two, they might as well stayed home as they were utterly useless considering the focus was on tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber, Barnanke and Paulson, the blind idiots who have led the financial industry to ruin and now expect the AMERICAN PEOPLE - the TAXPAYERS to bail their out asses and the asses of their corporate fat-cat friends on Wall Street out! I say, "let 'em bleed to death"! Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:04:32 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=100 So Mrs. Palin has entered onto the scene in "dramatic" fashion. Blowing her own horn, which in her mind also happens to be the same biblical horn that broke the walls of Jericho. And the media is eating it up as is noted from the article on CNNPolitics.com. Chosen by a dottering old fart whose claim to fame includes ties to the Keaton Five scandal and endorsed by Governor Huckster, I mean Huckabee. Touting her "vast credentials" over Barack Obama, maybe we should look a little more closely at what those credentials truly are before she dislocates her shoulder patting herself on the back... Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:56:11 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=99 I thought that perhaps some clarification was in order where some of the statements I made about Susan Collins yesterday are concerned. I received a few emails that indicated, at least to me, that there are a good number of people who don't know the facts. I've done the research in this area, at least briefly, and here are the things that I've found that bring me to believe that Ms. Collins is no longer a person I wish to have represent me as she is dishonest, catty, gossiping and in combining all of these attributes, at best she presents herself as unprofessional and conducting herself in a fashion that is not in keeping with the standards of her position nor are a fair representation of her constituents. This woman is a disgrace to her office and a disgrace to her constituents... Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:49:39 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=98 I'm ashamed to say that this is my representative, the person that supposedly represents the voice of the residents of Maine - a gossiping old hen that looks like she's the offspring of a couple of trolls. With her remarks made on talk radio about the affair had by John Edwards and later reported by WCSH6 news, she seems a lot less like an intelligent representation of the constituents of Maine and a lot more like a coffee clatch old maid gossiping about her friends while they're not in attendance. Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:14:59 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=97 Well, for all of those who have followed the Need for Speed lineup and for those particularly whose interest was piqued when "Most Wanted" came out and MAYBE it's follow up of "Carbon", be ready for a disappointment. This really isn't the same game... Tue, 05 Aug 2008 11:22:04 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=96 As if we as Americans don't have reason enough to never want to fly again, a story in the International Herald Tribune marked a new low in customer service by the airlines. Yet another example of poor customer relations on the part of those that proclaim their industry to be customer friendly... Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:07:39 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=95 As if we haven't indebted the American Tax Payers enough by yet ANOTHER quasi-governmental agency (the Federal Reserve) doing an overnight deal to bail out a mortgage lender that over extended themselves to the tune of 30 BILLION Dollars, now we find that two more quasi-governmental bohemoths are finding themselves on hard times AND that our pinheaded, short-sigted, irresponsible leadership is considering bailing THEM out, too...to the tune of FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS!!!! In some of the most sobering news stories this week, specifically the story in the financial section of CNN, we now find that the two biggest quasi-governmental monsters, much like Frankenstein, are turning to attack their creators as a result of their running amok. Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:05:59 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=94 My wife had the unfortunate experience to happen to overhear a conversation taking place between two people (and then tell me about the conversation) that only reinforced a theory I've had for some time...that people are generally stupid. Maybe all of this hype about what we're doing to ourselves isn't as much bunk as I sometimes make it out to be. But then again, perhaps it's just a matter of natural selection and our time has just come. Part of me actually is beginning to hope so. Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:41:59 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=93 Some people say that journaling is good for you, therapeutic if you will. And to some degree, I can only find that that must be true as it's some of those more lucid times in my life when I write, by hand, in my journal. My only biggest problem is that my hands don't keep up with the thoughts that run through my head...well, that and my handwriting sucks. But it occured to me as I wrote one of my entries that this country seems to have turned into a country of extremes in which those of us stuck in the middle seem to have become the forgotten ones. Strange now how we've become "the battleground" for the presidential candidacy. Neither one of these parties gave a crap about us before...but now we're the swing vote. Ironic, isn't it? Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:16:38 -0400 http://www.evilbunneh.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=92 This movie can only be described as an excercise in "let's take a really FANTASTIC concept and f*ck it up SO bad that NOBODY will want to get near it again for a decade. Instead of something fantastic, this qualifies as nothing more than disjointed, paper-thin bubblegum for the eyes. Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:34:04 -0400
