< So, there are plans for a real post up here in the next little bit, from someone in Legion. Not sure who yet, but someone will post. However, in the meantime, I found this movie on the interwebs, and it pretty much made my day. Get out your popcorn, sit back and enjoy. >Tel'Kin

\/ It's been decided that it's time for me to show up. Been off doing... stuff before now so I haven't actually posted before. It's kind of interesting how that works, that one would be so caught up in the joy of flight that one forgets to come back down to mention it... Song birds have it easy that way, they just get to go on and on and EVERYone hears them! \/\/ They're not near so impressive

For those of you who understand what that means, yes it's true. For those of you who dont' ask someone who a) knows Legion and b) knows/is an engineer.Yet another observation from,RuneFor those of you who don't know; Legion is engaged. The blog dedicated to it should be arriving soon.

Non-Reproducable Experiments

@ So it turns out that 6 out of 8 young children will accept a cookie from a complete stranger. This suggests a deplorable lack of proper training of the next generation. I must say that I am quite appalled.@ For those of you who, like Sabius, are getting upset with me at the above statement, yes, the experiment was conducted with a number of different types of cookie to ensure that it was not

This is assuming that my landlord/housemate has managed not to break it in the time that I've been away. Please continue to cheer on the little microwave as it endeavors to survive in such a perilous environment.% In other news, the streetlight that I discussed in this

When we started, three years seemed like a long time. Maybe not forever, but it was definitely in the "unforeseeable future" category.Now three years have passed. There have been some rough times, and it hasn't passed "like no time at all", but it has also been wonderful and a joy to spend this time with you. I feel privileged to know you, and honoured that you enjoy spending time with

@My landlord/housemate wants me to get her a microwave. Specifically, a nice red microwave that can be found for $50 at Walmart (we will ignore for a second that I am boycotting Walmart) which will go really well with the decor in the house.Unwise Microwave Oven ExperimentsI think I agree with her. I'll pick one up next weekend.@FooL

Can you tell I'm procrastinating?

2007-04-22T20:55:00.000-04:00

@ OK, quick update before the main point of this post. Basically, it was decided that April was going to be a continuous "FooL's day". This was decided back on April 1st, but it's turned out that April was a lot more hectic (heck, life has turned out to be a lot more hectic) than planned. Thus, there haven't been many posts.@ One of the things that have been making my life hectic is that I had

Viral Marketing

2007-04-22T16:24:00.000-04:00

^ I generally don't like viral marketing, at least not the 'let's trick the public into liking our product' type. 'Amateur' websites promoting a product, fake blogs, seemingly meaningful catchphrases attached to a url that leads to something not even remotely related all seems rather underhanded and wasteful to me. If your product is actually that good, then you shouldn't need to trick me into

The Miscellaneous, Slightly Worrisome, Post of Doom

Once again Legion is keeping to his normal update schedule of 'if and when I get around to it, (read- usually when I really need to do something else but I'm going to procrastinate so I'm doing this instead)'So I decided to share my most recent amusement with the wonderful world known as the people who should really be doing something yet choose to read this instead.

And one again it falls to me to translate from a dialect of Legionilic into English... so sad...For a group of such refined minds you would think that they would remember that while dialects tend to be compatible, entirely separate languages are difficult to translate if you aren't familiar with both. Thankfully there's this wonderful thing known as 'common'.The point of this entry, however, was

It's a bit late to be doing this, but we thought it should be done. We'd like to wish everyone happy holy days, and if there are any that we missed that we should have included, please let us know.

2006-11-29T15:48:00.000-04:00

Greetings, one and all.I'm not sure that Legion remembered to post that section where you get to tell us all apart. As I recall, he didn't. Oh well, wasn't the quote something about 'forgetfulness being one of the signs of a great mind'.... maybe not. But I can definitely claim 'Tidiness is the last refuge of a desperate mind'. It may be noted that the only neat thing Legion and I tend to

Why Posting in a Timely Manner is a Good Idea

2006-11-23T02:19:00.000-04:00

@ "Note to the FooLish" was written, in part, to satisfy a promise to Strider. Today we realized that I'd forgotten an important note somehow. This must be corrected, to be sure. Which is why I'm posting this, the third in a series. Normally the others in Legion wouldn't let me post this many entries in a row (and I understand that Sabius has one that he wants to post), but they've made an

Note To The Foolish

'Cause the wise certainly don't need it.@ If you're pruning a tree - for sake of argument, a pear tree - and you happen to be in this tree - in order to get to the upper branches, you see - it is a good idea to avoid cutting the branch you are holding on to. It is a particularly good idea to avoid cutting the branch you are using to keep yourself in the tree closer to the tree than your hand is.

The Obligatory Welcome Post

2006-08-22T23:19:00.000-04:00

Normally we would avoid anything that's normal, on the basis that it's good to be original. However, having read some blogs that did not include a welcome post, we have discovered that sometimes originality is overrated. It can be very confusing, figuring out what the point of a blog is. Therefore, in keeping with tradition, we have included this post."My name is Legion, for we are many."
