This old demon was simply the most amazing cat I’ve ever known. He’s long gone now, but this photo (click to enlarge) hangs in my home and he is fondly remembered.

Anagrams for M. Douglas Wray
It is said that all truth can be found in anagrams. These seem to argue for that.
The Hunting of the Snark
The Hunting of the Snark (pdf, 1Mb)
laid out on 8.5 x 11 pages complete with original illustrations. Artwork is low-resolution to keep the file size down.
A classic that every child should hear at least once.

On-Site Mac Service
In this age of ‘drop it off and it’ll be ready in a week… or two…’ there are still service techs who will come to you.
Parents of the King
One of the figures from a series commissioned by Chipotle: ‘Parents of the King‘ by: Bruce Gueswel

This is taken from the diner’s POV – it’s quite a striking piece – as are all the Mayan figures Bruce and co. have done! I was really pleased when I heard this artist was a local. They’ve done a ton of other great stuff – check out their site!
Phone phishing: The role of VoIP in phishing attacks
Ed Skoudis
06.13.2006
It’s happened three times in the past six months. Due to “irregularities” on my credit card account, I’ve received voice mails asking me to call my bank at a telephone number mentioned in the voice mails. Do I call that number? Not with the rise of phone phishing. As users grow wiser about traditional email-based phishing scams, the bad guys add nasty new twists, the latest being phone phishing. These techniques, which borrow ideas from traditional phishing, phone-based social engineering and the emerging widespread deployment of low-cost VoIP, take two forms. Enterprises that help their users cope with phone phishing now will be better prepared to defend themselves when the attacks evolve into more serious phone-based spear phishing attacks.
Beer Prayer
I can’t take credit for this wonderful prayer. I just neatened it up and put it in a standard format for your printing pleasure. Enjoy!
The Beer Prayer
Our Lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed by thy Drink.
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
at home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
and forgive us our spillage,
as we forgive those who spill upon us.
And lead us not into incarceration,
but deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer,
the bitter,
and the lager.

Me and Mom at Arlington
1977, just after college graduation. My mother and I at Arlington National Cemetary.
I remember being overwhelmed by all the death. Acres and acres of tombstones.
Little did I realize that one day the battle would come to me. My mother’s death means so much more to me than all those soldier’s lives.
Sometimes I miss you so much mom.
I’ll be along, wait up.
Cowboy Kids
Marilyn and her brother Vern in a classic American pose.
Man, I wish I had a fraction of the cowboy-madness franchise from that era.
Yippie Ki-yay y’all.
Marilyn at one month
Such a beautiful baby! Photo actually had a slight tint, that’s why it’s RGB. I don’t think it’s sepia toning, just aged. Lovely detail in the nightie and blanket!
Marilyn as Shirley Temple
My lovely wife as a child. Someone’s mom had a savage jones for Shirley Temple…
