The Dude loves the Public Library. Books, CDs, DVDs, video games, all available for checkout. This afternoon, Casa del The Dude is enjoying some of the 1973 Super Friends cartoons- with "four of the greatest heroes that mankind has ever known" (i.e. Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Batman/Robin). It's quite funny to watch Attila and Genghis react to the wacky adventures of Marvin, Wendy, and

Lazy fall afternoon to the rescue!! The Dude is relaxing in a recliner, everyone else is resting-- ahhh... Fall.

The improbably deep voice on the Ranger cracks The Dude up every time.

This looks interesting-- a fully integrated first person shooter addition to EVE Online: 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the line and the movie title. Remember: no looking it up (i.e. cheating)!

The AKO rented The Social Network this week, and we watched it last night-- afterward, she asked jokingly, "Did the movie make you want to sign up for Facebook?" The Dude laughed, and simply reiterated his opinion of that site and its founder/CEO... they were not favorable. 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the line and the movie title. 100 additional Quatloos for the name of the actor

Hello dear readers! Another weekend, another contest. The AKO pointed out that the video attached to last week's post had... limited appeal. Given that, the obvious response for The Dude, being a dues paying member of The Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow, is to post another wonderful video clip! *insert maniacal laugh here* On a more serious note, The Dude has been following this story,

Happy Valentine's Day! It's going to be a short post this time, just wanted to make sure that interested parties are aware of this, and that they should also watch this: 100 Quatloos for the character who spoke the line and the movie title. 100 additional Quatloos for the name of the actress who became the first African American to be nominated and win an Oscar.

Genghis is cracking Casa del The Dude up this week. She is in the short sentence phase of language development, just a couple words at a time, but her personality is really coming through. The girls got the gifts of Just Dance and Just Dance 2 for Christmas, and Genghis luuuuuuvs to get her groove on. "Daddy, UP! Dance now Daddy!"

Watching Colbert interview Amy Chua- anyone else think that her current line is the result of a marketing campaign gone bad? It's amusing to watch her backpedal from the widely reported position that "Chinese mothering" techniques are inherently superior to "Western mothering".

Happy 2011 readers! The Dude hopes that the year finds you all happy and healthy! The poll yielded a close race between an original contest and another movie quote contest, with the movie quote contest edging the original one out by one vote. That being the case, we'll be doing a movie quote contest- but perhaps with some twists that will make it more accessible to a broader audience. For the

A lazy Saturday, with everyone all snug in the house- no one has anywhere to go, and parents and children alike are looking forward to a good old fashioned snow day. Looking out the window here at Casa del The Dude, the falling snow is frosting the windows like a Norman Rockwell painting while drifts are piling up high as far as the eye can see.

So The Dude just read in the New York Times that bp isn't going to be able to repair the Deepwater Horizon leak until August. August. The worst oil disaster in U.S. history as of this writing is going to continue for two more months. Conservative government estimates released on May 27th is that the event has already released in approximately one month (April 20 - May 27) twice the 250,000

Happy 2010 faithful readers. The Dude struggled through the first 19 weeks of 2010 trying to decide what (if anything) he would do with this blog. The Great 140 Character Satantm took over distributing all of the mundane posts that would have gone here, and with the lack of a contest, there has been little reason to visit this little corner of Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail.That changes now.

It was a VERY close contest this year, with a significant amount of back and forth among several players- especially early on. After a few months it became clear that the two leaders were going to be Beeeeb and Pusher, and it came down to the wire, with Pusher edging out Beeeeb by a single 100 Quatloo answer!Congratulations to Pusher for a hard fought win, and thanks to all the players who made

The AKO mentioned that locations like Washington DC were getting a foot-plus of snow, and had no idea what to do with it, while places like here were getting a pathetic dusting.

Following Attila's lead, Genghis has continued her ongoing training in World Dominationtm by taking classes in "Laughing like an Evil Overlord".

The Dude has been watching the new "V" on Hulu (because who the hell schedules a show at 7pm??) and has been really enjoying some of the stylistic changes that have been made- for example, the idea that all the Vistors are universally hot. It makes for big fun when you see a new character, and you attempt to guess if they are a Visitor or not based on their attractiveness--- there's a drinking

Thank you all for the responses regarding our troubles with Qwest- it's nice to know that others would have been just as frustrated as we were. If nothing else, it certainly shows the "spirit of service" we can expect.Not much else to add, except that the glorious time of year known as Fall has arrived.

The Dude has an arrangement with his employer that after he completes an "on-call" cycle, he works from home the following day. It's a nice informal little perk, a way to recognize that work is intruding on your personal life. Of course, working from home means just that, working- which in The Dude's line of work means access to Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail. It doesn't have to be fast access

Megan Fox is the new Hollywood "it" girl, although The Dude strongly suspects it isn't for her ability to actually act. There have been about 300 million ads on TV for Jennifer's Body, and as far as can be seen from the ads, the Adult Swim bump had it best: the movie should be called Megan's Body.

State Fair is on, temps are getting cooler, sun is setting earlier... mmmmm.... Fall is coming. The AKO thought it would be a good idea to get a firepit for the back yard to enjoy some Fall-time s'mores under the stars, and The Dude doesn't disagree.

Sorry all for the late post. It's been a VERY interesting (in the Chinese sense) weekend at Casa Del The Dude. First, the DSL decided to give up the ghost, which has taken up far more time than necessary this weekend to recover (several hours on the phone with lovely support folks in the Phillipines, purchasing new hardware, etc.). Second, The Dude is on call for his company this weekend, which

The Dude has been busy preparing for the annual ritual of examination so that he can show the powers that be that he's qualified to hunt highwaymen on Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail. Continuing education indeed. The upshot of this is that there hasn't been a lot of joy in Mudville the last few weeks, as normal work related business has dominated the daytime hours, and then the nighttime is split

The Dude was driving home earlier in the week from work, and saw no less than six speed traps during the commute. Side streets, on ramps, center islands, the bases of hills, every trick in the book. It was a beautiful day, so perhaps the sunny weather was supposed to inspire drivers to put the pedal to the metal in an effort to get home and enjoy it? Regardless of intent, The Dude didn't see

So The Dude was listening to some tunes in antici... pation of this week's entry, and ran across some old tunes that didn't make the cut for the contest, but can get stuck in your head anyway. Warning, these songs (and videos) will warp your brain, and not necessarily in a good way: These chops are too righteous and your brain can't handle this level of rock 'n' roll. Actually, they aren't all

Big fun at Pusher and Puck's house today. Good friends, wine, and food, followed by some good deep dialogue. In a word, perfect. :) It also brought back memories of those long discussions at the old Alma Mater with Mr Kluges, Mr Pibb and the rest of the gang, where we solved world problems over a nice refreshing drink. Thank you again to Pusher and Puck for hosting, you did a wonderful job! 100

The Dude doesn't know how many of his readers have read any William Gibson (and if you haven't, you should), especially his earlier works that made him the de facto founder of the cyberpunk literary movement: Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. These books, which have been since termed his "Sprawl Trilogy", are the popular orgins of many of the terms we take for granted, such as

Looks like some Highwaymen got to T-Mobile.

The Dude and the AKO went to see the new Star Trek movie recently, and both enjoyed it immensely- the AKO went as far as to say it was her favorite Star Trek movie of all time (can't beat Wrath of Khan, as far as The Dude is concerned). It was fun to watch some of the reconning that was done, but the one item that The Dude missed was the TNG-style shields- you know, when the ship was hit, the

The Dude was aimlessly wandering the backswitches of Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail, when he stumbled upon a few useless pieces of information- did you know that J. Peterman, the catalog company made famous on Seinfeld for the crazy catalog descriptions, is back in business? Big yawn?

After the first couple warm days of spring comes the first rainy Sunday. Luckily, The Dude had a chance to get outside before the rain to attempt to clean up the remaining fall yard mess from the B.G. era (Before Genghis). It is now in piles, but bagging will have to wait. We had a neighbor who put 20 (!) bags of yard waste on the end of their driveway last week, which helps assuage any guilt.

The Dude felt sad this week when he heard that a second luminary in the RPG industry had died. He had the pleasure to meet and shake his hand two years ago at the FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store) during Worldwide Dungeons and Dragons day, and Mr. Arneson seemed a very kind, down to earth sort of man. His impact on pop culture, and gaming, will be hard to fully measure, but he will be missed.

The Dude sometimes wonders what people ten or twenty years from now will think about all the posts and blogs that are planted out on Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail for all to see. Will they laugh and think them quaint? Will they think them an aberration in what has become a wholly alien society? At some point, Attila and Genghis will be old enough to read these on their own.

The Dude occasionally loves to spend a few hours just rockin' out with the music at Case del The Dude, and with the advent of Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail, the options are limitless- besides streaming the local iTunes library to the stereo, there are a couple of other applications that come in handy- Airfoil which can stream arbitrary audio to the stereo (sourced from video, system output, etc),

We're doing Name That Tune again, but with a bit of a twist- all the songs have been selected by Apple's Geniuses from The Dude's Library of 4,759 songs as having a relationship with this week's song- it could be genre, time period, shared

Given the current economic climate, how many readers have dumped a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line in favor of VoIP through cable or DSL and a cell? I know Jaysan is in that camp, but he's a tech fiend. :) This discussion has been had with a couple co-workers, and the consensus is that if 911 services could be guaranteed during an emergency (power outage, etc), it's not a bad way to go.

The Dude doesn't care who you are going to vote for (as long as you vote, dammit), but please keep a few things in mind when you do- this is a big one, and the use of fraud and other dirty tricks to influence the outcome can and do happen. This video was made by the Obama team, but the advice in it is non-partisan.Keep your eyes open. If something doesn't smell right, it probably isn't. People

The Dude has been trying very hard to take it easy with this election season, and with just over a week to go, Mr. Kluges drew our attention to this article. In it, a concern troll essayist named Shawn Tully posits "Oh noes! People who earn more than $250,000 a year are going to have to pay more taxes! No one will work hard anymore, they are the driving force behind the economy, the world will

Ran across this today. Give it a shot. First time average for The Dude was 4.12, which isn't TOO shabby.

The Dude loves Ye Olde Informatik Oxtrail... it allows folks to wander to places and see things that they didn't even know that they were looking for. Case in point: Mad Monster Party?- a children's movie made by the same folks who brought you Santa Claus is Comin' to Town and a 1980 cartoon version of The Return of the King. Scary as it seems, The Dude clearly recalls seeing Mad Monster Party?

Why is it that small towns in Wisconsin insist on a 25MPH speed limit rather than 30MPH?

This made The Dude laugh out loud, mainly because it's a spot on representation of many gamers that he's met over the years.By the way-- picked up your copy of 4th Edition yet? ;)

How much more snow do you think we'll get? ;)The AKO is napping, Attila is playing, Deogee is laying down, and The Dude is typing away on his trusty computer. Periodically, just like physical spring cleaning, The Dude conducts a digital spring cleaning of rearranging files, deleting or archiving old information- basically just making sure that he's not wasting too much space with old stuff, all

The Dude doesn't get to the public library like he used to when he was younger, but a chance presented itself to use the excellent county library system a few weeks ago during some much needed vacation time. Attila and the AKO spent a few hours together with me meandering the stacks, each intent on finding our own small treasures to bring home.While picking through the substantial science fiction

Hello again, faithful readers. The Dude has been remiss in his posting since the publishing of last year's contest results, but no more. First and foremost, The Dude gives a sad salute to Gary Gygax. The co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons is dead. I think Stephen Colbert said it best:

Pusher! The Cheese Pusher finished with an impressive 500 Quatloos for this year's contest. The Dude isn't sure what the prize is for winning, but if nothing else, the respect and adoration of millions has been earned. "But Dude!" you wail, "Why not post a few more songs so I can earn teh schniz 1337 Quatloos?!?!" Because, faithful reader, The Dude is busy contemplating 2008's contest, and you

In a paraphrase of "H8 da playa, not da game", The Dude has been hating his commute the last few days (one was 2 1/2 hours--- one way), but not the lovely snow which is causing it. The thought of a White Christmas, and an actual WINTER, brings joy to the entire family, especially Deogee and Attila, as they both get to play outside while The Dude and the AKO shovel. Then, once the shovelling is

We travelled to both sets of relatives over Thanksgiving, and everything went very well- lots of good food and company.When we made it to the AKO's uncle's after dinner time, everyone was downstairs, and we heard what we thought was karaoke going on as we walked in the door. Turns out that it was Rock Band instead. This was the same group that introduced The Dude to Guitar Hero, so there isn't

The Dude is sick and freakin' tired of weather people who continually complain about Global Warming, and then in the same breath say how wonderful it is that we're experiencing above average temperatures in November, with no snow in sight. You don't get to pick and choose, people! If you want it to be a constant 68 degrees, with no precip, there is a simple solution-- STAY INDOORS!

The AKO kindly pointed out that Ms. Huis Herself at Musings & Mutterings tagged seven blogs with the "Seven Random Things about Yourself" meme, and Esoteric Guy was one of them. This blog isn't really about self disclosure (Ed:what the hell is it about?), but The Dude is not one to turn down a good game of Tag, even when it's Memetic. Rules:1: Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules

The Dude survived the hordes of 78 year old Mac mini owners (??!!!) to get his grubby hands on Apple's OS X 10.5 "Leopard". Yup, not exactly a horde of sweaty geeks in line for this- instead tattooed punks, smiling grandparents, and about 40% female were the demographic of the day. Listening to a 73 year old grandmother of six explain to a 50 year old mother of two the intricacies of Time Machine

It's time from another post--- the leaves are starting to fall, the weather is finally starting to get into that lovely 50-60 degree daytime range, football has started, and that most wonderful of holidays is almost upon us: Halloween! There's something about crisp fall evenings, moonlight filtering through the stark branches of leafless trees, that makes The Dude all warm and fuzzy inside.Since

The Dude and Attila were wandering through Best Buy and ran across this in the DVD section! Evidently the newly released director's cut DVD was deemed hot enough for some of the big box stores to pick it up (who knew?). Since The Dude had never seen this masterpiece of B-moviedom, he snapped up a copy and, once Attila went down for her nap, popped it in the trusty DVD player, and... was
