I fucking love the way that Django just came right out and said, “Fuck these guys.” Inglorious gets major points with me for making it so clear that the Nazis and the Germans were two different things. Django goes the exact opposite way and it needed to be said so badly. Fuck the Confederate States. Kaboom. To hell with your sisters and your sons and your horses, kaboom. Oh hi there you’re Australian you’re Quentin Tarantino and you’re going to let Django free? Too bad you’re still one of them kaboom. All you get is the coolest death.

I guess what we’re really worried about is Tarantino’s right to make revenge fantasies for any demographic besides his own. But Tarantino’s demographic has notably had enough revenge fantasies.

Grandmother and Amelia, sitting on the back patio waiting for the moon to rise.


The High Bridge at night. I got really lost in Kentucky trying to drive to Kroger’s and ended up here, at the highest cantilevered bridge over a navigable stream IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. It was built by the same guy who built the Brooklyn Bridge, but he did a better job, because he didn’t die working on this one.

Kafka and crow communicate.


This painting is only interesting because it is an inferior reimagining of a painting at the Ringling Museum. As you can see, the perspective is really off in a bunch of places.


This painting was sort of amazing. The guy painted exactly the parts that you saw here and left the rest completely undone. It’s a picture of “The Expulsion of Hagar,” a rather depressing scene in the Bible, and my theory is that it reminded this artist of his childhood.

The good news is that the waste heat from my ASIC chips helps to keep my room warm.

The bad news is that I live in Texas, so I only have four months until I really, really don’t want any more waste heat in my room.

The really bad news is that these two eruptors that I bought are not going to make back what I paid for them in time. Not unless I leave them on for all four months and Bitcoins stabilize at about $1,000 and namecoins achieve 1=1 parity with bitcoins.

So, when they tell you don’t get into mining unless you’re getting in all the way, they mean it. It’s over for small investments in mining. Unless you want an expensive space heater.
