Trainz: I ain't gettin' on no, er, train!

I love it when a plan comes together. I also love it when programmers slip a little joke into their software. For instance, not only is that the distinctive A-Team van sitting at the grade, but Mr. T is in the front seat to boot!   Read More →

Elves on strike strike out

I'm sure somebody somewhere thought this was a good idea, but like so many things, it was an idea that should have been quickly forgotten.  I'm talking, of course, about Elf Bowling: The Movie, a computer-generated holiday film from the makers of, well, Elf Bowling: The Movie.  It involves the "real story of Santa" and his brother Dingle (yep, Dingle Kringle), pirates (yes, pirates) who bumble their way to the north pole, and hilarity ensues.  See, eventually, the elves go on strike, Dingle takes charge, and it's up to Santa to, yep, you guessed it, save Christmas.   Read More →

A meal to remember

First, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I've been eating turkey regularly for the past week, but I finally had to throw the rest out because it was dried out.  At least I got one final turkey salad sandwich out of it.  Yum.   Read More →

Sons, fathers and religion, part 2

I've been kind of dreading coming back to the blog. I don't know what to say anymore, and the longer I'm away, the harder it is to come back. As much as I love doing this, I'd barely gotten started, and suddenly, it's like the thrill is gone.   Read More →

Trainz: Announcing the CSI

In honor of my Dad, I've gone back to Trainz after a long hiatus and started an earnest effort at building a layout. I'm calling it the Central & Southern Indiana Railroad.   Read More →

Would you like fries with that?

A lot has been happening this week, and I might get around to posting about it later, but in the meantime I wanted to shared an experience we had last night.   Read More →
