on global warmenings.

I’m probably the last person on these Interwebz to link to this, but LabRat at Atomic Nerds has a fabulous post up on the subject of environmentalism, Global Warming Climate Change, and all that good stuff.
Science starts with a question and tries to find the answer.  Dogma starts with an answer, and then tries to [...]

went to see some friends, we did.

This entry was originally a typecast, but my scanner lobotomized itself just as I was scanning the typed page, and now no amount of coaxing, threats of violence, or percussive maintenance can get it to fire up again. 
Anyway, here’s a conventional update instead.
Yesterday, Quinn and I drove over to downeast Maine, to visit the [...]

the terrible, horrible, no-good, busy as hell day.

Whenever you have a house guest in a house with small kids, and that guest spends a lot of time playing with the kids, the days after the guest’s departure are usually fraught with discipline issues.  The kids have been bouncing off the walls today, and there was a little more than the Daddy-recommended daily [...]

bloggers with guns, new england edition.

I guess it would be sloppy to skip the Northeast Bloggershoot update I promised.  You’ll have to make do without multimedia content, however, because all the video clips on my camera have been offered up (at slightly different angles) by other folks with better cameras than my Pink-‘N-Manly little Kodak.  Also, I was so distracted [...]

a good day to burn some powder.

It’s Sunday! It’s Northeast Blogger Shoot Day!
In an hour or two, I’m heading south to the sooper-seekrit location of the Blogger Shoot to meet up with the rest of the crew, to spend the day shooting guns and engaging in Good-Time-Having.  This year, I’ll actually bring my camera, so I can do a proper NEBS [...]

supernatural monsters, and the people who riddle them with bullets.

Here’s one for all the folks looking up “gun for hunting werewolf” on my blog:

Larry Correia’s novel Monster Hunter International is out from Baen, and available for your immediate purchase.  (The image above links to the Amazon page for MHI, but you should also be able to walk into your nearest Borders or Narnes [...]

on immigration.

As many of you know, I’m an American-by-choice.  Until right about five years ago, I was the citizen of a large-ish Western European country whose name rhymes with “Bermany”.  As a former immigrant, Resident Alien/Permanent Resident, and aspiring citizen, I have years and years of experience with the government agency formerly known as the Immigration [...]

open letter to the intertubes.

Dear Interwebs,
I recently lost a wager with a friend, and now I owe him a bottle of local wine.
I have procured the wine, but UPS and USPS refuse to ship bottled alcohol.  I fear there’s no way to get this delicious Piscassic Pond Halfsaett Honey Mead to my thirsty friend in Chicago, and I may [...]

i just took delivery of 10,000 calories.

The FedUp guy just trudged all the way up to the portcullis of Castle Frostbite to deliver a package. 
Turns out LabRat and Stingray over at Atomic Nerds have spared no effort or expense to provide us with caloric treats for the holiday season.  Said package included a gargantuan Ziploc bag full of homemade peanut [...]
