…Oh, yeah. I was doing a pledge drive.

As you can see, it is coming along:








I’m about halfway to an Xbox, 1/3rd of the way to one with this Kinect thingy to it, and a quarter of the way to one that has an exceedingly high number associated with it that I am not entirely certain is actually necessary in any meaningful fashion but it impresses me when I see a reminder that computer TLs have gone from 7 to 8 in my lifetime.

:flipping through book:

Huh. That line still works in 4E. How refreshing.

Yet another thinly-disguised, self-serving tip jar post.

So, is this the secret?

Ask for a small amount, and state a purpose? Makes sense. OK. Ten bucks for the Moe Lane Needs an Xbox* Pledge Drive!




Or something.

*Or maybe a PlayStation 3, sure. Wii U? …Apparently not available yet.

Well, the new coffee maker is here.

Thanks again to everybody who tossed into the pledge drive; I promise to use this to… well, make coffee. not exactly the most dynamic promise made during a pledge drive, I know, but really what else am I going to say? “I shall use this coffee maker to break the space-time barrier?”  I have barely enough math and science to know just how stupid the phrase ‘space-time barrier’ is.

Seriously: thanks.

Ach, well.

It was a good run for the pledge drive. I’m annoyingly either dealing with the beginnings of a cold, or one heck of an allergic reaction, so don’t mind me if I’m seeming a bit loopy right now: I blame the antihistamine.

But let’s get that button in for the last-minute coffeemaker benefactors:





T minus one days and counting on the end of the birthday pledge drive.

Pretty good day, today: I could even possibly end up with enough to get the coffeemaker replaced.  Or not: I suspect that the Usual Suspects on the Online Left are still too shell-shocked at the way that the administration impaled themselves with their own Obamacare arguments today and yesterday to spend too much time sending hate mail to mere bloggers such as myself. Depressing, really.

At any rate, tomorrow – my birthday- is the last day of said pledge drive any which way.





Update on the birthday pledge drive…

…well, there really isn’t much of one, really.  It’s Sunday, and I’m no Rich Burlew.  As is my general custom, I have sent my thanks via email in response to those who donate; it’s always nice to get that kind of feedback.




This ends Wednesday, which is also the birthday where I become The Answer.  And man, is that a weird thought.

“Wow. You hate me! You really, really hate me!”

I seem to have struck a nerve with this post holding Elizabeth Warren to the same speech code that she and her fellow progressive buddies are so slobberingly eager to inflict on the rest of us at the drop of a hat.  Various complaints, whines on Twitter, direct-to-spam tantrums on this site, and at least one RedState banning (need to check that one to see whether we’ve flushed out any more trolls), it’s absolutely clear that a bunch of people are not happy with me.

You know what that means, right?

Right.  It means that it’s time for a pledge drive. Continue reading “Wow. You hate me! You really, really hate me!”
