Elvis has entered the building

Now that we’re back up and online, I wanted to share my latest acquisition for home decor.
I am well noted for my utter and complete lack of taste.  I know what I like to look at, and, really, that’s all that matters, isn’t it?  There is one item I’ve long wanted to grace my walls, […]

We’ve moved!

If you’re seeing this post, instead of a generic failure page for the site, then my DNS has successfully propogated, and you are seeing The Last Exit to Babylon on our new server.
The recent outage was the kick in the pants I needed to finally get things moving.  It’s been a great run with my […]

MINE!

A while back, J.C. Hutchins made a call to bloggers asking for help with a new project he was working on over at Myxer.  I wasn’t able to commit to anything at the time myself, but I’ve been eagerly waiting to see what he’d come up with.
Today he announced the launch of MINE.  MINE distills […]

Rush plays “Tom Sawyer” on Rockband

I know I’ve been a little heavy with the embedded videos, but posting this one was just mandatory, given my love for both Rush and Rockband.  It was posted on multiple blogs I read, but I saw it on The Ferrett’s first.

I need one of these to help me institute my reign of terror over The Village.

Metal - Not Just for Satan Anymore

I don’t know how he finds these things, but today I read Adam P. Knave’s Around the Internet segment over at the footnote, and was amazed.  He came across a story over at BBC News about a Capuchin monk who fronts a heavy metal band.
I’ll let that sink in a moment.

xkcd as an audio drama

Like any good geek, I’ve been a fan of the xkcd webcomic for a while.  While surfing around the web a little while back, I came across a particularly ambitious project.  The folks over at Broken Sea Audio Productions put together an audio drama based on the five comic arc “Choices.”
I admit I wasn’t sure this […]

Sing along with Dr. Horrible

If you’re not listening to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, you are, quite frankly, doing the whole entertainment thing completely wrong.  The brain-child of Joss Whedon, of Firefly, Serenity, and Buffy fame, it is a brilliant musical about a low-rent supervillain, the annoying hero who beats him up, and the girl he’s too shy to talk […]

Good for McDonald’s

Last night, my daughter and I dined at McDonald’s.  I know, I know, I should feed her real food, yadda yadda.  Fast food is our traditional Tuesday night before gaming meal, and one night I let her pick where we’re going to eat.  Anyway, since we were running earlier than usual, I decided we could […]
