Happy Lee Day!

Today is Robert E. Lee Day, and not just any Lee Day, at that: it’s two hundred years since the day that lion of a man was born. Sadly, his beloved home state hasn’t honoured him with a special license plate or anything similar, just a mere tourist brochure. Still, I think the great hero of our history wouldn’t be bitter, but would be as noble as he ever was.

I, on the other hand, will be bitter enough for both of us…

Specialised Shotshells

I just found a glorious page of specialised shotshells. Family & friends: these are what I want for Christmas. Who wouldn’t want a tracer shell, or an incendiary shell, or a flechette shell? Or a pepper gas shell—how sweet is that? Or a shell designed specifically for stopping vehicles. Granted, I don’t need to stop any vehicles. But it’d be great to have it on hand anyway, for the bragging rights if nothing else.

Coolest Apartment Ever

I want Keith Lynch’s apartment. This guy has three VT420 terminals in his living room, and a VAX. How cool is that?
