Tedger.com

Funny little bit of fiction I came across today. I imagine it was a little like this for my computers. Only they saw their shared aluminum cases and found that they had a shared hatred of windows and have always been a good pair.

PoTW will be late this week due to the holiday. This way if there is a good picture or something thursday I can use that. Stay tuned.

If you are reading this Aria is currently up, this may not always be the case in the next week or so. Yesterday I came home to an unresponsive computer, today the same thing happened. It looks like aria might be having some hardware problems that I’ll need to work out. Until then the website might be a little unstable. If it’s down believe me it hurts me more than it hurts you.

PoTW comes early this week as I’m expecting that I’m not going to have time to even bother with something as trivial as this tomorrow night. This morning when I went to work it was 35°F (about 1°C) and it was raining. It was terrible. As I write this though it’s obvious the temperature has dropped and it’s begun to snow.

This week’s PoTW was drawn on the whiteboard we have in the apartment. No I’m not mad at peter or anything, he just wasn’t home to defend himself when I drew it.

Well it’s been a while since there has been a change here at Tedger.com so I’ve decided it’s time for some.

First of all you may or may not notice the absence of the “Stats” link at the top. The Stats pages never quite worked from the beginning and have been pretty much completely broken for the last couple months. I decided that I would just take them down rather than spend valuable time on something I doubt anyone looks at.
Second of all there is a whole new link “PoTW.” What is this “PoTW” you say? Picture of the Week of course! I’m no artist so I would never dream of making a webcomic. I’m no photographer so I would never dream of a true photoblog. Tedger.com Picture of the Week is my attempt to take my deficiencies in both, combine them, and hope that the result is a whole slightly less hideous then the parts.
Part of the reason I’m doing this is to encourage myself to post here more often. I have a pretty decent website and it’s a shame if I weren’t to use it. Another part of the reason is I’m pretty envious of those artists and photographers out there and I’m just trying to steal some of their glory. Hehe…. glory!
Well so there you have it I am officially announcing the Tedger.com Picture of the Week. It’ll be updated every Wednesday evening (I’m sure a lot of the time it will end up being Thursday morning) but it’ll be there. I’ll be sure to post a link on the blog for you RSS readers.

I’m sick and it sucks… at least I’ve got my soup and OJ.

The last couple days I’ve developed an addiction to a TV show. A TV show with a group of space-fairing characters looking for home. Sounds a little like Star Trek: Voyager?
The last couple days I’ve developed an addiction for a TV show with a charismatic leader taking his crew through hell and back. Sound like Star Trek: The Next Generation?
I’ve developed and addiction to a TV show about the crew aboard a ship that is more than a crew but a close knit group of friends that move on for the betterment of humanity. Sound like Star Trek in General?
Well it should, although these are superficial and elements chosen purely to their similarity to Star Trek there are many others, most hard to describe that give this new addiction the feel of what I love in Star Trek. Only thing is…. it’s not. I did just recently watch the last season of Star Trek: Enterprise. It was canceled after only 4 seasons. Before it the only Star Trek show to be canceled before season 7 was the original and it was doomed by stupid network execs and faulty rating systems. The point is that although I enjoyed it, Enterprise isn’t what Star Trek used to be.
My new addiction is Battlestar Galactica. Not the old series the new one that’s currently on the air. It’s absolutely amazing. I’d read reviews calling it “the best show on television… period.” I found them kind of hard to swollow. Although it does have some decent stuff the Sci-fi Channel isn’t really known for quality in it’s original shows. Quite frankly Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis are ok at best, they can’t lay a hand on The Next Generation though. BSG is simply amazing though. Good writing, great characters, fantastic story. Really it’s all there.
Battlestar Galatica is the new Star Trek.
