My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Wednesday, June 08, 2005. My Five Classifications of Firearms. Most knowledgeable gun owners would break this down into two groups: revolvers and semi-automatics (sometimes just called "automatics"). This isn't how I break it down personally, but in the spirit of education I'll do it that way, just for you. By the way, when you hear someone say that a round has "jammed", it means that for whatever reason, the gun failed to load a new bullet after t...

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Tuesday, June 07, 2005. Yeah, But What Do You Need All of Those For? Yeah, but what do you need all of those for? I've heard this question asked by folks near and far, both to myself and to others, both in person and in print. Why do you need all of those guns? Now, I myself only own two: a shotgun and a rimfire pistol, but the question has been asked of me nonetheless. In the strictest sense, they are. And finally, the Pokemon cards. It is tru...

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Monday, May 09, 2005. I'm a Ford Truck man. It's all I drive. I ain't got no boundaries. I don't compromise.". Wow That's some tough talk. And the guy who sings it sounds like a really tough guy, almost like he wants you to say that Ford trucks aren't King of the Mountain and aren't Built Ford Tough, just so he can pound your ass into the pavement. Does it not, in fact, constitute a boundary, in direct contrast to the subsequent assertion? And ever...

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. I'm not sure what the beaver incentive structure looks like. When it comes to beavers, what is more important? Keeping your mate and protecting home and hearth with a strong lodge, or attracting a mate with a tricked out beaver pad? Also, what if this beaver is gay and spends all of his time in his finely-appointed lodge planning awesome block parties and watching Beaver-Bravo? Then, I say, doggie gets a treat. However...

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Monday, April 20, 2009. Two Simple Rules for Pet Ownership. Reminded me of one of my rules of pet ownership. I usually say it as a joke, but really I'm kidding on the square. The rule? Don't own a pet that you couldn't kill with your bare hands if you had to. Get a shelter dog. Don't go to a breeder. I've heard the arguments for breeder dogs. Whoop-di-do. Get a shelter dog. Posted by Roland # 7:44 PM. Comments: Post a Comment. The Case for Steel.

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Friday, July 11, 2008. World: 4, McSnorglesons: 0. We have this thing about cute stuff in our household. It's kind of a problem. As soon as I saw that it was breathing, though, I said "Lucy, I found a baby mouse." She squealed with delight, we got her sister, and we spent the next ten minutes ooing. Joy got them some half and half (über milk for you non-coffee losers) in a little lid, and the McSnorglesons would sip at it, getting their whiskers an...

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Monday, August 01, 2005. The Case For Steel. I have in my garage an excellent, heavy duty table saw that was a gift from our neighbor after her husband passed away this year. I used it this weekend to make a table base for an old wooden game board that scavenger! Joy had obtained from her grandmother. I suspect that human males are born to love the scent of oiled metal and only deviate from that sense through adverse operant conditioning (like, say...

My Artwork as Harkyman. The Open Source Blender Project. Monday, June 06, 2005. Zimbabwe and Why We Need Personal Artillery. So what do you do? So now, if you live in a city, you're completely screwed. People like Mugabe stay in power by keeping the population hungry and defenseless. Do you think for one second that a city of people and families would let the government shut down their food markets and essentially starve them to death if they could prevent it? Of course not. But what could they do? It pi...
