youtube.com/watch?v=bOKJXnpP3v8&feature=related So if you read the pub quiz newsletter, there wasn’t actually a Horse & Hound quiz scheduled last night! But you know me, I love quizzes so much I went anyway, and with 21 people showing up to play we went on with the game. Sorry about that! But if you don’t read the [...]

Merry Christmas! Don’t let anyone talk you down to ‘happy holidays’, because it just isn’t the same. And if anyone feels left out, well I can’t blame them because Christmas is the be all end all best holiday of the year and has absorbed everything from Thanksgiving to New Years in it’s pine branches. Sorry [...]

It snowed last night! And had the sense to wait until after Pub Quiz to do it. Anyone got an advent calendar? Countin’ down the days til Christmas? The ones that have little doors with chocolates are pretty awesome. Not as awesome as quiz night at the ol’ Horse & Hound though. What makes it [...]

watch?v=Hj2twApbapU You know, cereal doesn’t have to be a morning thing. Have you ever eaten fruity pebbles in the pale moonlight? Guided only by a plastic glow-in-the-dark spoon? Don’t try it in bed, you’ll make a mess. Not that I tried. Not a free table in sight at the horse and hound last night and [...]

Nobody’s seen The Room, huh? Well it’s not exactly a good movie. A lot of questions went -whoosh- at the pub last night, but I think everyone had fun regardless. Round One got a bit of a shake up, we ran 5 for 5 rather than Bingo- but only the Sandbar Developers could pull out [...]

Turkey day USA, good times, better food. I shouldn’t blame anyone for missing pub quiz the night before, but I will. You missed out! Team Orange, besides being impossible to rhyme with, took an early lead and rode the wind to victory- there may have been an upset early on but no one ended up [...]

Well, here it is! The world’s first hard drive, first introduced in 1956 — IBM’s 5MB Random Access Memory Accounting: RAMAC®, magnetic-disk memory storage. It stored information on fifty disks, which spun at 1,200 rpm. Today 5MB is nothing! If my torrents aren’t moving at least 1MB/sec I’d consider them slow. One day it’ll move [...]

There were some very good tips on saving money at Wednesday’s thrift quiz. Then again there were also some very questionable tips. If everyone siphoned gas from each other planning road trips would sure be a hassle. Three heavyweight teams showed up to the quiz and duked it out for the prize money and bragging [...]

I’ve traveled into the future from the night of Pub Quiz at the Horse  & Hound just to write this blog post. Sadly I’ve since misplaced the time machine, meaning I can’t travel to next week’s quiz. I just sort of have to wait for it to happen. Thanks to everyone who came and skinned [...]

Yes, 1990 was over 20 years ago. Don’t remind me! I wish it could have been the 90′s forever. Some kind of recursive time loop for the decade. Square Enix would still be Squaresoft. No one would know or care what an ipad was. I could see Pulp Fiction in a movie theater. Oh wait, [...]
