So I just finished baking some cinnamon-oatmeal-raisin cookies. They turned out much better than the last recipe I used, which resulted in rock-solid lumps of inedible not-cookie. It called for three cups of oats, but I only put in two to be on the safe side. They seem okay. I have another recipe to try as well.
Mohansic State Hospital
Xydexx has recently gathered information about the former Mohansic State Hospital and the area surrounding Mohansic Lake in Westchester County. A subpage with details and maps he collected will be added soon.
Current Events
The current events section is no longer current and needs to be updated. Currently I'm looking into acquiring Adobe Creative Design Standard for conducting my Important Research. I need to add an About Xydexx page here, create a graphics template with a color palette for XDT, and then complete the long-awaited Squeakyponyland Guide to Import/Export and the Super Bowl of Eyeballs. In my downtime I'm also working on logging in submissions we've gotten and creating the database for the Anthrocon conbook and ad submissions. I've also finished doing major re-organization in the downstairs storage room.
Robot Ponies
Robot pony production has come to a halt, and the factory is currently idle. I am once again considering resuming production of squeaky ponies instead, because they're shinier and squeakier. Or perhaps a springbok. Everyone wants an inflatable springbok. They're bouncy and squeaky, too. No raygun to turn people into ponies, but I guess you can't have everything.
Speaking of which, I need to finish up that naughty artwork for the 2-page comic which currently only exists in draft form in my filing cabinet here. So much to do! But I think folks will like it once it gets finished. It's delightfully pervy, just like me.
Historical Info
This page will be replaced with information on Mohansic State Hospital and the New York State Training School For Boys, once I get around to it. I have the necessary maps and such. I have a theory that there was a railroad siding leading to the NYSTSFB, because there was a line item in their budget for construction of one, and satellite views show something that looks an awful lot like a railroad grade that ends at Mohansic Golf Course. It's entirely possible, but I need to stop at the Yorktown Historical Society and confirm this. All in good time.
Random Notes
Random notes are extremely random. There is, however, a limit to how much I can publish here. It's like I commented a little while back: Entomology really bugs me. Ha! With wit like that, one wonders why I don't play Mornington Crescent more often.
I should set up a website dedicated to worshipping Xydexx's shiny, squeaky hooves. That would be awesome, like Xydexx. Then when people click on his hooves to worship them they get little randomly-generated bits of advice and good thoughts. Yeah, I think I like this idea. The trick is overcoming procrastination enough to make it happen.
Mission Statement of the Damned
The Mission Statement of the Damned continues to torment hapless surfers of the internet. It was developed by my former cow-orkers at Hunchbacked Billiards:
"The burgeoning global approximations marketplace is accelerating to an emergent cusp of the inevitable tipping point, and we recognize that our existing organization is asymetrically hyper-qualified and strategically positioned to advance our industry-leading best-practice business modeling to the next challenge level and utilize 110% out-of-the-box, scalpel-in-hand synergistic thinking. Actively leveraging best-in-breed thought leadership by example with battle-hardened personnel and C-level, securely networked E-technology, we dedicate each other to promote silos of excellence through impactful force projection upon the global marketplace and actualize positive international brand recognition as the gold standard, premiere provider of world-class services that are not merely baked in, but future-forward and unsurpassed by anything except our own expectations."
This still needs to mention something about project management in relation to robotic ponies.
