Road Trip Through Southern United States
Posted in Photography (mine) on Feb 17th, 2009
I just got back from a road trip through the Southern United States. I’ll post a travelogue later, but for now, here are some Road Trip Photos. And, since I spent a few days in New Orleans, a separate album of just New Orleans Photos
How much do I LOVE Robot Chicken? I would totally go see an Opera about the Wrath of Kahn. In fact, somebody should really get on top of producing that one because it is dripping with 13 kinds of awesome.

The Ultimate Blog (?)
Posted in Web on Dec 17th, 2008
Check out this blog. It’s full of rude language and snarky comments about cute pictures of animals. That’s pretty much the holy trinity of the Internet right there. Did I mention the language is rude? Yeah, if you don’t like swear words, this one may not be for you.

I went to check out a bunch of spiders at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. I was hoping there’d be a bit more variety/color, and I kind of wish I hadn’t just sold my macro lens, but you can see a few spider pictures. It was kind of a fun Halloween type of thing [...]
That’s a Lot of Young America
Posted in Other Media on Oct 24th, 2008
For the past 11 months, I’ve been listening to The Sound of Young America podcasts. Today, I finally made my way to the end of their back-catalog of archived episodes. That’s 256 episodes in 11 months. Assuming 30 minutes per episode that’s more than 128 hours, and that’s a pretty conservative estimate since many of [...]
John Hodgman: A brief digression on matters of lost time
Posted in Other Media on Oct 22nd, 2008
John Hodgman’s talk at TED, A brief digression on matters of lost time, is brilliantly funny. I didn’t even realize it until I had watched the video, but I have got to find myself a young, female Dune fan who will abduct me and fly me away to a sex pyramid.
