Today's post is a special request. Like most civilized people, I try to wear clothes on a daily basis. As a result, I also have to do laundry on at least a bi-weekly basis. It is a fairly simple process of taking my items of clothing out of the hamper, reading a series of cryptic hieroglyphics, saying the right incantations to Amun-Ra, and then ( Read more... )

I have once again returned from Dragon*Con, my quasi-annual trek to the heart of the geek universe. I had a great time listening to the cast of various iterations of Star Trek talk about their favorite episodes and seeing the amazing costumes that very bored or devoted people worked on for months to wear for four days out of the year. Since I ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is my birthday and this means I am going to post something easy to write and enjoyable to all. Also, Cracked.com recently ran an article too similar to something I was working on for this post for me to avoid accusations of plagiarism, so I bring you my most popular filler piece.

... Oh. You're still here. Ummm... Wow. I would have thought you might have wandered off by now, but clearly you are the type who also sits through all of the credits and the movies hoping there will be extra content at the end.

In preparation for this event I have been re-watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, which happens to be my favorite of the Star Trek franchises. Watching the series for the sixth or so time, I have had the opportunity to notice things ( Read more... )

It has been two months since my last haircut and my hair is once again starting to get unacceptably long. My understanding is that normal people like to get their hair cut to remedy such situations, but as you loyal reader may have gathered I am unlike normal people in this respect. I hate getting my hair cut. The thing is I don't particularly like ( Read more... )

Easter Sunday has come and gone, but I am willing to bet that most people still have Easter candy lying around and things that once seemed like really good ideas are now far less exciting. However, I would like to take this time to guide you through the left over Easter candy and point out what it all means ( Read more... )

I find the office of Pope fascinating. There have been two popes in my lifetime and I have seen both of them, and I read about popes and the papacy a lot. So naturally I would eventually come to the point of posting something here about popes. I present to you my list of the five most badass popes.

Some time ago I rekindled my on again, off again relationship with Beatles Rock Band. I have always loved the Beatles and even as an adult and young professional the opportunity to pretend that I am playing on-stage with John, Paul, George, and Ringo is too good to pass up. However no matter how cool I feel pretending that I am the fifth Beatle, ( Read more... )
