Sharing my Items of Interest

July 8, 2010

Image by Getty Images via @daylife While not blogging nearly as much as I should of late, I do still read voraciously online. I read blogs on everything from webcomics to tech to social media to screenwriting to skeptics to the inability to punctuate long lists of items in sentences to self-referential references*. I’ve always [...]

Getting Tased

June 26, 2010

Last week while I was at the Taser International offices, they said they would be willing to tase me if I wanted to know what it was like. I knew right away I had to try this out, and a quick poll on Twitter confirmed this should happen. None of my coworkers were willing to [...]

Come see me Monologue with some Galapagos!

March 3, 2010

I’m a long time Improv fan, being a former member of the most excellent Oxymoron’Z Troupe, and a founding member of the Jester’Z Troupe here in the Valley. I haven’t performed in ages, but the topic still nibbles at me, which is what led to my interest in Improv + Social Media.  So I was [...]

My Lobotomy

February 26, 2008

I just finished listening to an NPR Podcast narrated by Howard Dully.  At the age of 12, Howard was the youngest person to receive an “icepick lobotomy”.  He never spoke about his surgery with his father, or his step-mother who forced it onto him.   Now, as an adult, he tries to understand what happened to [...]

Counting bouncing sheep

November 27, 2007

I’m an unabashed fan of Cute Overload, but for some reason I can’t stop watching this baby sheep bouncing on the bed. He comes to the same end I did when engaging in this same activity… I’d want to get our own baby bed bouncing sheep, but I think it would put our already neurotic [...]

’tis the season for self-pleasin’!

November 26, 2007

I’m thinking this guy who is dropping trou in local shopping malls to pleasure himself here in Arizona has some holiday-based issues far worse than the Grinch.¬† I mean, I had my share of not getting the present I wanted at Christmas, but it never even entered my mind that this might be a good [...]

Yes, yes he is…

November 11, 2007

The truth about the turkey vulture.¬† If reincarnation is the way things work out, I’m totally submitting a request to come back as one of these guys.
