Impossible Amounts of Awesome.
What’s Love Got to do with Robots? Why Geeks have a problem with Love stories
The purpose of this post is, simply, to explain why this picture disgusts me. I see it often. It is the photo-art from the movie, The Notebook, based off the book from the same name. The photo is Rachel McAdams and some dude that I don’t care about. They are about to kiss. They haven’t … Read more
The Best and Worst of the Best and Worst of 2009: Merry Holidays
And tomorrow I will be taking one of those to see my family, to talk about my life, to reassure them that, yes, I’ll have kids one day, I promise. We need this, don’t we? We need this Christmas. This has been a very weird year. That is what people will say about this year. … Read more
The Best and Worst of the Best and Worst of 2009: Twitter

I wasn’t just watching the show. I was making the show a part of my digestive system. It was to the point … Read more
The Best and Worst of the Best and Worst of 2009: The Book is Dead. Long Live the Book.
This year has given me a few interesting and substantial changes in my life. The most meaningful one, which is the constant blessing and the constant curse, is my job at the book store. I got this job because my teaching part time pay check was only thick enough to pay my rent. I soon … Read more
The Best and Worst of the Best and Worst of 2009 part 1: Music
I have no idea who Lady Gaga is. So I put her name into the Youtube thingy: What the hell did I just listen to? I’m not sure if you call that mash of words and vocals music. It sounds what I have always envisioned what the mating sound of cloned humans would sound like … Read more
We need Tiger Woods Now More Than Ever
So the question is: If he doesn’t matter, why are you writing about him, Jarvis Slacks? Because nothing but eating and sleeping really matters. All this other stuff, from your job to your television to your iPhone, are just great distractions until you get so old that a light bulb is as entertaining to you … Read more
Watch CCTV Cameras! Catch Bad Guys! Win Prizes!
Yes, Big Brother is still watching you. And he always will. I mean, you spend so much time and attention on what you wear and those boots. Why wouldn’t he watch? Man, the creepy button flew off the scale on that one, didn’t it? Yes, Closed Circuit Televisions (Also known as CCTV for the uncool) … Read more
