Today on Twitter I posted a link to an old blog entry of mine, originally from my presidential campaign site, called “The USA-PATRIOT Axe”. Since Congress is currently in the process of slithering through another renewal of some the lamest parts of that law, it seems like a great time to visit that old post […]
3 Free Dating Sites
Call me a cheapo whiner, but I find paid dating sites to be a pain. In a lot of cases, it’s not entirely clear who can message who in such a situation–i.e., it’s possible that you as a paid member are able to message someone, but they as a non-paid member can’t write you back. […]

100 Free and Useful Open Courseware Classes for Web Workers
I’m all about learning, and not so much about school, which means that online education is good cheese by me. I seldom go so far as to absorb whole courses online, but I’ve been educating myself on the web for 15 years now. And I’m pretty brilliant. So there’s that. A site called Bachelor’s Degree […]

(Nearly) Comprehensive Guide to Comedy Podcasts
I listen to quite a few comedy podcasts, all of which are included in Joe Berkowitz’s A Seriously Comprehensive Guide to Comedy Podcasts. His guide starts out with a lot of detail, and then the size and depth of the reviews shrink as you get nearer to the end. I’m assuming this is because for […]

Day off (but if you have a second…)
Various things ranging from technical difficulties to the fact that yesterday’s blog post was inordinately huge are keeping me from getting a solid blog post done within this calendar day, but I will definitely (retroactive edit: almost definitely) have two for tomorrow. I have a new comic that’s been ready to get made for days […]
The Salad That Ate Sacramento (and/or Healed the World)
I’m definitely not one of those people who sticks my nose up at folks posting relatively ordinary occurrences from their day on Twitter. I’ve been on the Internet for a long damn time, and one of the things that makes it great is its ability to bridge the invisible divide that has grown between “strangers” […]
Getting maximum filmmaking bang for minimum filmmaking bucks
Elliot Grove over at Raindance has 10 low-budget filmmaking tips that seem like great advice. Though he kind of cheats on #10, so let’s call it 9-point-something filmmaking tips. Which is still pretty good. Grove calls his tips “Zero Budget” filmmaking tips. but he is clearly speaking to folks who have at least some budget. […]

(Roughly) 25 Random Things About Me
Facebook had a “25 Random Things About Me” thing going around a while back (~2009). Here’s what I posted: ———– 1. I’m a pretty unflappable optimist, but also a pretty entrenched cynic. The two have grown comfortable with one another. 2. For several years, I “raised” peacocks. (Really, they just kind of lived their lives, […]

The Little Things – "Mashed Up"
Here is the latest edition of my comic strip The Little Things, titled “Mashed Up”.
My Twitter Accounts
I have a pretty absurd amount of Twitter accounts at this point. Most of them are dormant–accounts I started tentatively, in association with a project that I have planned (or that is nominally underway). Having dealt ad nauseam with the frustration of searching for domain names and finding them taken, I have become pretty aggressive […]
Lessons and Inspiration from Atlas Shrugged
This short film by Reggie Schickel explains, in a most creative fashion, how the book Atlas Shrugged impacted his views and changed his life. The film won the Atlas Shrugged Video Contest held by the Ayn Rand Institute, and it’s easy to see why it won. It’s super-inventive, really well-stated, inspirational, and real. With the […]
