The Thursday Blog: “Christian Patriot” Edition

November 10, 2011

Pastor Grant Storms (53) was a good man. A godly man. A man who described himself to his followers as a “Christian Patriot,” and a man for whom talking the talk was simply not enough. In order to spread god’s love far and wide Pastor Grant would regularly organize forays into New Orleans’ French Quarter, he [...]

The Tuesday Videos: Tech Support Edition

November 8, 2011

Our first video is of a 2001 Norwegian comedy skit. Time, I’m afraid, has only made it more relevant and amusing. Not having Spike, I never saw this next commercial. Just in case you haven’t either, here’s a brief primer on why it may be inadvisable to bring a Sith lord to any kind of competitive [...]

The Thursday Blog: Petty Justice Edition

November 3, 2011

Back during the big class-action lawsuits against the tobacco industry, when it was becoming public knowledge just how bold faced the cigarette manufacturers were lying to the public about faked tests, fictional trials, and asserting that anyone who didn’t smoke was both unAmerican and hated their own mother, I used to have this recurring fantasy where I [...]

The Tuesday Videos: Dark Status Edition

November 1, 2011

While this was rather a long time in coming, (here, anyway) I felt like it was a worthy add. Perfect for all the fans who said, “But why didn’t he just…” Numbers two and three are a bit of nostalgia for the old-timers out there. For the newer minted gamers and geek among you, I [...]

The Thursday Blog: Happily Busy Edition

October 27, 2011

Some folks may have noticed (or not, I really have no idea about this sort of thing) that I have not been quite as quick to comment below in the last couple of months. As it happens, I picked up a couple of nice illustration jobs doing some more work for a production company here [...]

The Tuesday Videos: Record Pong Edition

October 25, 2011

He’s the Guinness World’s Record champion! He walks up… wait for it… fifteen stairs! A little Apple remembrance in honor of Steve Jobs. This is the “1984″ commercial Apple played during the 1983 Superbowl and at the Keynote that year. Feel free to skip if you’re not a fan. But if you are, it was a big [...]

The Thursday Blog: iPhone Fever Edition

October 21, 2011

“What time did you get here?” the kid with ‘Dakota’ on his name tag asked Lena. He was clean cut and friendly and wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans, the uniform for everyone at the Apple store that day. “Five o’clock.” she answered, smiling and eager to get the deed done and her hands on [...]

The Tuesday Videos: Mustachioed Muscles Edition

October 18, 2011

Tom Sellek was the original casting for Indiana Jones, but couldn’t do it because he was committed to Magnum P.I. George Lucas specifically did not want Harrison Ford as Indy because he was afraid that Ford would become too associated in the public mind with himself. Today people generally feel that George was wrong and [...]

The Thursday Blog: Hello, George Edition

October 13, 2011

Last night Lena and I watched The People vs. George Lucas. I found it fascinating, inflammatory, and touching by turns. Lena fell asleep. Mostly what I was left with was a question, what would I say to George Lucas if I had the chance? While I agree his prequel trilogy was not up to the standards [...]
