“By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”

I, like many of my fellow Arizonans, have become increasingly concerned about a serious problem in our state. More and more “people” are struggling with the twin problems of not knowing who they are or where they come from. The problem has grown to such epic proportions that many Arizonans now suspect that even non-Arizonans [...]

It’s too late to save the healthcare system from the Red Menace, but it’s the perfect time to privatize the Sewer system! Just think, instead of having your character compromised by welfare bathrooms that rely on municipal handouts to run, we can all strike a bold blow for capitalism and free [...]

I can’t really pretend to call myself a serious Buddhist. I still eat meat, I don’t really practice meditation enough, I’m not where I’d feel comfortable really using that label just yet. Maybe I won’t ever get there. But the one thing I am absolutely mindful of is the ever-present need for love and compassion. [...]

AN ORAL HISTORY OF DAVID BOWIE [THE CAT], IN THE FORM OF A PROSE POEM

I’m hearing mixed reviews about this movie from people. 
I thought it was the best movie I’ve seen since the first.  I saw it in the theater three times and every time was unadulterated magic.  I’m starting to feel very sad for everyone who didn’t see it in the way I did, because it was truly [...]

Imagine you could hand out samples of Head’n’Shoulders to people in order to reduce their flakiness and it would clear up their personalities. You could put it in small empty bottles of Bumble and Bumble shampoo and they would tell everyone how great their hair is and really it would be, no one could deny [...]

Skull guys can be sinister or not, but they always seem to embody an air of dignified formality, even when ironic.
Gentleman Death is an old fashioned archetype. A Grim Reaper, a Jolly Roger, a well dressed fright who can somehow convey the calm inevitability of life extinguished with a sense of humor.

What criteria must be met for you to consider something “original?”

So, the senate is broken. Long gone are the days of Jimmy Stewart valiantly seizing the floor of the Senate to oppose corruption in Mr. Smith goes to washington. The fact of the matter is that the filibuster is a bad rule, it has always been a bad rule, and it is time for it [...]

It took me about 20 seconds of listening to the first track of this remix-tape, “Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers,” before I realized I needed to download it and spread the joy as far as I could.
This isn’t like some other Beatles-rap mashes, where the Beatles tracks are almost unchanged under the voice tracks from [...]

I’m hearing commercials on the radio advertising home equity loans of up to 105% of the value of your home, and I’m aware of similar loans promising up to 125% of the value of your home.  What’s the deal with this?  These are the kinds of lending practices that led to the collapse of the mortgage [...]

I came across this website, actually it was tweeted by someone I follow, called me2everyone.com (M2E).  This website offers you 100% free of charge access to their website, which, once completed, will be what they call a ‘semi-3D world’.   A world where you can shop, play, open your own store, store your photos and videos [...]

My christmas present to myself this year was a piece of software by a company called GForce who meticulously model classic synthesizers as algorithms to be run on digital computers. These virtual instruments are not new. About 15 or so years ago, the music software company Steinberg released an architecture for extending sound manipulation software [...]

On the infrequent occasions that I handle cash anymore, I can’t help but notice that it doesn’t even seem like money to me. It seems like 40% money. Nonfat money. Fresh from the ATM, crisp $20 bills now seem more like vaguely comforting junk mail, light as air, and they evaporate just as unceremoniously. The [...]

An airport outlet squabble yielded a deep & unexpected moment of stranger bonding.

Given that I recently went off on a bit of a rant about Cory Doctorow and his repeated failure to propose a workable solution for the problem of online piracy, I thought I would take a few minutes and suggest a possible solution that I think makes a bit of sense and wouldn’t be that [...]

What is it about Ke$ha that stops me from hating her completely?

First, yes I’ve read his books. Well, some of them. Well, part of one of them. I got fed up and stopped because it was stupid and poorly written. But that’s neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is that I hate Cory Doctorow, I hate Boing Boing, and it’s time somebody called [...]
