We can hardly contain ourselves
Get it? It’s a pun! “Contain ourselves”?!?! It’s freakin’ hysterical – alright, maybe it’s more groan-worthy, but at least it should get a reaction… oh, wait, crap, I forgot to tell you what this is about… let’s start over…
The Woman and I can hardly contain ourselves over the new closet… nevermind. This idea sucks. Let’s [...]
Bad timing indeed…
I tend to come in later than most at work because I tend to work later than most. Unfortunately, since my schedule is a little different I am often at odds with that of other people. With regular frequency I would find the kitchen being cleaned when I was in dire need of my first [...]
Gratitude does not even begin to cover it…
This weekend we had another bout of realization at just how freakin’ lucky we are. A big part of that has to do with, obviously, my game show winnings. We’ve been watching episodes of Millionaire regularly since I was on (largely to see what happened with the only contestant who went after me) and it’s [...]
Girls With Slingshots
Much like my late discovery of Questionable Content, I have stumbled into the fanbase of Girls With Slingshots 3 years too late. Thankfully Scott Kurtz linked to it over on PvPonline, otherwise I may have missed this absolutely fun, witty, and just plain brilliant webcomic. Yes, I am prone to hyperbole, but I’ve also just [...]
Cloverfield
In a word: INTENSE!
I could add a few other words, but I think I’ll stick with intense. Oh, and awesome – definitely awesome.
I’m not going to go into any details here, but Cloverfield was a great monster movie – that’s all you need to know. Wait, there’s one more thing you should know: if you [...]
Alien baby attacks… news at 11
Ultrasounds aren’t always that cute when taken out of context. As far as I can tell from this one, we’re having an alien:
At least he has my eye sockets. The Woman says I have to stop making fun of the baby so much – especially once he or she is out in the world. We [...]
30,000
I knew I was approaching the number, but it wasn’t until this morning that I realized I did hit the 30,000 track milestone on last.fm.
Now, why should you care? No reason, really, but I wanted to make sure that Chris saw this and was forced to acknowledge my greatness. Alright, in reality the milestone is [...]
Let’s make a band… meme
Alright, I normally avoid the memes because they can really clutter this otherwise stellar blog… I mean, I’m normally too lazy or don’t like the answers I come up with. But this band one I saw over at Culture kills… was just too cool to pass up.
Let’s Make a Band:

Random phone call from a stranger
An unrecognized number popped up on my cell phone. Figuring it might be someone calling me from a different phone than usual, I picked it up.
Me: Hello?
Stranger: What’s up, bottom-feeder?
Me: (laughing) Not much, who’s this?
Stranger: Is this Ted?
Me: No, this is Thom.
Stranger: Uh, lemme see, XXX-XXX-6482?
Me: No, 8462.
Stranger: Oh, geez, sorry for calling you a [...]
Set your phasers on fun!
How lame was that? Well, this is a post for geeks, so deal with it. Wil Wheaton mentioned that he just wrapped up work on a project for Star Trek The Tour. I hadn’t heard about it before but, damn, if it doesn’t look geekily awesome.
A few years back I hit The Star Trek Experience [...]
