Huzzah! This week marks the halfway point of my project dedicated to finding a song to best represent each state (and thereby offending most of the state’s inhabitants, it seems) using two simple rules: the song has to have the state in the title, and it has to discuss the state as a whole rather […]

Missilebreak Outvaders is a rare sort of game that makes you rethink everything you knew about how to play three other games. You see, these Space Invaders are using their Missile Command to try and destroy your cities, and you’ve got to Breakout from their control and knock the missiles back at them. For real, […]

You’re Very Welcome If four surveillance cameras above my front door seems paranoid to you, then you don’t know an ultra-valuable welcome mat when you see one.

So you fancy yourself a movie buff. You can recite memorable lines, you know the credits to your favorite flicks better than an IMDB listing, and you even spend more time than you’d like to admit recreating famous movie scenes using various action figures around your house.

November, when you think about it, is one of the bird-iest months. Birds are constantly overhead, flying south for the winter. It’s the month when Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz,” died in 1963 (the day before the Kennedy assassination, by the way) as well as the month when Sesame Street’s Big Bird made his […]
