Along with several other millionaires and billionaires, director James Cameron is building a tiny, ridiculously expensive submarine (or submersible) to explore an area of perpetual darkness in the western Pacific known as the “Challenger Deep.” He claims that this is just a fun adventure and has nothing to do with any sort of blockbuster-in-the-making. But […]

Everything you know is wrong! Each week, we ask writer and Jeopardy! ace Ken Jennings (seen at left and far left) to tear down one of the lies that they teach us in school, man. But you knew that already if you heard Ken’s appearance on the Drunken Smartass Trivia podcast. During these sleepy dog […]

Playing The Long Game For some people, “don’t touch my screen” isn’t an option. They get a Dell Inspiron One All-in-One PC. I keep a nice, tidy cubicle.

The Remote That Should Not Be WARNING: Warranty void when device is altered by use of spells, charms, or curses. I wouldn’t exactly say I was driven mad with power. For one thing, I wasn’t all that powerful: I only knew a little basic magic, and although it was the real stuff, I couldn’t have […]

Almost Famous Excuse me, Mr. Sanitizer, I know you’re busy, but would you sign my toothbrush? Oh geez, my best friend Stacy is not going to BELIEVE I met you. She is totally going to freak out, like, totally. We’re both huge fans of what you do, for real. Like, we had no idea that […]

I’ve tried being nice. You Wi-Fi thieves have forced my hand. When I set up my wireless network, I thought my home office would be relocated to Easy Street. I had it all set up: the printer, the laptop, the desktop, the camera, everything. I was all networked up and ready to go, and since […]

Hoo boy. Time once again for my weekly pet project in which I try to find the perfect song for a state in the union. You guys know the drill by now: the song has to have the state in the title, and it has to be about the state, not just one feature or […]
