This was super fun. I hadn’t thought about Metalocalypse in years! It was great to revisit it with friends.

My friends and I were obsessed with this movie in high school.

If you’ve ever wanted to listen to someone read just the picture section of a spy memoir out loud, here is your chance. Guest starring me!

Always put one of these guys and a gun in your tire filler commercial.

The ending credits for Dean Koontz’s Phantoms, which is a real turd of a film, include a credit for the movie’s “helmet boy,” which sounds more like an epithet than an actual job.

“I didn’t come here to touch base… I came here to jump it!” I scream, revealing my hidden wing suit and hurling myself out the meeting room window in one swift motion. “The coolest thing I ever saw,” a coworker declares at the memorial luncheon a week later.

A story in two videos

I replaced the computer I use to rip analog video with an Ubuntu setup yesterday and it just worked?! Recognized all my capture dongles and audio interface, found the video card for hardware acceleration, OBS setup was easy. I was shocked!

Went to a neighborhood block party and found out we have a secret donut shop and secret focaccia/bagel shop within walking distance of our house.
