I used to be an even bigger geek than this.
Back in the mid-1990s, I lived on the Internet even more so than I do now, and dabbled in as many obscure and near-pointless geek activities as I could get away with. By the time the Millennium rolled around, various … Continue reading

People usually think I’m the animated one.
My youngest brother is a sailor in the U.S. Navy, currently stationed in Japan. Tonight, I watched a DVD he and his wife made to show off their new baby to my parents. While I was watching the “slideshow” portion … Continue reading

More maps for me!

I’m not even mainstream when it comes to porn.
I’m constantly reading that an appreciation of pornography is acceptable (even normal) in contemporary American society, but the truth is I’ve never been a fan of hardcore pornography. The deal-breaker for me isn’t the objectification of women or the incredibly … Continue reading

In my heart, I’m still an Arizona liberal.
For a few months last year, I worked for the Arizona Democratic Party 2002 election campaign. It didn’t pay much, but it was probably the best match I’ve ever had between my personality and my job requirements — I like … Continue reading

I was going to write about porn today, but…
