Oh, how I love the Internet. If you saw my last post, you know that I recently had a few seconds of Internet fame that has stretched to approximately half a minute of fame by this point. The people behind the Food Network show Ace of Cakes — a show I’ve seen a few times, [...]

Hi everyone! It’s been ages since I’ve posted — I’m basically using Twitter as a daily (sometimes more often than that) blogging thing. I’ll probably get around to fixing up this site one of these days, who knows? But, hey, I just had to post about my 15 seconds of Trekkie nerddom fame. A few [...]

Well, hey, lookie here, I’m in the local paper! Last week, Rob Thomas of the Capital Times called me up to talk to me about a paper I wrote for an educational psychology class last spring, on expertise in Guitar Hero. I’ve posted on this little blog about that paper before, but in case you [...]

My Internet pal Roxy and others have been keeping the lolcats thing going for a while through pretty goofy applications of lolcat captions to various other things — there’s of course LOLTrek, LOLWho, LOLPotter, etc. She started rewatching Twin Peaks the other day and now has me caught up in making LOLPeaks for no good [...]

September 8th, the birthday of Star Trek, the TV that for better or worse, is the one I know the most about. Forty-one years young, and ready to start anew with some guy from Lost and some dude from Heroes. I haven’t had much time to post in the past few weeks, but I have [...]
