New And Improved Do Not Mean The Same Thing

New And Improved Do Not Mean The Same Thing

I’m sitting here listening to Bauhaus and carving myself a custom pillow with a bigass kitchen knife. This is the kind of shit I do on a Friday night. Because I am a perfectly normal human worm baby who does totally normal things, just like everyone else. Why am I Frankensteining myself a new pillow? […]

Tinker Gnome: MAPP Gas Pop Gun

I share with you now my latest Tinker Gnome Project: The MAPP Gas Pop Gun.

Kerbal Space Program – Lithobraking At Its Best

I’ve played a lot of videogames over the years, from my first Atari 2600 to the 111 games in my Steam library. I’ve put an absurd number of hours into gaming, probably more than any other pursuit aside from sleeping. Unsurprisingly, I have Opinions on the games I play. I have to say that, of […]

No Shit, There I Was, In The Baltic Sea

No Shit, There I Was, In The Baltic Sea

I just got back from the Writing Excuses Retreat cruise. It will be difficult to properly convey the surreal and amazing experience of attending a writing conference intertwined with a Baltic Sea cruise. Either by itself would have been a wonderful way to spend my time. Together, they were a truly once in a lifetime […]
