Remember the time I backflipped over a mountain gorge?

March 24, 2016 0 Comments

It was pretty awesome when I did a backflip over a 72-foot canyon on my bike. I took some video of it but for some reason Youtube keeps saying it’s some dude called “Kelly McGarry” which is ridiculous because this is obviously me so I don’t even know what to say about that. You can totally tell from the gloves it’s me, though. Boy, that was sketchy! But I came away from it okay because as you can tell this video is of me and I don’t know who “Kelly McGarry” is, what a botch job by Youtube because everyone knows I did this, I took the video just four days ago in Indiana just look at the gloves you can tell. Well bye.

Tech company founder’s rant on the homeless shows that he’s a giant asshole

February 19, 2016 0 Comments

Justin Keller, the founder of Commando.io, some tech company that I can’t be bothered to look into because screw this guy, recently ranted about the homeless in his neighborhood.

The wealthy working people have earned their right to live in the city. They went out, got an education, work hard, and earned it. I shouldn’t have to worry about being accosted. I…

Why did I stop reading books?

January 28, 2016 2 Comments

After never being away from a book for more than a few days at a time my entire life, the last year has been devoid of finished books. What went wrong? If that sounds like the setup for a piece that is going to explore some interesting ideas about reading, let me spoil it for you: It’s not. I genuinely ran into a wall. Not for lack of trying. I read on a daily basis, often for work (research, etc.), and regularly for pleasure. I subscribe to a number of magazines — yes, print magazines are still a thing! — and have my face buried in text for at least a portion of every day. Actually finishing a book, however, has become near impossible, and…

Jason Dixon has a greener

January 24, 2016 0 Comments

Jason Dixon was the best artist in my 6th, 7th and 8th grade elementary school classes. He was that kid who just had it. He’d doodle these cartoon characters that got people crowded around his desk to admire them. While I made crude comic strips to entertain friends — “Step Off” was my big hit, and by “big hit” I mean it used to crack up my friend Abdul — Jason drew the shit out of stuff as easy as you or I pull up our pants in the morning. Cartoony characters, superheroes, kickass tanks and stuff. He was good. What he was not good at was blowing his nose. To this day, the thought of a snotty nose brings Jason and a jingle I…
