You’ll usually find me defending the hobby of tabletop roleplaying games. I’m a nerd and a gamer, so I find most of the stereotypes surrounding Dungeons & Dragons to be very offensive. Most of the gamers I know, including myself, are intelligent, socially adept, well-adjusted people who have no problem with the opposite [...]
Much to my wife’s dismay, I have established a short list of television show types that, as a general rule, I don’t like. This list includes all manner of surgery, interior design, and cooking shows, which is regrettably about 95% of her favorites. Rarely, if ever, do I find a show within one [...]
Although the work level is always pretty low by Friday afternoon, all productivity seemed to stop today when someone emailed this Guess the Google game to everyone in my office. The premise is pretty simple. You’ll be shown a selection of images that are supposedly the first few results from a Google Image [...]
Having worked in IT all of my professional career, I couldn’t resist but take the “Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer?” quiz on Matt Round’s website, Malevole. I was actually surprised that I got eight out of ten correct on the first attempt. Maybe all those years working around scary-looking programmers has given [...]
I’m a nerd. That much is apparent about me most, if not all, of the time. And while I wouldn’t number myself among the fanatically dedicated Trekkies, I do tend to watch it whenever I get the chance. My wife couldn’t help but roll her eyes when I got excited about our [...]

To those [...]
During the time I spent at my previous job as a web developer, I was often sorting the good web design advice from the bad. Like many aspects of life on the web, good web design is largely a matter of opinion. What one person likes may irritate or confuse another person, leaving [...]
People are stupid, and then they die, or so I like to say. I first encountered the term “Darwin Award” back in college. At the time, it sounded legitimate, although from the context I knew it must be a joke. Lo and behold, I was directed to the Darwin Awards website.
The concept [...]
To anyone who loves playing a warlock, 1.9 was a great patch. No, the class wasn’t totally revamped like the paladin (which always seems to be broken). In fact, there weren’t many changes to the warlock in the official patch notes. Nonetheless, a very significant addition was made that will forever change [...]
My mother is in the habit of sending me joke emails, and I thought this collection of one-liners was pretty funny in a corny sort of way.

How do you catch a tame rabbit?Tame way, unique up on it.
