Lizard men work in my office.
How do I know? Well I’ve never seen them here. However the office bathroom regularly smells like a mixture of sulfuric acid and hippo sex. Yea it’s gross, vomit-inducing, and empircal proof that lizard men work in my office. This explains so much as well. Everything from the stolen refrigerator [...]

For some reason, my most recent tattoo has illicited disbelief. After posting photos on my facebook and twitter shortly after the sitting, I received numerous comments of doubt. One such comment, from Tiffany, noting my photoshop skills. Well, it’s real.
Let me set everyone strait. This tattoo is very real and resides directly above my latin [...]

In an effort to expand my own knowledge and the knowledge of my readers, I thought a nice, elementary level piece of science might go well today.
What is Fog?
Although I don’t remember learning this specifically, I was pretty sure it was just a cloud that’s on the ground. And I was right. Of course the [...]

Google has, arguably, created some of the best pieces of cloud technology in the past five to ten years. And I’m pretty sure their reign of free, powerful tech is far from over. Especially considering the recent release of Google.org’s Flu Trends.
While I’m no self-acknowledging nerd, I have been called on many occasions by [...]

While in Salem this past weekend, I had a chance to get in some Pony fighting. Those wild mother-effers are a handful.
Sidenote: I always thought a Pony was a teenaged horse. Apparently it’s just a “smaller” horse. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony. I guess growing up a little boy who didn’t give two craps about horses really [...]

I never thought I’d write about, let alone find, something like this on the internet. Then again, I guess people need to smoke something in the Matrix.
While this looks to be more for health than anything, maybe the e-Punks will all latch onto it, and while lurking 4chan maybe light up (charge up?) an [...]

An old friend recently messaged me with a simple question. It was probably for her research, as she is working in grad school right now.
Here is the question and my response, for your records.
AH:
How do you identify? Heterosexual, Bisexual, No Identity, etc…?
MK:
I don’t identify. Two reasons.
1 – Heterosexual is perceived “normal” function, so I’m pretty [...]

Seriously? You’re apologizing now? It’s so late, you just seem like a bunch of tools now. At least the evangelicals are sticking to their guns. Even if they are dead wrong.

By time Apple actually unlocks its iPhone and updates the technology to “current” technology, I’ll be able to move my whole music library in a few seconds…..AWESOME!
Only the true geeks know why 1.2Tbps is so rad. Or what Tbps even means. Or, for that matter, what the difference is between a byte and a [...]

Atrocities happen all over the world, almost every day.
Just thought this photo was cool.
ps. On the topic of 9/11, I still think Jon Stewart provided the best commentary. Found here.

Apparently the slight majority agrees with me. So shut you “pop” filled mouths.

Only geeks like me love reading about survival scenarios in potential blackholes.
Then again, only geeks read my blog. Enjoy.
Also, anyone else think Spaghettification is rad?

I may be a super geek, but this is fucking radical.
Now I just need $20K in home theatre equipment to make it useful….and a desire to actually watch television.

How do you make your housemates love you?

Personally, I don’t really smoke pot. So it’s rare I would even mention it.
But apparently its the next penicillin.
