So the NASA brainiacs recently discovered a planet, Kepler-452b, that they’ve dubbed Earth 2.0. Of course it’s 1400 light years away. So I wouldn’t start packing your bags and burning bridges just yet. Sure the real estate there is still cheap. But just try to find a buying agent. Darn near impossible. Though I can…
Well, since we’re just getting into 2013, I figure it’s about time we start talking about year 3000. So here’s a few of my predictions for where the world will be 987 years from now. 1. Windows will continue to degrade until every computer that comes with Windows 337 aka Windows “O” (see below) will…
My girlfriend sent me a video yesterday showing the new Japanese body modification trend of saline injections into the forehead. Bagel-heads they’re calling them. Now, if you’ve seen my show, you know I’m all about people who have the guts to buck the trend and be a little different looking from other people. But as…
Whenever my brain isn’t occupied with creating something, it’s usually busy consuming someone else’s creation. I read and listen to stuff constantly because it spurs my brain into new creations of my own. Often a theme will develop in my reading and listening that I didn’t expect. I was out on tour recently and here’s…
One of the major problems with having so much media at our fingertips constantly is that those media outlets have to often really stretch to find something worthwhile to talk about. There really isn’t THAT much going on in the world. So media outlets will usually opt for fear mongering of some sort to earn…
I saw a trailer for a new movie recently. It takes place in Atlantic City in the 1920’s. Four wealthy real estate magnates are each trying to undercut the other’s business while raising the cost of living to obscene amounts that force the city’s poor deeper into debt. One of the men drives a big…
I got a spam email for some penis enlargement pills the other day. And the subject line said “Don’t be alarmed when it doesn’t stop growing.” I think it’s safe to say that I would be awfully damned alarmed if it didn’t stop growing. You CAN have too much of a good thing. Ladies, if…
In the toughest real estate search ever known, NASA has finally found a new planet that resembles Earth. It’s only 600 light years away, so you can pack light. Mostly because you’ll be dead before you get there. That really makes the trip seem shorter. They say the temperature averages 72 degrees. Just like Southern…
Every so often when I sit down to write, things pop out of my head that I was expecting. This is one of those. It’s a short story. Though long for a blog, I guess. 🙂 It was another routine call for Steve. Just another clogged drain. The disposal had stopped working. He was the…
I just finished reading Confessions Of An Alien Hunter by Seth Shostak, the head of the SETI institute in Mountain View, CA. If you don’t know, SETI stands for Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Fantastic book… At one point in the book he describes how we might determine what aliens will look like by extrapolating what…
