Justice League 2
For my birthday I used the 15% off e-coupon from Converse to get myself two special pairs of Chucks. The super special set is reserved for October and below are a more impressive take on the current Justice League because … Continue reading
Welcome *hack!* *wheeeeeze!* August
In Austin, we have some good news and some bad news… The good news is that allergy season has ended. The bad news is now the new allergy season has begun. Ugh! I got to feel right during the build … Continue reading
Better late than never to fellow Leo Kate!
We ran into her the other night at Steve Martin too! Had I known she was going, we could’ve met for a drink before or after the show, probably after, the traffic was awful. Sadly, Kate the Magnificent couldn’t make … Continue reading
The Red State Captain America
A little gift from Somara when she attended the local comic book convention a couple weeks ago.
Atheist TV launches today
The Religious Right, LDS, Catholic Church and even Hassidic Jews have a channel on cable/satellite systems, yet nothing for the Atheists. CNN and MSNBC don’t count. Although this is only via the Web and Roku, it’s a start. Next stop … Continue reading

D’oh! Forgot to mention 11 years of marriage
I never forgot the date, I just didn’t plug it here and since today is my birthday, I want to now bring attention to it. I will spare us all on the gift because they just get dumb. Even so, our … Continue reading

Happy Birthday to me
Sunday was the bigger celebration at Maggiano’s with a handful of great friends I have in Austin. If there were free Wi-Fi, I would’ve set up a couple FaceTime sessions to bring in far-away guests. I’ll blather on about the … Continue reading

1914: WWI officially begins
After sabre-rattling at the Serbs, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war and dominoes fell day-by-day until all the major players in Europe were fighting. I managed to catch part of a discussion on NPR with some experts revisiting the events, especially … Continue reading
Happy 74th Birthday Bugs Bunny!
My personal (cartoon) hero and animal totem is one year closer to his big 7-5. Maybe Cartoon Network will try harder next season to get his TV career back on track. The Looney Toons Show was pretty good despite my doubts … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Christina!
It’s under the wire because July 27th was a bigger day than usual as you’ll see over the next several days. I do want to kick things off with a big shout-out for my trilingual and awesome friend Christina the Recruiter. … Continue reading
Happy Batman Day!
DC Comics has deemed today to be the official Batman Day despite his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 having its anniversary several months earlier. I finally realized they probably chose later so it would coincide with the overhyped, over-attended San Diego convention. … Continue reading
All too easy…
OK, I only got a 9/10 because I flubbed on a 50/50 proposal with the last one entailing the space shuttle Atlantis based upon the choices given. The initial nine space/starships were a breeze to identify with or without the process … Continue reading
All children want to be eaten first!
For when Mickeythulhu awakens from his slumber under Anaheim, well just says it isn’t going to be pretty. My sensei and friend Lester here wearing a little gift I threw his away via TeeFury. He digs horror plus I gave … Continue reading
Save v. Inside Joke!
Here is my extra birthday gift to Ebeth. A shirt dedicated to our (as in clique, there’s more to it than us two) mutual love of games. Not just D&D but board games, card games and video. Besides, the d20 … Continue reading
