“But it’s only a drug test…!”

From 2005 to 2008 I maintained a blog about my experiences working in the drug test industry. Every Saturday I revive one of those experiences here. The following was originally posted October 2, 2006.

“But it’s only a drug test…!” If you love to read long court summaries where a drug test collector […]

Like everyone else on the internet, I once teamed up with an artist to make a webcomic. It didn’t get very far, but I’ll share one here each Friday until there aren’t anymore. Enjoy.

Bloons

If you can tell what’s going on in that screenshot, you’re already too addicted for your own good.

The game is here. It is about monkeys, balloons, and PURE, NAKED CHAOS.

Survivor: Samoa, week six

The first person to leave the game for medical reasons was in season two when some doofus fell into the fire. It didn’t happen again for a very long time, but now it seems like it happens every season… and sometimes, as in Samoa, twice or more. I have to wonder if there’s been some […]

And now for something controversial!

I’m glad they only made one season of Firefly. (In which I’m including the movie, of course.)

I realize that, by Internet Law, you all are now supposed to come after me with torches and pitchforks. Anyone with even a single drop of nerd blood in their system is supposed to view Firefly‘s cancellation as […]

My crazy head is crazy (film at eleven)

Have you ever done that thing where you have some job or chore or obligation, and you somehow manage to convince yourself you’ve already done the job or completed the chore or met the obligation, and then just as the deadline is looming you realize you haven’t even started? Because I totally did that with […]

Technical

There must be a technical reason you can’t play a song online in Rock Band unless everyone in the band owns the song. I know the netplay stuff in Rock Band is pretty much smoke and mirrors as-is, and the load time for a song not already on a player’s hard drive would be pretty […]

Sued, or whatever.

From 2005 to 2008 I maintained a blog about my experiences working in the drug test industry. Every Saturday I revive one of those experiences here. The following was originally posted September 27, 2006.

Sued, or whatever. I wasn’t really sued. That isn’t the right word for it. I don’t even know what […]

Why “A Feast For Crows” was my favorite Ice and Fire book (and why it isn’t anymore)

As I work my way back through A Song of Ice and Fire I’ve come to realize that my attention is being focused in different areas of the story as when I first read it. Given the narrative structure of the series it’s only natural that you become more attached to some characters than others, […]
