  • What I’ve Been Doing 15 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    You know how the saying goes, right? When the cat’s away, go see a kaiju homage movie. It was silly stupid fun and it was awesome. Movies Tokyo Godfathers – Min and I were looking for something to watch during dinner and I finally convinced him to check out Satoshi Kon’s fairy tale/holiday story. I […]

  • 50 Science Misconceptions [ER]

    I recently had an argument with someone about water draining from a tub/toilet. The scale’s too small. Enjoy the video and the learning that comes with it.

    Sure, it’s not like watching live theater for real or anything, but this was my first tie experiencing one of Shakespeare’s comedies (not counting liberal adaptations like 10 Things I Hate About You) and I absolutely loved it. More below. Movies This is the End – I wish I could say that I had more […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 24 June 2013 AND 1 July 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    Whoa, whoops! I forgot to get this up on time! I forgot to even post this yesterday! Been too busy, but we’re back now! Movies Brick – I’ve seen the movie before, but I figured I’d watch it as I fell asleep last Saturday. Made it through about half while conscious, but drifted off soon […]

  • What I’ve Been Doing 17 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    I went to three baseball games this week, one graduation party, and one father’s day dinner. There wasn’t much time for anything, but I still got some gaming in. Movies Nope. TV Arrested Development – Partway through S4 I realized that this season was just a giant puzzle box meant to be deciphered as you […]

    It was a pretty busy last week and this one promises to be just as action-packed. Movies None! TV Arrested Development – I like to think of S4 as a giant puzzle box that’s slowly unraveling, revealing its secrets to us. There have been some solid laughs in the second half of the season and […]

  • Plants vs. Zombies 2 Announcement Trailer [GO/ER]

    Wow, EA’s money is apparently being put to use to make crazy CG cutscenes. The new plants seem neat, so I dunno, I can’t wait to see what’s up with PvZ 2.

  • What I’ve Been Doing 3 June 2013 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]

    The funny thing about this list is that it was mostly generated over the weekend when Katie was out of town. The rest of week I spent watching the second best baseball game I’ve ever seen and hanging out with her and Kara. Movies Guys…I just want to see Star Trek. Why haven’t I seen […]

  • Edgar Wright’s “The World’s End” Trailer! [ER/FB]

    So it doesn’t look like too much of a stretch from Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead, really, but it sure looks fun, no? Anyway, it’s the final piece of the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy (you learn something new every day), so…yay!

  • Can Humans Feel Temperature? – One Minute Physics [ER]

    The answer is what you might expect, actually, but maybe not in a way that you’ve thought about it before. Fascinating.
