“Where did you get that shirt?” It wasn’t the most popular question. That prize goes to “Did you win?” and “How do I grew beard?”. But it was easily my favorite. I carefully selected what t-shirts I wore for the show, and I’m glad you noticed. Now then… Where You Can Get These Shirts: Panda Bear [...]
With that, our story comes to a close. Or does it? The brain is a tricky organ, completely capable of holding two utterly conflicting viewpoints at the same time without second thought. This is why skepticism isn’t called “anti-acupuncture.” Skepticism seeks to cut to the heart of the matter by educating for and encouraging critical [...]
For a long time after buying my first smart phone, this dream was normal, inevitable even; commonplace. It came in a few different varieties, with me swimming; driving a jeep which began to submerge; in the shower. The scenarios were different, but the big reveal is the same, “oh crap, my phone!” I don’t believe [...]
I received a lot of responses to yesterday’s comic. Some folks agreed, some offered gentle nudges, and some were less than encouraging. But such is the internet. The furor my off-the-cuff reaction to G+ caused in the hearts of skeptics and fanboys alike made me take pause a moment and really dive in. Because I [...]
Funny how it is. I spent the entire weekend hanging out with Nadir and there is no comic to speak of. For those who don’t know, we are geographically separated, and communicate mostly via short e-mails like the one listed below: Subject: mon comic Body: lol can you hit the publish button for me? kthx [...]
Okay, I’ll be honest. We’re floundering here. Real life has hit us in the sac like nobody’s business. Beneath our calm, content-filled exterior is a raging torrent of conventions, moves, life adjustments, and overall real life business. Or busyness. Yeah. That’s right. Nadir has uprooted himself from his Pennsylvania hideaway and absconded to Connecticut. You can [...]
…saves Time. MwaHA! So last week I presented the challenge to you, our readers, to come up with a name for our enigmatic, carelessly spontaneous time traveler. You all met the challenge with the appropriate amount of gusto, but sadly, there can only be one (the Highlander reference will make sense later). The winner of [...]
There is no exaggeration here. Well maybe a little. The air is so dry, and the cheap carpet is so terrible at my workplace that taking any more than three steps turns you into a walking capacitor, ready to deliver a self-destructive payload upon being properly grounded. I have taken to everything from being in [...]
UPDATE: Version 2.0 Available HERE >> This post has been a long time coming: A list of red flags to help you identify a pseudoscience or quack modality. I don’t recommend reading this entire article in one sitting, just as I probably shouldn’t have written it in such a fashion. Think of it as a [...]
No, it doesn’t. And there is no bus stop metaphor. I tried, dear sweet baby Velociraptor Jesus, I tried. I actually wrote a whole post trying to compare it with the future of space travel in America. But I felt it just took away from a self-admittedly wonderful comic. So I will mince words and [...]
