I'd like to bring back the photologs on this blog. One of my goals at the moment is to use my digicam more, and I miss snapping photos with the idea of sharing them here. I hope to get outside more in the future, but it's been so hot...
An ongoing series Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. A delightfully lo-fi sci-fi goof centered around Back to the Future? You know I’d be into it. If there were any justice in the world Matt Johnson would get an Oscar nod for his...
