Lazy Sundays
Is it bad form to spend an entire video blog talking about my textual blog? Well, if it is, I suppose it’s a good thing that I didn’t do that. Sure, I talk about this blog in my video today, but I spent a lot more time talking to or about a glass banana. See,…

Of time-lapse and chalk-offs

I’ve never really understood why baseball is the choice sport for indicating the progression of a sexual relationship. I mean, every sport…

Updates (Adam, where are your videos???)
Some of the info in the video is out of date. I’m just too lazy to record a new “update vlog” right now. Also, all of the “sidebar” info from the YouTube page is copied here below I’ve been trying to upload this for weeks, but every prior attempt came through with NO SOUND WHATSOEVER…
