    In late November of 2010, I woke up in severe pain. A hospital visit told me nothing, and the pain eventually faded, so I went home. In the months that followed, the pain returned only occasionally, and didn’t affect my life. In August 2011, the pain started returning every day. Another hospital trip, and a…

    With all the different end-of-the-world scenarios lately – we had two Raptures last year alone – it’s easy to forget that Tacoma had its own zombie apocalypse exactly one year ago. A frightful mess of blood, gore and science gone awry, the Zombie Tacomapocalypse was a huge success for the mad, world-ending geniuses at Treefish Studio. An art…

    For the last three months, I’ve been pretty heavily involved with Occupy Tacoma. It’s a movement I believe in, and a movement that I don’t think is going away anytime soon. Unfortunately, between my involvement in the movement, assorted client work and various personal crises (man, the plural for “crisis” really doesn’t look like a…

    Greetings! I’m here to ask you to democratically elect this extraterrestrial as your monarch! That…that makes sense, right? No? Okay, here’s the deal: I’m competing in the King of the Web Contest. My chances, are slim, especially as there are folks in the mix with much higher viewership than my relatively meager efforts can claim. But…

    I haven’t made an animated GIF since the days of dial-up. This archaic, yet wonderfully nostalgic, bit of Internet culture seems to have made a resurgence since its near demise in the early aughts. No, I don’t count the continued existence of animated GIFs on 4chan and Myspace as a continued existence. We will not…

    Before Halloween comes to an end, I thought I’d put together a little playlist of must-see Halloween videos. It may be late in the day – or early in the next, depending on what time zone you’re in – but I couldn’t let Halloween pass without posting something. Besides which, no trick-or-treaters have come to…

    Amocat Cafe is the place to be. The new hub of culture and community in Tacoma, Amocat’s quirky rooms and multicolored walls have housed everything from painted mariners and Patty Murray to crazed clowns and cacophonous cartoonists. Now, the cafe that professes to be “your local counter-culture and political vortex” adds another rivet to its…
