Human bodies: the missing features
There’s a lot of things I’d change about the way our bodies work if I could. We could be so much better. So what would I change? I’m going to forgo the obvious here. There’s no need to discuss superpowers, infinite lifespans, Matrix-style brain plugs, regenerative limbs, the ability to run 100 MPH, etc. My…

Straight Eye for the Closeted Guy
I want to pitch an idea for a TV show I had*. It’s like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but in reverse; a group of straight men have to help a gay man stay in the closet. The straight guys help the closeted guy act straight. He needs help to dress poorly, get his…

Broke in this Trendy City
I’m a huge ytcracker fan. For those not into the nerdcore scene, he’s easily the best nerdy rapper out there. This particular track is something many of us can relate to. Watch and see.

Yellow limes
I was just at Bi-Rite where they have what appears to be lemons for tasting. I asked the cashier why you’d want to taste a lemon. Turns out they aren’t lemons, they’re “SWEET LIMES.” Yes that’s right, a yellow lime. Mind = BLOWN.
