Epic Anime Beatdown
From time to time I travel to anime conventions. While they are fun for anyone who is into this sort of thing there are some things you have to watch out for. I don’t just mean pedobear or the possibility that if you are in cosplay you may be glomped to death. No. The thing [...]

Man Vs Machine
I’ve been called a Luddite on more than one occasion. Having a healthy fear of technology is a good thing in my book. So you might understand why the fact that a computer whooping the asses of two of the biggest Jeopardy champions might just cause me to freak out a bit. Check out part [...]
The Compleat Al
