So with NaNoWriMo and getting ready for Thanksgiving I’m a little behind in my research. So instead of throwing together an article I’m going to leave you with this amazing graph by the ever awesome Randall Munroe of XKCD. He spent a lot of...

Wow. There are performers that I enjoy seeing, and there is music that I like listening to. There are concerts that are perfectly enjoyable for their mix of both of these ingredients. And then there are concerts which amount to nothing less than a magical experience....

I’m busily writing up a description of the awesome concert I went to on Friday, but until then I give you the fruits of one of my more recent projects: horrible pickup lines! These are all real pickup lines, either used on or by my friends and most of them...

I love when I’m working on an idea and I can use one of the webcomics I read. Although, given the sheer number of them that I read I suppose it isn’t all that surprising. Continued here So what does this XKCD have to do with anything? Well...

Everyone knows the L’Oréal Paris slogan, right? And that means it’s ripe to be made fun of. Like this. Or this. And the best of the bunch:

Earthquakes are terrifying. We build our houses and our streets on the earth thinking that it’s immovable, that it’s made up of solid ground. The thought that everything could change at a moment’s notice, that the very earth could open up underneath our...

I’m going to begin the process of merging my Widdershins and my Comfy Fuzzy Ninjas blogs together. What does that mean? It means that updates that usually only show up on my Widdershins blog (Monday weirdness postings, essentially) will also show up...

One day, far in the future, I will buy a house. I will buy said house not because of the financial benefit, or because I want to stop paying rent, but because once I physically own a property I can remodel it. I can build things. Some of it’s my...

We have been conditioned to believe that medical problems have causes. If a limb hurts it must be injured. If your stomach aches you’re probably sick. But what happens when you have symptoms that can’t be explained? Take the pregnant teenager...

One of the Anne books famously said that “a house is not a real home until it had been consecrated by a birth, a wedding and a death.” This last week has me wondering if there is a similar ritual necessary for a bike. Perhaps a bike isn’t...

Today, we’re going to dive into the uncanny valley. The easiest way to explain it, unfortunately, is to demonstrate it. If you dislike slightly off-putting images I suggest you avoid this post all together. For the rest of you (brave souls that you are) I...
