A Brief Discussion of the Blobfish
I would like to take a moment to discuss the blobfish, or the Psychrolutes marcidus. The most famous photo of Mr. Blobby dates back to 2003, and has been meme-ified ever since thanks to the unique aesthetic that won it “World’s Ugliest Animal” in 2013, and occasionally due to a supposed passing r... -
Chatterbox
For some time, I’ve been using a Fitbit One, which is a fancy pedometer that tracks my steps and sleep, and then syncs over the wifi to store my data in the cloud.

The Supermarket of the Damned
For those who don’t live in the Indiana area, up until recently there was a chain of grocery stores called Marsh. I say recently because as of this month, Marsh is now a chain of empty buildings. This is either a surprising new business strategy, or the result of their descent into bankruptcy; eithe... -
The Lumberjack and the Suit
I’ve previously discussed my wife’s love of Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. Incidentally, to those who have read this blog and relied on it for investigative research purposes, I’d like to apologize and issue a minor correction.
