PC World 1985

The other day, I stumbled upon some photos I took last February of some old PC World magazines that I found lying around my parents’ house. They really bring back memories. The hardware and software that was thought to be really cool and revolutionary back then looks so quaint and silly now. [...]

Conversations With a Pregnant Woman - Pilot Episode

We’re still a little ways out from the infamous third trimester, but we did have a conversation the other day that makes me chuckle every time I think of it. Marga was looking at a shop window that I wasn’t interested in. I was looking in wonder at a jewelry store window full [...]

Washington, D.C. – In news that has shocked the nation, the chairman of the Federal Elections Commission of the United States, David Mason, has suspended voting across the country during this presidential election. When asked what prompted this unprecedented move, Mason explained, “Competitions like this should not be about who wins and loses. [...]

Opie and Richie would like a word with you

This might be my favorite political celebrity internet election video so far. I mean, it’s the only one with The Fonz! Could have used a little Fife, though.

Professional Photographer

I always sort of knew it was only a matter of time, with me so humbly submitting photos of such outstanding quality to Flickr, before I would be offered money for some of my work. Well, it finally happened. I signed over some rights to Panraven, Inc. to use ten of my photos [...]

Burns Simpson 2008

In the interest of fairness, I had no choice but to do a Simpsons morph with the Republican presidential running mates. Last week, I created Carlson Leonard 2008 to mock the Democratic party, so now it’s the GOP’s turn. There was only one obvious choice of a Simpsons character to morph Sarah Palin [...]

The other half of you make me so mad!

The Onion has absolutely nailed my feelings on the US Presidential election.
“While you are 100 percent certain that your preferred candidate’s stance on issues such as foreign policy and the economy would appeal to any human being with half a brain, there is, in this very same country, an equally large voting bloc which believes [...]

Take me to the pie

Occasionally, as a native English speaker living in Spain, I come across words or situations that make me laugh because they have another meaning in the other language. Today was one of those days. Believe it or not, I had never considered the double Spanglish meaning of the Spanish word pie, meaning “foot”. [...]

Carlson Leonard 2008

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Vote_Carlson_Leonard_2008′;Watching some Simpsons the other day, it hit me what presidential morph I should do next. I’ve already morphed McCain into Palin and Obama into Biden. Now it’s time to go a little cartoony. What better black guy and white guy to morph Obama and Biden into than Carl and [...]

You’ll have to drink mine for me

Today I’m going to share a little joke that my father-in-law tells every time someone makes the clichéd comment of “No, I can’t go to [wherever], you’ll have to drink my drink for me.” It’s a pretty good joke. When you retell it, you should change the foreign land and the drinks ordered [...]
