First of all, I’ve had a few glasses of wine. Second of all, here are some photos. I kept wanting to say that these mashed potatoes were made from scratch, but then I kept thinking of Carl Sagan: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe”. Yes,…

Dog Poop Park
I visited Dog Poop Park this past weekend. You read that correctly – Dog Poop Park. In the last week, a few different people on twitter, such as @JustineMaki, had pointed out that this was on Google Maps. After searching it and looking at it in Street View, I decided I just had to visit…
Yellow Submarine Car
In honor of The Beatles finally being on iTunes, I bring you this Yellow Submarine car. (Okay, guys. I really just wanted an excuse to post this photo that I took at Artscape last year).
Dawkins and Tyson at Howard U
Here are photos and videos of the Richard Dawkins/Neil deGrasse events I attended on September 28. I was waiting until the video was released before I posted about this, so here you go (Videos and descriptions from http://richarddawkins.net): The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science ( http://richarddawkins.net ) presents: “The Poetry of Science: Discussions…
Photos from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear
Here are some photos from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. I think the best sign I saw (not pictured) was a guy carrying one that read, “Gay Muslim: I Will Blow You”. I saw this dragon roll around moments after I walked out of the Archives-Navy Metro stop. A few minutes later, I…
Star Wars Pez Dispensers
I was at an afterparty (I’ve decided that afterparty is one word) following the Madonna/Britney Spears/Lady Gaga dance party last night. The house was cool and had a window sill lined with an impressive collection of Star Wars Pez dispensers. My camera wasn’t wide enough to capture them all. There were a few more that…
Madonna/Britney Spears/Lady Gaga Dance Party
Last night. Madonna/Britney Spears/Lady Gaga dance party at the Ottobar. Dancing. Alcohol. Bows. Robots. Glitter makeup. Lace. Coke cans as hair rollers you wear in public. Jumping up on stage to dance to a song you love while lip syncing the words you don’t fully know to the crowd. See you guys at the one…
Photos: Sam Harris in DC
Here are some photos I took from a presentation Tuesday night in DC by Sam Harris. He was speaking about his new book, The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values. These two photos were taken by @brucefp:
Virgin Mobile Freefest 2010 and Chromeo
This past Saturday, I attended the Virgin Mobile Freefest 2010 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. Based on my personal experience, it seems like it was much better-organized and planned than last year – or that they at least learned from what happened last year – so I give them kudos. Of course, just…
I feel weird without a front page
My site doesn’t have a front page anymore. I feel odd. Why? Because when I first read articles about web design in the 90s, and later took courses about it in college, it was embedded into my head that you had to have a front page/welcome page. I was taught that to not have one…
