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…

Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar 9.24.10
This past Friday, I saw Atari Teenage Riot at Sonar. I was really excited. I saw them almost 13 years ago at the 930 Club in DC (yes, I have been attending concerts since I was young), and thought they were awesome. But part of me wondered, as an adult, if my perception of their…
Richard Dawkins and Neil deGrasse Tyson tomorrow in DC

The Secular Students at Howard University invite you to these two special events: The Poetry of Science: Discussions of the Beauty of Science Tuesday, September…
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…

My Funeral

President Obama Says Happy Lunar New Year
This is pretty cool. For the record, I don’t literally believe in any type of zodiac or in using a lunar calendar. It’s a cultural thing. It’s sort of the same way many non-religious friends of mine still celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, and other December holidays. I’ve noticed that Obama has made a conscious effort to…
