Just for you here are two, possibly three, new pages of Keeley: Comic Hero Extraordinaire! I had page 14 up a few months ago but didn’t publicize it because it’s only a one page transitory scene. The following two pages up the challenge to my drawing skills a bit with… Read more“Come On, Come Out”
I can’t sleep right now because earlier today I made a kinda-important scientific discovery and now the race is on to get it published. Does that make me a geek?
Urbana-Champaign and Back Again
Two weeks ago Anna had her graduation party in Urbana-Champaign. Just three short years ago she started at the University of Illinois‘s law school and soon she’ll be on the gilded road to endless riches. I’m clearly on the wrong career path. Anyway, I had a mini solo roadtrip adventure… Read more“Urbana-Champaign and Back Again”
From Zero to Awesome in 3.5 Minutes
After X-Men: Evolution, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about yet another X-Men cartoon, but there were a few glimmers of hope. Stephen Jay “Spike-Guy” Blum was reprising his role as Wolverine (he’s Wolverine in videogames), and Kari “Fuu-Girl” Wahlgren was, of all people, Emma Frost. Then they released this trailer: Hooooooly… Read more“From Zero to Awesome in 3.5 Minutes”
68,000 BC
CNN had a headline that caught my attention: “Humans nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago, study says.” Now that’s news! The gist of the Associated Press article it uses can be summed up by two quotes: Paleontologist Meave Leakey, a Genographic adviser, asked, “Who would have thought that as recently… Read more“68,000 BC”
Spring Cleaning Around the Home(page)
One of this weekend’s goals was to clean up around the house. I vacuumed the downstairs area and wiped down the fixtures in my bathroom but then I got distracted and started working on my website. It’s tangentially related I guess. I fixed some of the alignments so things look… Read more“Spring Cleaning Around the Home(page)”
Declassified Story from Work and Other Notes
I was in the breakroom and saw that someone had left some Diet Pepsis up for grabs. I desperately needed the caffeine so I took one. It tasted awful! Thinking quick, I grabbed a packet of sugar from the coffee bar and poured its contents into my soda. “Success!” I… Read more“Declassified Story from Work and Other Notes”
I Can Haz Productive Role in Society?
It’s now confirmed that I won’t be going to Peru this summer. It looks really good for next summer though; the universities involved seem enthused but we just couldn’t get the logistics set in stone in time. In the meantime I evaluated what I was doing day to day. The… Read more“I Can Haz Productive Role in Society?”
Here’s a Stupid Idea: Earth Hour
I usually don’t take a stand in this blog for professional reasons but I’ll make an exception for Earth Hour. Who’s stupid idea is this?* Change doesn’t happen by suggesting people do something different for an hour.** You fix the world through improving education, and following that by having world-minded… Read more“Here’s a Stupid Idea: Earth Hour”
Financial Tip of the Week: Don’t Get Caught
So… it looks like the person at MU responsible for the weekly financial tips newsletter/blog has resigned after being accused of stealing money from the university. I for one am outraged. Outraged that he got caught before he perfected his technique and gave the students tips on how to do… Read more“Financial Tip of the Week: Don’t Get Caught”
