A rough first-take on a basic blues riff. So standard is it to my ears that I am dubbing it “Missionary Blues.” Dammit, GarageBand! I just noticed that huge, bald tail at the end of the song. Just please ignore that, listening audience.
Don’t say that word. What? Phenotypic? Yeah. Just don’t. Do you even know what it means? [blank stare] It’s the physical expression of one’s genotypic traits. Don’t say that either. Don’t talk like that. Okay, I won’t, if you promise to not use that ebonic tribe-speak you’re so fond of. I don’t even do that! [...]

I’m no snob. I’m no elitist. Still, I just launched phase 1 of a dating site for people with above-average intelligence. As I mention on the site, there is a correlation between the IQs of married couples. Plus, from my own personal experience, I know that I have to be able to relate to someone [...]
When Computers Mimic Us, We Love What We Hear Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome – Women are given an insight into the condition of teen boys. Wikpedia knows seduction Artists get screwed with their take on digital downloads – just ask Weird Al History of Lithium as an Antidepressant – like Serotonin, a circuitous and convoluted [...]
It’s late and I need to finish a project. What’s this? My roomate didn’t drink all of the coffee in the pot. I’ll put some ice cubes in the cup and it’ll be a nice iced-coffee… {glugglugglug} What the fuck? Weird stuff in my mouth? Spit it the fuck out! I spit whatever it was [...]
