A Farewell Ahoy — Thanks For Everything,...
It isn’t easy to feel sad when you’re standing in front of a 14-foot ape who’s wearing a polo shirt, a backwards baseball cap, and, for reasons only its designer could explain — no pants. And yet, there I was.
Actually, “sad” would be an understatement. I was downright gloomy. Even the pants-less (and apparently genderless) simian giant wasn’t doing...

Check out Google’s tribute to Mark Twain. Awesome.
Incidentally, I hold Mark Twain personally responsible for my untimely elimination in Mrs. Smith’s 4th Grade Spelling Bee. I’d been engrossed in Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn at the time, and was thrilled when the word I was asked to spell was, “Reckon”.
Aha! A trick question that would surely have eliminated my less...

I’m a little hesitant to write this post, because I worry the outpouring of emotion around Steve Jobs’ departure as Apple’s CEO might result in a strange sort of one-upsmanship, to the point that these personal anecdotes take on a saccharine quality. Then again, it’s fucking Steve Jobs. I’m sad. One of my more anti-social traditions in college was to lock myself...

WatchI just won Father’s Day.
If you’ve been following my Twitter stream you may have noticed that I’ve been blessing NYC with my presence more than usual lately. I’ve even purchased tickets to a midnight screening of Harry Potter at a theatre in Union Square. WHAT COULD IT MEAN?! Some of you are slow, so I’ll spell it out: I’m moving to New York City. Or at least, I’ve gotten a three-month sublet in East Village, which I’ll...

WatchLast week I caught a professional Yo-Yo tournament. This week, and 2,500 miles away, it’s time for some hardcore jump rope.
WatchWas walking down the street and stumbled across one of the top Yo-Yo competitions in the country. Amazing.
Also reminded me of this, which is one of my favorite pranks ever.
WatchOMG/JK is now (finally) shooting in HD, which means we look slightly less like public access! Now to do something about the funky blue-bubble backdrop.

Man Boobs
To the mind of a twelve year-old boy, man boobs are the most terrifying things in world, save for, perhaps, testicular torsion (which is exactly what it sounds like). The clinical term for the former condition is gynecomastia, and I am happy to say that I am not afflicted by it. However, despite my fortunate lack of infertile breasts, man boobs have actually done me quite a disservice over the...
