Noisy Neighbour Update (or I’ll Blow Your House Down)

I’ll make this one short and sweet because I know you’ve got better things to do this weekend than reading my blog. I’ve been a little busy to this week what with being Freshly Pressed and all. (Humblebrag) So, now

No Autographs Please (or Sign on the Bottom Line)

(Photo credit: Wikipedia) It has long been a staple of fandom: that scrawl of ink across a piece of paper that announces to the world that you met, er… what’s his name. You know, he was in that thing with

Geeks, Nerds And The Men Who Love Them (or Dealing With Nerd Shaming)

Every once in a while, within any given community, someone will do something incredibly stupid. And we will laugh at them and call them names. It makes us feel better, at least for a little while, until the next idiot

Wil Wheaton Blew Up My Twitter Account (or That’s Show Business)

So, I just wanted to immortalize this on the blog before it disappeared forever from the twittersphere. Friday morning, on a whim, I threw together a quick caption from a behind-the-scenes photo of Wil Wheaton and his wife Anne on

Death To Emoticons (or Put On A Happy Face)

I have never used an emoticon and I never will. Back in the days of green screen monitors and five-and-a-half inch floppy disks, someone figured out that a colon, a dash, and a parenthesis looked a little like a happy

There’s a Spammer Born Every Minute (or You’re Not Fooling Me)

I was feeling lazy today, so I’m going to let spammers write my post for me. Here’s some of the nice things numbered gmail accounts are saying about me [presented verbatim, with my comments in red]. This is a comment

Halloween Is Not Happy For Everyone (or Just Hand Over The Candy)

[Today features a guest post by Thomas Cat. Take it away Tom.] First off, I’d like to thank Sean for letting me hijack the blog for a day. Normally, I mind my own business, unless it involves fish-flavoured food or a

Children Should Be Seen And Not Herd (or Feeding Time At The Zoo)

I can’t even get a date, so I’m the last person in the world to give parenting advice. I probably know more about nuclear physics than I do kids. What I do know is they are often loud and usually

One Sigma Certainty (or Don’t Be That Guy)

If you get it, it’s awesome. So, you’ve probably heard of the ninety-nine per cent and the one percent, but have you ever heard of the 68.2689492%. I didn’t think so. Now, before you run away screaming, thinking I’m going
