Some End of Year Updates
Yikes. Sometimes time pulls away from you. That’s normal, I guess. You get busy, bogged down, tied up in things, and a few days slip by before you can even realize it. But sometimes, it’s a few months. I feel like I hopped in a DeLorean or fast-forwarded through the last 90 days or so [...]
Why I Love the Internet: The Tale of Qwikster
There are some things that are so Internet that you can’t even begin to describe them. I’m sorry not to have a better word for the bizarre organic phenomena that occur across this vast network of tubes, but I’m sure someone smarter than me will come up with one and make a billion dollars while [...]

Prior Incantato: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Part 1

On Humor and Finding Community
One of my recent obsessions the last couple of months has been the show Community, Dan Harmon’s meta-comedy that pokes fun at sitcoms and practically every other genre that has graced our TV sets. I recently borrowed Season 1 of the show on DVD, and somehow I fell down the rabbit hole of listening to [...]
The Harry Potter Re-Read

For many of us aspiring Gryffindors and Aurors, Potterdom will never [...]
