One of the benefits of being mauled financially by the IRS is it gives you tons of opportunities to do free things, like read books. And I'm on a tear this last month. My most recent conquest, the planet Earth. Well, at least, Earth as explained by the staff of...
I've become a steady follower of 350.org, and when they absorbed local 1Sky into their network, I was sad to see a voice get absorbed into a larger body but excited nonetheless for 1Sky to get some much-deserved love from the climate community. Anywho ... last weekend was PowerShift conference...
It's Earth Day, which means your favorite eco-preferred person (that would be me) is going to share some links and videos on things we can do to help protect this mortal coil we call home. First up, a cool animated short about water. Oh, and it's narrated by Kristen Bell,...
A clip from one of my favorite journalism movies, Broadcast News. Great cast (Albert Brooks and the always fantastic Holly Hunter) and is a poignant satire of an industry I once wanted to be a member of. Then I went to college and saw what a joke TV news was,...
Now this is some writing I can get behind. I found Chuck Klosterman through listening to the BS Report. Simmons had him on several years ago to talk about sports and pop culture and I latched onto him quickly as someone I'd love to have a conversation with about just...
My most recent column, where I reviewed MLB 11: The Show, MLB 2K11 and The 3rd Birthday. Hat tip to the Seattle Times for publishing.

I enjoy Bill Maher's weekly show, and while I don't always catch every episode, I follow along with the show and catch clips here and there and watch the interviews if there are particularly interesting people I want to hear from or political events that I want to hear his...
How this guy has not shattered every ligament in his knees astounds me. I bet Kelly could do this, though. He's wicked flexible.
Here is my most recent column, where I reviewed a slew of Nintendo 3DS games: Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Nintendogs + Cats and Steel Diver. Thanks to the Seattle Times for publishing.
Tonight I'm getting in the Delorean and going back in time to hear one of my favorite bands of my youth. Back in grade school I really got into Toad the Wet Sprocket. Like most people, I first heard them through their song All I Want, which was OK, but...
Among the long list of movies that I will gladly turn on and watch at any time, I have been pleasantly addicted to Away We Go for several years. The wife and I saw it and between the humor, the sadness and and all that's in between delivered by some...
