There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
Yesterday, I talked about a crowdfunded short film that I kicked in some money to support. This was not the only project that I’ve contributed to, but it is the first one to be completed that I’ve been able to anticipate the release. (Read: I didn’t forget about it after I gave them money.) They […]
Read More Crowdfunding is CoolI love Oscar Wilde. On a trip to Paris while I was in college, a professor would only let me turn in my paper in her Aesthetes & Decadents class if I brought back a picture of Wilde’s tombstone.

Photons have long been described as massless particles which don’t interact with each other — shine two laser beams at each other, he said, and they […]

I am just making my way around the world this month! This is family tradition for us. My mother’s family is from Greece, near Sparta. (Yeah, we’re totally awesome like that.) Greek food is comfort […]
Read More Greek Festival! And Now A Food Coma….Today I discovered PeaceOneDay.org, an organization dedicated to spreading peace throughout the world. Tomorrow is Peace One Day 2013. Pretty good timing, right? I almost missed it! Last year 4% of the world’s population was aware of Peace One Day…that is 280 million people in 198 countries.
