VACATION HIATUS

2009-08-08T14:47:00.000-07:00

There will be a short pause in the publishing of new episodes while I am away from my editing bay for the summer. Rest assured- I am putting new episodes in the can. Expect a deluge shortly.

VACATION SUPPLEMENT: Tidal Strain

2009-07-15T22:40:00.000-07:00

Man, being on summer vacation is great. However, regardless of that fact, it looks like my brain won't let me stop breaking eggs of knowledge all over you. Enjoy.

On to some juicy tidbits from the Attic Greek dramatic tradition:

Episode 14: Speakers

2009-06-08T19:41:00.001-07:00

One of the unanticipated advantages to living next to a bunch of latino lowrider greasemonkeys is the easy access to manipulatives on the curb.

The fun continues with tales of food safety:

Episode 13: Lacan

2009-06-01T15:06:00.001-07:00

Jacques-Marie-Emile Lacan was an influential French psychoanalyst a couple generations back. In today's video I experimented with non-linear video editing, which somehow manages to be extremely inspiring as well as incredibly frustrating.

This episode continues with fulgurite:

Episode 12: Insomnia

2009-05-28T16:17:00.000-07:00

I have the opposite of insomnia, where I fall asleep in meetings or dark enclosed spaces. It's a blessing, really.

Episode 11: Terraforming

2009-05-25T07:01:00.000-07:00

Jo Balme asked me what the current state of terraforming technology is. *SPOILER ALERT* - it's all pretty theoretical. We couldn't terraform a ping-pong ball at the moment.

Episode 10: Immortality

2009-05-21T21:28:00.000-07:00

As you know, eventually there can and will be only one. Immortality isn't for everyone. However, we all secretly understand that all of existence requires our conscious minds observing it to make it real. As soon as we die, the universe collapses (as far as we know) - thus we are all functionally immortal.

Well, whatever, immortality is a pretty heavy rap to lay on a cat anyway. Let's mix it up some:

Episode 9: Stars

2009-05-18T20:41:00.001-07:00

Coincidentally, my friend Heather taught this same lesson today to actual children. I don't think she got nearly as geeky about it as I do.

Episode 8: "The Secret"

2009-05-14T18:27:00.000-07:00

Justin Noble wants to know about the concept of "the secret", so I bumblingly oblige him.

In the second part of this episode, I feature a special musical guest and, apparently, some video editing.

Oh; here's the profile pic I mention in the lightning round:

Episode 7: Gatorade

2009-05-11T21:10:00.000-07:00

As a former Division I NCAA 4-year starting varsity athlete, I can tell you that gatorade tastes terrible.

I've been involved in development programs for several types of new sports drinks in the last few years. One idea involved carbonated goat blood. We were going to call it "GoatQuench" and market it to hippies.

Then there was "Sports Drink," my proposed line of alcoholic sports beverages. These were for people who want to dull the pain while simultaneously sharpening their reflexes. I was going to pursue an aggressive packaging strategy- "Whiskey Chug", "Vodka Blast", "Rum Runner", "Gin Rush", etc. Each flavor had an animated mascot, which raced other mascots to photo finishes while shnockered out of their gourd.

Episode 6: Anxiety

2009-05-09T09:07:00.000-07:00

I have received a lot of questions about anxiety. It's Saturday morning, so that means I answered them.

Episode 5: Vision

2009-05-06T19:08:00.000-07:00

After showering in the dark, I enlighten you on the mysteries of human vision. During the taping of this episode, I experienced a constant temptation to stop so I could eat sandwiches. However, the need to inform you won out in the end. I just hope it was worth delaying my gustatory satisfaction.

Episode 4: Fetishes

2009-05-05T19:54:00.000-07:00

Two of my fans separately requested to learn more on the topic of fetishes. It occurs to me that people don't think nearly hard enough about what makes them horny. Horniness is weird!

Episode 3: The Wild West

2009-05-01T21:02:00.000-07:00

Someone wants to know about the Wild West. Also, it is friday so that means blue jeans. I can't believe I did three of these things this week.

Episode 2: Hunting

2009-04-30T13:49:00.000-07:00

Laura Jacqmin wants to know about hunting. I oblige her.

The episode continues here with the Lightning Round:

Episode 1: Kurt Weill

2009-04-30T13:31:00.000-07:00

You probably don't know nearly enough about Kurt Weill.
