I got bored so I shoved a camera in the wife’s face!

I had to get the hell out of the house for a bit so I took a short drive with a camera pointed at my face.

I made an unnecessarily epic video of my son Levi’s first pandemic era haircut from home but a completely unqualified parental figure (e.g. Mom.) For anyone curious, I shot the thing on my old iPhone 6S Plus and edited it in Premiere Pro.

Well, I guess I’ve been officially bitten by the “I’m going to collect vintage computers for no reason” bug after buying a Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 a couple of weeks ago. I’d hoped that purchase would have cleansed me of this pending addiction, but alas it only served to energize it. Now I must have all the vintage computers ever created by man or beast!! I just got my hands on my second vintage computer and this one has a special place in my heart, because it was the first computer I ever owned. I’m referring to the mighty Commodore Vic-20 endorsed by none other than Captain Frickin’ Kirk! I received my original Commodore Vic-20 as a Christmas present when I was around 8 or 9 years old. My 8 or 9 year old mind whirred with excitement when I ripped

It’s the last thing I ever expected to be, and probably won’t be again anytime soon, but here’s what happened… My buddy and screenplay writing partner Patrick Byrd is a professional photographer. He’s most recently been contracted by Roxor Eyewear to produce lifestyle photographs…basically, photos of people doing interesting things while wearing Roxor sunglasses, which are optimized for outdoor and sporting activities. So Patrick hired a few pro models for the gig and clicked off a few hundred shots. Roxor loved the images, but said for the next shoot – a water themed shoot – they wanted someone who looked more like a regular guy than a model. Patrick showed them a clip of some on-camera work I’d done for FramesDirect.com and they thou

Twitter is a hellscape of people hell bent on making the worst parts of humanity – which are fewer than Twitter users would have you think – the only parts that ever get discussed or highlighted. Twitter is nothing but a derby race of people on thoroughbred high horses lobbing barely clever snipes and witless holier-than-thou comments at one another for sport. It’s a fan club for those who idolize outrage. You don’t like Trump? Sure, I get it. You do like Trump? Guess what, I get that, too. But is there anything…anything at all…more interesting to you beyond your political tastes? If not, then you’re a problem for society. You are not an “activist”. You are not “making a difference”. You are wasting your valuable time on th

This was originally published in an issue of the Austin-American Statesman newspaper’s XL Ent entertainment magazine on April 22, 1999! ##### In my opinion, 90 percent of the people who get hit by trains every year deserve to get hit by trains. I simply cannot conceive of any justifiable reason for someone to be hit by a train (unless, of course, you’ve just upset the Don of your specific Mafia by losing 200 pounds of Persian white heroin in a game of craps with a well-trained Great Dane on a nationally syndicated variety show like “The Wink Hendershot Monkeys Spinning Plates on Tall Poles to Lawrence Welk Hour”). But it seems that people are always getting run over by trains. Just take a look at these numbers: 4, 2, 31, 9. About every two weeks or so, you’ll turn

The first of allegedly three debates between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden went down last night with all the class, grace and decorum of an all-clown orgy in a Walmart. I figured I’d share my thoughts on it because there are no thoughts more valuable in politics than those of a random blogger on the internet. THOUGHT NUMBER ONE My first thought of the evening was definitely “oh boy!” because I expected this debate to be an absolute hoot. Between Trump’s smug and unwarranted sense of self importance and Biden’s supposed cognitive decline to be in full display for over an hour and a half, I thought for sure the only thing that could possibly go wrong was absolutely everything. I couldn’t wait for the ride! THOUGHT NUMBER TWO Wait a m

Despite the mass suffering COVID-19 has inflicted upon the United States, one good thing it has done is proven that, like America’s Greatest Generation before us who selflessly sacrificed everything to ensure a mostly Nazi-free future without evil and tyranny, so too can our generation step up to overcome a great challenge by bitching about wearing masks, watching a lot of Netflix, and increasing our intake of delivered preprepared meals. The sacrifices we have all made should be applauded and I think we all deserve, from a safe distance and with the aid of very long poles with gloves taped to the ends, pats on the back. Which reminds me, check back soon to get a great deal a quality Back Patting Pole!* However, thanks to the miracle of modern science, the COVID scourge will soon be
