CONvergence PowerPoint Karaoke Favorites
Since our now-yearly CONvergence audience is by far our largest and geekiest, the CVG PowerPoint Karaoke show last week was jam-packed with slides too nerdy for general audiences. Bill and I went a bit into overdrive. For those of you who weren’t there (or even those who were and are …
Slaying the Debt Monster
Folks who’ve known me for a few years know that my life went through upheaval in 2009. My relationship of seven years ended; my home went into foreclosure (and I eventually lost it); my already bad debt problem went into overdrive as my finances plunged into the abyss with my …
Quotable CONvergence
My friends are immensely quotable. Here is a collection of the bits and pieces of dialogue I gathered during CONvergence. I’ve attributed the quotes where possible; if I haven’t, it’s because I’ve genuinely forgotten who said it, and I apologize. “The booty is mine! You cannot have it!” “I am …
CONvergence Highlights
Tim Wick made a lovely list of random CONvergence highlights over on his blog, and it sounded like a lovely idea. This is me, totally stealing that idea. WEDNESDAY I spent the 4th of July drinking massive amounts of gin and vodka (not in the same glass) in a Burnsville …

Killer B’s and Funny Ladies
Around seven or eight years ago, Jerry Belich and I founded Killer B’s Improv Movie Show. For those of you who don’t attend CONvergence or shows at HUGE Theater, Killer B’s is something like a hybrid between Mystery Science Theater 3000, J-Men Forever, and Comedy Sportz. I find clips of oddball film …
New Podcast: Geeks Without God
At CONvergence this past weekend, I was proud to be the featured guest on the very first episode of Geeks Without God, a comedy/geek/atheism podcast created by Tim Wick, Molly Glover, and Nick Glover. Among other things, I was asked to bitch about Prometheus, which I happily obliged. Check out the episode here! (Warning: TONS …
CONvergence PowerPoint Karaoke
I have already posted at length about CONvergence, and what I’ll be doing there. Since I’ll be doing that until sometime next week (when I will hopefully emerge from the smoking wreckage, ready for more projects), I thought you might enjoy some PowerPoint Karaoke clips from our very first show, …
