Lord of the Flies
Russell | November 22, 2009
A thousand times a day, I have a reason to hate autism. When he’s bouncing on the trampoline, laughter peeling from his small frame, and the laughter turns to shrieks in between bounces for no apparent reason; I hate autism. When I try taking him into a store, and he starts pounding his head with [...]

The World is Going to Hell in a Hand-basket!
runwolf13 | November 17, 2009
I posted recently on the combination of Twitter and 24/7 news adding to the feeling of desperation in the world. A wise commenter posted that it isn’t that the world is getting worse, we’re just hearing about it all the time. I couldn’t agree more. And I have an example to prove the point.

While I encourage you to go read the story for yourself, the gist of the story is pretty straight forward. It seems Alabama [...]
Mythbusters Geekdom

I have to admit, I’m a Mythbusters geek. I absolutely adore the show. But I adore busting myths myself. Myths are the result of sloppy thinking, something akin to superstitions, and I can’t abide it. Oh, I’m guilty of it, but it makes me angry when I do.
I could give you a list of my [...]

Twitter and Desperation Don’t Mix
runwolf13 | November 13, 2009
I’m a geek, but I’ve never claimed to be a genius. I have plenty of friends who rank up there, but I’m not one of them. One of the smarter of the bunch (not counting my fellow geeks here at Geek Palaver, of course) is my blogging friend Sarah Lena of the blog, The Anvil [...]
