FORGETTING In which the author Googles “Dysnomia,” and then, later, Googles “Dysnomia.” - Note to self: Write a witty description for this. The music for this piece is a de-mix of David Bowie's Space Oddity, available as separate tracks on Amazon, which I think is pretty rad. (4:45) <!-- Last Update: 11/05/2009 -->

ART TALK: TYPOGRAPHY In which your host takes you on a magical journey of lame graphic designer jokes. - Have you ever wondered why people like me cringe when you show off your lousy inkjet-printed party invitation? The answer is TYPOGRAPHY! Learn to Kern! Become the Sherriff of Serifs! Behold the... uh, phallics of Italics. Maybe? Errr... ANYWAY, give it a listen. This segment aired on WHMP (

MY SIDE OF THE STORY In which the author smells an opportunity. - This is a parody of a local story, which means that no one outside of western Massachusetts will understand it, and probably only 20% of people in western Massachusetts will understand it, and probably only 3% of them will hear this segment, and only 1% of them will think it's funny. Oh, well. Trust me, it's SCATHING. This piece

HOUSES and STUFF In which the author peers suspiciously through the curtains and auto-dials the police. - This is little thing I wrote to be used as a radio piece, and also as a 2-page comic. This segment aired on WHMP (western Mass.); original radio show podcast available here. (2:30)

A song I wrote and recorded for Blommit.com, a site where contributors respond to a new topic each week, voted on by readers. This week's topic: Menus. Lots of graphic designer snob jokes. So sad. I wasted a whole day doing this. Jeez. Four standard-def clips equals HD! Whooo! Shot with a Flip Video camera, edited in After Effects, mixed in Audition. The green line down the right side is courtesy

NOT LOOKING DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN In which the author almost loses his jelly. - This is a major rewrite of a short thing I wrote years and years ago. The background music is “The Setup", by the fiercely talented No-Shadow Kick. This segment aired on WHMP (western Mass.); original radio show podcast available here. (4:11)

I THINK YOU SHOULD SHUT UP In which the author accidentally leaves the microphone on while watching YouTube clips of Glenn Beck. - The background music is “Easy Feeling Good Time", which I recorded on a 4-track a long long time ago. This segment aired on WHMP (western Mass.); original radio show podcast available here. (1:49)

THE FIGHTIN' SEEBEES! In which the author stacks boxes, doesn't go anywhere near a submarine, and mispronounces "nuclear" in an unrepentant manner. - The background music is “Oh, What a Lovely War” by The Jolly Old Fellows (1930) and “Down in the U-17” by Billy Murray (1916), two vaguely-relevant songs I found on a very interesting website, FirstWorldWar.com. This segment aired on WHMP (western

TI-99/4A In which the author discusses his old computer and general dorkitude. - Let's talk about BASIC programming and text adventures. The background music is from the TI game Alpiner and a program called Video Graph, which I captured off of the nostalgia-inducing Win994a emulator. And just to give you an idea of how shameless I am about recycling my own old bits, here is TI-themed comic I
