It’s that time of year, folks. There’s a chill in the air, W2 forms are in the mail, and despite New Year’s Resolutions to the contrary, we’re back on the couch, watching American Idol.

Apocalypse of Doom, part 3
January 14, 2009 By
There’s going to be some major looting when civilization collapses and people begin to realize that they’re not, in fact, going to find out who the finalists are for the next American Idol. Things are that bad.[Continue Reading…]
Apocalypse of Doom, part 2
January 14, 2009 By
The first thing I did when I made my list was put it in Frank’s hands. Frank and I have discussed apocalypse scenarios before, and I knew he’d take me seriously unlike some of my other friends (“have u just lost your mind???”). Naturally, I was wrong.[Continue Reading…]

Making a list and checking it twice
My interest in the coming apocalypse has inspired the creation of a survival list.

Please note that the RSS feed has changed. You may subscribe to it at the top of this page. The raw feed is:

Test of the emergency post system
January 12, 2009 By
This is a test of the emergency post system. This is only a test. If this were an actual emergency we’d be running for our goddamned lives instead of farting around on the web.
