My Facebook has been surprisingly lit up this week with (in addition to the usual idiotic partisan politics) people posting articles about how to pleasure a woman. I’m pretty sure most of my friends know where the clitoris is and know how to be pretty creative in bed. So I am a bit baffled by […]
So you all know Forrest Black and I are about to come out with a hardcover book of our deathrock photography. The book was funded via Kickstarter and we included a California Deathrock T-shirt as one of the possible rewards. Here is a mockup of what the California Deathrock T-shirts will look like.

Today, Slashdot asked the question: Ask Slashdot: What’s the Most Depressing Sci-fi You’ve Ever Read? For me, it was The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury brilliantly presented how the banality of evil could be exhibited wherever mankind ended up. The minor mundane awfulness of humans, even in what should have been fascinating circumstances, […]
I first came across comedian Russell Brand when he was hosting a music awards show, probably something for MTV.
