I’m nerdy, no two ways about it: while thinking about the kind of things I would want for Christmas this year, I got to wondering about fictional gadgets and technology that I wouldn’t at all mind having. So, as a perfectly goofy/nerdy/idle/self-amusing blog post, I put together a wish list of sci-fi/fantasy gadgets I’d like… Continue reading Fantasy wish list

I was interviewed about Lost…
Based on what I’ve been writing (ranting) about “Lost” recently, I was contacted via email by a woman doing a feature story about the subject who wanted to interview me (also via email). The twist? It’s a Brazilian television Lost fan site entirely in Portuguese. Globalization, ya gotta love it. It’s cool seeing my name… Continue reading I was interviewed about Lost…
Hack Bend holiday shopping guide
A little cross-pollination: over on Hack Bend I’m going to be posting a Holiday Shopping Guide, and I want to make it collaborative as well as listing my own opinions on where to shop for the holidays. So if you live in Central Oregon and have any recommendations or want a piece of the action,… Continue reading Hack Bend holiday shopping guide
These Santas are so wrong
SouthFlorida.com is running a photo gallery of kids scared of Santa Claus, which is gut-busting funny. (Really! I laughed out loud at a lot of these.) But some of these Santas are so messed up that I had to re-run them here. (But go check out the rest.) Like this one… Or this one: More…… Continue reading These Santas are so wrong
I need this gum.
For real.
What’s shakin’?
Yes, I’m aware I haven’t posted much here on chuggnutt.com lately. I’ve been focusing most of my writing energy on The Brew Site and Hack Bend recently, since I keep thinking of topical things for those blogs and I really don’t want to become a caricature of myself with “Lost” rants. Aside from that, here’s… Continue reading What’s shakin’?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving is a good one. We’re baking pumpkin pies today (made with a gingerbread graham cracker crust) and heading out to my folks’ house for dinner and family. Enjoy the long weekend!
About those people waiting in line for a PS3…
Something I don’t really get about those people (mostly young?) waiting—no, camping—in line for days outside of stores like Best Buy for the PlayStation 3… Do they not have jobs, that they can take the time to spend a week camping out at a store? And if they don’t have jobs, how can they afford… Continue reading About those people waiting in line for a PS3…
Obligatory Lost post
I’m starting to think I’m becoming a parody of myself with these “Lost” posts. I’m also thinking about coining a new phrase: “to pull a Lost.” It should be self-evident what I mean by that, but: to start out strong, have everything going your way… and then blow it. Which seems to be what they’re… Continue reading Obligatory Lost post
The truth about vampires
I realize I’m about a week late blogging this item (should have been around Halloween), but I just can’t resist: Count Dracula not in the numbers, physicist says. A scientist is playing Scully to scientifically disprove the existence of monsters—vampires, zombies, ghosts, and so on. Articles like this make me amused and irritated at the… Continue reading The truth about vampires
