Solemn Oath’s Hidden Hand: Inside Chicago’s Secret Experimental Beer Brand

What is The Emptiness Machine about? I think it's about social media.

Linkin Park's new single "The Emptiness Machine" is about social media. At least, it is to me.

I’ve listened to Linkin Park’s new single The Emptiness Machine at least 50 times since it was released yesterday. It speaks to MY SOUL and I have strong feelings about what it means to me. I’ve been a Linkin Park fan for more than 20 years. I vividly remember listening to Hybrid Theory in my graphic design class my junior year of high school. I learned how layers work in Photoshop while…

Tribune Tower, behind the scenes (or, in this case, walls). It's always interesting to see what happens when you feel away the layers... #history #architecture #Chicago #tribunetower #layers https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgwzVZl_P_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qu8eeh8moddb

10 Worst Episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series

I didn’t watch every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series with my wife just so I could write a bunch of lists about it. We watched the show for fun. We’d watch an episode to decompress and relax after a stressful day dealing with work or healthcare or family or whatever.

We found that this was not always a good idea.

There’s bad television, and then there’s awful television. Unwatchable…

10 Most Entertaining Episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series

This, our first list, will be the most banal list, but will still serve as an exceptional point of entry into the show in the event that you haven’t watched it and need to know what’s worth seeing.

I just watched every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, and there’s a lot to say

About 9 months ago, my wife and I started watching Star Trek on Netflix. As in, the ORIGINAL Star Trek. The Kirk and Spock one. Known as “TOS” for “The Original Series,” at least among circles of people who spend their time defining acronyms to help them more clearly talk about TV shows, this show is in the cultural fabric of America. Kirk and Spock are two of the most iconic characters in…

Oh, right… I should probably introduce myself

Hey! Long time, no update, right? Well, I have a pretty compelling reason to post here… because a few weeks ago, I launched the Curiosity Podcast. And it’s kind of a big deal. Here’s a preview of what the series sounds like: https://rss.art19.com/episodes/61d3609b-24f6-45de-b0d7-cf99485fb1d7.mp3   So, I’ve been really busy with that, and a lot of people are listening to it. Which is why I figured…
