NPH is going to be playing Hedwig on Broadway, and I need to go and see that. If you’re unfamiliar with “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” it’s the love story only made possible by a back alley castration in East Berlin before the fall of the wall. Seriously.
And America’s Best Christian, Betty Bowers is back:
That’s it for now, see, really short! Have a great one!
On “Gun Appreciation Day,” which, by the way, is horrid that it coincides with the MLK weekend, three different incidents of people being shot at gun shows. But just be careful, the organization le pushing for this “appreciation day” are white supremicists.
A good piece on gun ownership, and how it scares me (I mean the author). And in case you’re wondering about assault weapons, check out Australia.
Deadspin wins the Internet on how to react to Donald Trump. And gifs come in.
GOProud, the LGBT Republican organization has finally come out to support marriage equality. You should reread that. January 18, 2013. They just not think that marriage equality is worth fighting for. Anyway, GOProud is a laughable group, trying to trick people into thinking the GOP actually cares about citizens. And now they’re outraged that they’ve become the laughing stock of the Internet.
Hey all, quick update for everyone before I head back to my novel (left than 9K to go!)
First up, my friend Patrick put together an awesome video around DC:
Sooooooo, this is strange. And what happens when there isn’t a separation of Church and State. Also, it’s kind of ridiculous the CoE still won’t allow women bishops. As we’ve said before, the penis is not a direct link to Jesus.
NPH has an awesome new show coming to Nerdist:
And if you’ve watched Crash Course World History (or even if you didn’t), here’s their second blooper reel:
And this is just asshatery at it’s finest. Much like the owner of Papa John’s saying that if Obama is reelected he’ll have to raise pizza prices for his customers.
Angry Birds Star Wars is coming, and I’m excited. Cautious, but excited:
PTSD is absolutely vicious, and the VA at best sometimes, seems incompetent. Will this work, I’m not sure, but I hope it can at least bring some conversation to the table at the condition and how we can work together to support our veterans.
Quick update for everyone, hopefully I’ll be back with more soon. First up, get ready for Bowtie Tuesdays, returning in September! So for now, learn how to tie a bowtie with Bill Nye:
Apartment Therapy goes over how to disguise video games on a book shelf. Seems like a lot of work, but I guess if you’re going for a certain look, go for it.
Yes, children should do their chores regardless, but I like this:
A hotel in England has replaced the Bibles in the rooms with…50 Shades of Grey. An ingenious marketing stunt, I do have to say.
And Brandon Sanderson announced that he finished the final book (book 14) of The Wheel of Time. There are still edits to do, but those will mostly be done by others. It’s a great series, although I got distracted while in book 9, so I’ll be going back to get caught up. I’m not sure what the status is of the rumored prequels and off shoots (three prequels and two off shoot trilogies), but I’m not really holding my breath. Here’s the cover, and aside from “The Fires of Heaven,” it’s probably my favorite title in the series:
That’s it for now, but I’ll hopefully be back soon!
I’m not sure if this is somehow connected to the book about the Subway system, but there is an indy documentary about the font “Helvetica.” I need to find a way to see this!
Lifehacker has a good article about how to protect you stuff. I especially like the idea of setting up a fake porn folder with your contact and reward information on a flash drive. Genius! And here is their article about free apps, check it out.
Hardcore Gaming, which is a strangely very static, web 1.0 type of site, ran an article a while back about Myst. Check it out if you’re interested, and haven’t heard enough about it from me before.
Here’s a cool video about what if Mozilla made a cell phone:
