Ever wake up with a really stupid idea and you can't move on until you make it exist? (Art made with copy-pasting from stolen art, with minor unskilled Photoshop manipulation.) If anyone with actual skill wants to make a good version of this, feel free. 🙂

The reason I do music in my spare time is that nobody ever makes fan art of software development managers. Visual gloriousness courtesy of Chuck!

Hi! I'm gonna appear on this thing on Monday at 9pm central time (which is 10pm here in reality.) Tune in and see if I manage to screw up the sound setup in my new studio/office or if I just screw up the lyrics and/or keytaring! www.virtualcomedyshow.com

Hi! This is happening tonight at 8pm eastern time! I'll be joining around 9! I don't own that mask anymore and I haven't unpacked the cape and I weigh over 120 pounds less than I did in this picture, so EVERYONE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED! YAAAAAAAY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5x2...

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL! After a decade-long absence, I will finally be returning to MarsCon, along with Devo Spice, Steve Goodie, Nuclear Bubble Wrap, the great Luke Ski, Insane Ian, and *deep breath* 2025 guest of honor KING MISSILE.

This is going to be so freakin' awesome.

Here's a photo of me as a baby, chilling in my baby desk mount while my Grandfather smokes a cigarette right next to my head - and right in front of a picture of Smokey the Bear.

The seventies certainly did happen.

Unpacking a box of decorations and uncovered one of the dumbest things I own...a clearly-officially-authorized book of Spider-Person stickers, interspersed with stickers featuring JUST THE LOGO from "Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life." I love this so hard.

Ok. Wow. Ok. Ok. Dr. Demento plays SEVEN songs from the new Worm Quartet album "Carpe Tedium" on this week's show. My mind is well and truly blown. Thanks to the good Dr. for his support!!! You can stream the show here: drdemento.com/online.html

New Mr. Do! High score - I finally broke 600,000 (pay no attention to the Pac-Man whatnot on my MAME cabinet, I assure you Pac-Man has no scoreboard and I'm not that good at Pac-Man. I am, however, quite decent at Mr. Do.)
