More leg-sleeve tattoo work

I met up with Neal (website coming soon, kthnxgbye) this past Sunday for a couple hours of ink. Now that the outline is completed, the exciting work has begun. I cannot wait to see it finished. It gets better and better with each session. Oh, and yes, them were some sensitive areas. Tweet

Hey, CONN, thanks for keeping me up to date!

I’ll be the first to admit it. I am not the most organized person in the world, but I do my best. But hey, it’s the age of technology, right? So, if I need to find something out, I should be able to navigate my way to my son’s school’s website and find what I [...]

Burning a .toast file on Windows XP

I’ll keep this short and sweet. I have been looking to do this for days, and unfortunately most of the information available on the Interweb did not solve my problem. I have tried MagicISO and  WinISO, which are all very similar programs, but they were of no luck to me. I was finally able to [...]

Review: The Happiest Days of Our Lives

I just finished reading The Happiest Days of Our Lives, by Wil Wheaton. It’s a short book, which works out well for me. My attention span has gone to shit over the years, and just trying to squeeze time in for reading is hard. The book is a compilation of stories from Wil’s earlier years. [...]

How the tongue was split

I have had a ton of queries on how we did the actual tongue splitting. Rather than constantly repeat myself, I thought I would make a short post about it. For those of you that don’t know, I have had my tongue pierced since the early 90′s, and had successfully stretched the piercing to an [...]

This saddens me.

  2nd-Grader Suspended for Drawing of Gun DENNIS TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A second-grader’s drawing of a stick figure shooting a gun earned him a one-day school suspension. Kyle Walker, 7, was suspended last week for violating Dennis Township Primary School’s zero-tolerance policy on guns, the boy’s mother, Shirley McDevitt, told The Press of Atlantic City. [...]
