Good Grief!

Fergies: Becky and Blankbaby
Everyone was at Fergies on Saturday, along with Strolling Luna and her creepy x-ray camera.
True, I wouldn’t mind losing that holiday weight, but I was thinking more like a few inches off the hips. Though I suppose that being transparent has its advantages (such as the ability to render the great […]

Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer contained a story about three advertising agencies that were asked to bring Benjamin Franklin into the 21st century. The first effort, by Gyro Worldwide Advertising, is a sad attempt to highlight Franklin’s “bad-boy side:”

After walking South from City Hall, cold and without drink, some familiar faces […]

Last week was the office Christmas party and another round of holiday videos created by my super-secret coworkers. Terry’s contribution is now online: Searching for Santa is a short film about a scheming holiday party committee and some university scientists who tag Santa for research purposes.

As part of its annual holiday party, my department screens employee-created, holiday-themed multimedia presentations. I am excited to announce that Super Secret Coworker Dan has posted You Better Watch Out, a classic presentation from years past. This (very) short film features a menacing Santa Claus chasing three friends through the bleak streets […]

Good Grief, did someone take my Jesus flogging photo and turn it into an animated gif?
Last year I posted The Life of Jesus in Christmas Lights, photos from a truly bizarre neighborhood holiday light display. Every year some folks in Blue Springs, MO use the medium of lights to tell the Christmas story. […]

Last week, the Humus Reform Committee* appeared on this site, accusing me of taking bribes from Bobbi in exchange for promoting her most excellent hummus.
