Random Reviews- Intro

Random Reviews

I'm a huge fan of the website ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com, and, with that in mind I though I might try my hand at some reviews of anything I think deserves a good thrashing, or something I think was underrated and deserves showcasing, or sometimes just stuff I remember watching or reading a long time ago that I want to give a second look.
I think I'll just stick with text reviews for now, but if I get some free time to learn video editing and actually film a review (I have a day job and a couple of obligations on my off time) I might get to it.
In the meantime however, stick around and I'll start by reviewing a comic- JLA: Island of Dr. Moreau. Yes, really, that's a thing.

Stupid Beliefs- Intro

Stupid Things That Stupid People Believe

We live in an age of science and reason. We've conquered ignorance in almost all it's forms, and every day we push the frontiers of human understanding as we look out into the stars, and deep into the structure of subatomic particles. They found the Higgs Boson this year, and a few months ago, there were hints that scientists at CERN may be on the way to isolating and cracking the mystery of dark matter.
I consider myself a reasonable person and a man of science, even if I'm not one of the visionaries pushing the boundaries, I take a keen interest both as an engineer and a student of the universe. So when I see people holding the obviously false as fact, it causes me actual physical pain.
So I'm going to use this little corner of the internet as my own personal soapbox to mock people clinging to ancient superstitions, pseudoscience, and phony religions invented in the last hundred years or so.
We'll be starting with the easiest target I can find, the Flat Earth Society.

Welcome to my Blog

Welcome to my Blog

I've had a couple of blogs over the years. They were up for about three years and amassed a grand total of nine comments between them. I forgot about them, then I deleted them in disgust (along with all my fanfiction) a while ago and now I've decided to give it another try.
 
For this one I've decided to just spew out every random thought that comes to my head and see what happens. I've got some ideas for regular posts so let's see what we can dredge up from my brain and hope for the best.
