- Nov 07, 2020
Comic-Con is interesting because there's so much going on at once, it's literally impossible to do everything. You need clones and some sort of hoverboard so you can surf over the crowd of packed-in nerds.

Steve Martin said that philosophy is good for comedy because it screws up your thinking just enough, and I agree with that. Being forced to see life's metadata is good training for looking for interesting angles on a topic.

- Mistake
- |

The lifeblood of YouTube is sharing.
- Say
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Computers
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Comedy has sort of been my life-long obsession. I literally obsessed over comedy. I really didn't play sports - for me it was just comedy, computers and chess club; those were my big things.
- Hang
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When comedians get successful, the fans that they have aren't the fans they would hang out with. I don't have that problem.

Comedy club audiences pay up to $25 per person and another fistful of cash to cover a two-drink minimum, so when they don't like something, they let you know - with silence.
- Point Of View
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The goal of almost every comic is to find a comedy voice - a specific point of view that an audience can latch onto.
- Father
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My father was one of the greatest professional bowlers of all time. Seriously. Billy Hardwick: PBA Hall of Fame, Player of the Year in '63 and '69, and the first winner of the triple crown of bowling, among other things.
- Computerized
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While the liberal media elite depict the bowler as a chubby guy with a comb-over and polyester pants, the reality is that bowling is one of the most tech-heavy sports today. Robotic pinsetters and computerized scoring were just the beginning.
- Bump
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What's more unnerving than magnetism, ghosts, and unpurified water? Gadgetmongers who purport to protect us from metaphysical monsters that go bump in the New Age night.
- Discipline

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I learned not to confuse 'busy' with 'productive,' but I'm still far too addicted to email to resist its early-morning digital snuggles.

Freelancers are 'free' because they take risks - they don't like being told what to do. That's both exciting and daunting, because you have to police you.
- Grandfather
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Like lycanthropy, the nerd gene can skip a generation. My maternal grandfather was a technophile.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Videogames make you feel like you're actually doing something. Your brain processes the tiered game achievements as real-life achievements. Every time you get to the next level, hot jets of reward chemical coat your brain in a lathery foam, and it seems like you're actually accomplishing stuff.
- Living
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Comment threads are the new therapy for people. They just go and post the worst things they can think of because they feel bad, and then other people start attacking them, and then they attack back.
