Sometimes you feel like a nut. (Including the edible kind.) Hazelnuts in the shell are like nature's marbles. Made for dropping. What would happen if a thousand of them were dropped in one spot? How would the biome react? Once the question ...
What artifact to counterfeit, I thought to myself. Something that could plausibly be found around here. A piece of local history. Obscure enough that its value would not be immediately obvious, and therefore its existence (or discovery) outside of...
Anyone who's seen an old penny or the Statue of Liberty is familiar with what happens to copper as it ages. It changes colors. This is the result of copper reacting with stuff in the air to form what's called "verdigris", one of a handful of beauti...
To launch myself on this task, I googled "random noun generator" and pushed the button until I got a word that made sense in the phrase "______ drink". The first such word: murder. At first I tried to picture a drink that would make you want to mur...

I have had an unpregnancy. I decided to get a vasectomy (we have two kids, we don't want more, and my insurance covers it). I knew I needed to document because your player never misses a connection, though it went differently than I anticipated at ...
About three months ago I decided to buy a bike. I bought it new, very certain of what I wanted. It wouldn't have to go very fast, just be comfortable for my twice daily trips between the Outer Sunset and Portrero Hill. And have a luggage rack beca...
There is not nearly enough information in our public parks. Otherwise why would people be so callous as to carve into trees? As a form of protest I wanted to carve "Bark protects the "cambrian" layer which a tree needs to transport water and nutrie...
I asked Loki (whom I had not formerly met but whose picture I admired) if I could paint their portrait. I wanted to try my hand at ASCII art. The result was purposefully simplistic, I originally wrote it in this box to see if I could. But in the...
