Television is curious. I’m not sure I like it very much. Our assignment for Human Classes was to watch several hours of it each night and make notes on what we found. There are certainly many shows, a wide variety for all kinds of tastes, but the purpose of them is devoid of conclusion. Why …
As it turns out, frangipanis grow quite well in Australia. Gardening expert Leroy James answers this query about frangipanis from our dear reader Dorothy. Dorothy wrote in (by snail mail! We get so little of it these days, so it is lovely to see that the art of letter writing is not lost in this …
The trick to a really perfect story is to pick something that not many people are talking about…but something that’s on the edge of what people are talking about. What’s really hot right now? Moving underwater, of course, and the giant societal shift that’ll come when half the population or more is moving under the …
We’ve got some MAJOR problems in the office. In short, Annabelle is getting really friendly with Vince and I think she’s way too good for him. I’m Derek Price, the office stud. There’s like… no way she’d want to go out with some dragon-obsessed loser and not me, Derek Price, certified stud. But somehow, they’ve …

Some people think it’s weird that I shelve my hobby for six months of the year, and most of those people are hypocrites. They act surprised when I tell them that my passion for tea is put on hold during the warmer months so I can focus on colder things. Uh… so you like hiking …
In general, I’m as up for embracing flash-in-the-pan office design trends as much as the next person. Like, if my workplace wants to have a ball pit in the breakout space, I’m here for that. But there’s one trend I can’t quite seem to get my head around, and that’s the so-called comfortable workspace. You …
Dang, this vehicle is seriously falling apart. Maybe it’s all the racing to work? No…that’s just a bit of fun on my daily commute, fun that involves the occasionally running from the law. But I’m a child of the 90s, so it’s fine. I learned from cartoon ‘Pretty Car Dealer Sailor Hoon’ that getting involved …
Did you know that window tinting can reduce 99% of UV rays? Isn’t that outrageous? Why not 100%, for crying out loud? Good grief, the solution to this is so obvious. You get a bunch of evil scientists who’ve had their schemes foiled, you stick them all in one big room, and then boom. Profit. …
Finally, I have found the balance! V-Type Exo Series-A is my greatest creation yet, a masterpiece of robotic engineering that can act even more human than humans themselves, and comes pre-programmed with a personality module that makes it the perfect balance between conciliatory and authoritarian.
