LOOK AROUND YOU.
Look around you.
Just look around you.
What do you see?
If the answer you give is “The best damn geeky television comedy/parody thing I’ve ever seen”, then you are probably watching Look Around You.
Otherwise, tune in at 10:40 PM Thursday evenings to BBC America. This is required. In the short term, watch some clips on the website.
Look Around You is, by far, the British import comedy I laughed over the most this year. If you have any percentage of geek in your body – especially science geek – you will adore this show. Don’t miss it, honestly.

I’ve had a bit of blogblock over the past week or so, and I’ve been demotivated to get some necessary database work done on VJ Army and Pop’n Navy. I apologize to the faithful readers and users, I will attempt to rectify both sides of this problem over the coming days.
But complicating this is the fact that 24 hours ago, I was informed I need to go to New Orleans next week for an Sakai Project conference; now I sit here with a Jet Blue itinerary and a W Hotel confirmation and it hasn’t really hit me yet that I’m actually going to New Orleans for three days next week.
I will have barely any time away from the conference but I’ll attempt to at least bolster my Flickr account with some photos and quirky anecdotes. I should, of course, also have the trusty Sidekick on – as the great philospher Calvin Broadus has been heard to remark, “Everybody needs a Sidekick.” So I shall remain in touch, in tune, and hopefully on time.
More details as they become available.

Brendon Small Says Something Funny
Hatred and fear are the root of all comedy—maybe. Hatred. The core of all humor. Look deep within the bowels of any knock-knock joke and you’ll find white-knuckled fists pounding angrily at the door, only to ruin the self-esteem and mind-fuck the answerer. And we (as a country) must never let the knocker in. Why? Because he’s there to kill you. Every knock-knock joke, when magnified, is a recipe for murder. Think about it, shitheads: a strange person who you could never recognize, spinning lies—he’s the devil and he wants your soul. Because he’s going to eat it. For dinner. And you’re invited to the dinner, too. That you’re the food for. The main course for.
