My good buddy Ben was the first to step up to the donation plate. Boston-bound himself, my putt putt rival found it in his heart to sponsor an old pal heading out on the road. I look forward to toasting him, and perhaps sharing a personal story of our friendship in a...

Sponsor Synthetic Division’s Mocha Habit
A lot of bands have far worse habits than mine, such as drugs, booze, loose women/men and spandex. But for Synthetic Division, the thing that fuels us are iced mochas. (Well, Josh prefers a hot drink, but he is forgiven.) With the tour coming up soon, I'm trying to...

The Last American Virgin (1982)
So I was browsing Netflix, and thought of an old movie I saw as a kid, The Last American Virgin. Even though my parents weren't too tight with enforcing the R-rating, I doubt I saw this one in the theater in 1982 since I was 7 when it came out. I'm thinking I watched...

It was a hotly contested Labtest Contest. The votes poured in from all over the cyberverse... but in the end there could only be one T-Cell Champion... and that man's name is Justin Starkenburg. His name is added to a list of incredible champions, but now only he sits...
