The Chicken Dance – Dr Who Style

Jun 24, 2010 by

I’m a geek, pure and simple. I work online, I love science fiction, I’m a huge fan of technology and I watch Dr. Who.

Purely by chance this afternoon I stumbled across this extremely silly video and felt the undeniable urge to share it with all of my fellow geeks here in Cincinnati. The Doctor Who Chicken Dance.  It works on another level as well: the Doctor has a fine tradition of broadcast and fans here in the Queen City. Just check out this archived article from Cincinnati Magazine back in 1987- The Magnetic Dr.Who.

I know it ends with Happy Easter, oh well. It’s still a hugely amusing piece of work. So, without further ado, The Doctor Who Chicken Dance

This one goes out to Yottaquest Fantasy Gaming, The Southwestern Ohio Gathering of Gamers, CincyCon, Sci-Fi City, The Sci-FiCincinnati Book Club, and all of my other fellow geeks in the Queen City!

Beyond Petroleum?

Jun 16, 2010 by

I’ve been trying to write this post for two weeks now. Every time I begin I am consumed with a powerful rage that distorts my ability to communicate in a civilized fashion. Hardly what one would expect from me after close to five years of “Katrina Blogging.” Still, there it is.

Every single day my email box and Facebook accounts overflow with reports from the Gulf. First hand perspective from friends, former neighbors, fellow bloggers and engineers. None of it is good. It’s easy to sit up here and be horrified, but it’s a little bit worse for my social circle back home where it truly and honestly is a matter of breathing petrochemical fumes.

So to be honest I just don’t have it in me right now. I watch another man made disaster, another engineering failure, destroying the area my family has called home for nearly 300 years and I become completely inarticulate.  So, being a native New Orleanian long before I became a Northsider I’m going to respond the way I am culturally programmed to: with satire. Very appropriate in an era when Jon Stewart is one of the most trusted newsmen out there. So here is a laugh that will make you cry. It’s all I can muster as I watch the slow motion tragedy unfold across the Gulf.
