Holy crap. Kate and I have become utterly addicted to this show. Far and away, the best drama on TV right now, it manages to do sci-fi the way it should be done. Timely social commentary and great suspense, and killer robots. Start with the mini-series. Spaced

"The Body, The Blood, The Machine" This is music for punk rock agnostics. If you find yourself suspicious of organized religion, pissed at American foreign policy, and you love to pogo, check it out. Plus, they've got the most rockin' song ever written about Lot's wife. Kate O'Leary.com

Drawings
I've been drawing and sketching since I was little, but over the past few months, I haven't been able to crack my sketchbook open as much as I'd like. Nevertheless, I hope that by putting up a separate section on my site, I'll be more motivated to populate it with work. I'm also working on a Flash cartoon series, and you will be able some of the sketches from that here soon. At the moment though, you can find a couple of recent sketches. Expect more soon.
