It’s hard not to see or hear people talking about the upcoming Presidential Election everywhere you go. Though it does get a bit annoying, it’s refreshing to not hear people talking about Kardashians or Kate Middleton’s wedding for a change. If you were hoping that...
I enjoy riding a bike. They provide cheap transportation (over short distances), they’re fun to work on and maintain, and they’re pretty good excercise. The problem - especially for me - is that they take up a lot of space. I have a 2009 Specialized Secteur, and ...
You may not know this, but I sometimes make music. I mainly just do it for myself, but sometimes other people seem to enjoy it, too. Before you credit me with any talent or ability, you should know that it's all just electronic beeps and boops (0or as my Mom calls it, "Ding ...
Last week I posted a couple letters I received from some strange company called Univox Corporation (What is Univox Corporation?). Well, I found out that they came from my old friend John. I was the subject of some weird prank trying to get me to go to a random address in Chi...
A while ago, I received this weird letter in the mail. It was from a company called "Univox Corporation," and it seemed to be hand typed. I had no idea what to make of it, but I just came across it in one of my desk drawers, and I thought I would post it here to share in the...
How “crowdsourcing” could save education.
Imagine that you are in your last semester of college. Yes, most of my readers were probably there not terribly long ago, but just bear with me. How do you feel? You probably feel excited or proud. You’re ready...
While dealing with the amoral practices of the utility companies, as we all do once a month, I started thinking, as I do every month, about the existence of evil. We have to live under the yolk of the power company (among other amoral authorities), forced to pay any fees and...
The new DenyConformity.com has been around for almost two weeks, now, and everything is going great. We’ve had a brand new post every single day, and - if I say so myself - each post has been greater than the one before.
The time has come to announce the first first DenyConformity.com Saturday Sweepstakes!...
A DenyConformity.com review.
George Safford Parker is a classic example of the American Dream. In 1888, Parker was fed up with having to constantly repair the fountain pens he sold for the John Holland Pen Company, so he did what anybody back then did - he made his own. I...
The time has finally come to put this thing to a close. You've stuck with me for five months as I've slowly eeked out these pictures I took of my Halloween costume from 2011.
I went as a tree...
Hello, again, and welcome back to the epic story of my 2011 Halloween costume. First, we'll revisit the hat. You remember the paper shogun kap, right?
This ongoing thing sure is taking a long time to finish, but at least it's dumb!
Welcome to the all new, all awesome DenyConformity.com. What you see here is the culmination of over a year of obsessive, hard work. I know content has been a bit lax over the last year, but now I can finally show what I've been working on all this time. Welcome to the future...
I'm always fascinated by technology and engineering. If it has gears, springs, mechanisms, or otherwise intricate little bits, it stands out, to me, as an artifact of human ingenuity. What is most fascinating, some times, about these seldom thought about tools is just how...
Remember this? That's your recap.
I have not forgotten about these pictures! Did you? Remember my Halloween costume from 2011, when I was going as a Tree? No? Remember, I made the whole thing out of paper grocery bags? This really isn't ringing any bells? Well, I don't blame you, it's been like four months...
It's been a while since I've made much ado about a particular exciting time. The timestamp on this post just happens to be 2011-11-11 11:11:11.
Happy eleven day, everybody.
Halloween has come and gone, and I still have a great deal of pictures to post of my sweet costume. I will continue to post them, if just for my own benefit next year when I need inspiration for my "End of the World" costume in 2012 (I just made that up, but it would actuall...
Are you all working hard on your Halloween costumes? The other day, I posted a few pictures showing how I made a sweet tree shogun Kap, and today I'll show you the next step in my Halloween 2011 costume.
I will be going as a tree this year...
Halloween is coming up in a couple weeks, and this year Alyson and I are going to Nashville to a big party a friend of hers is throwing. I decided that I had better get a good costume together, because of how much I hate looking the fool in front of people. For the last few ...
The Internet is a stupid place.
...Tang. I found it. First, before you continue, make sure you've read the following:
The first article, which started this whole fiasco.
The first update, with a not-so successful replacement.
Andrew Monkey. He's almost on his way to Spain...
My friend Andrew Preston Monkey recently brought this to my attention. It seems that perhaps I was wrong about Tang disappearing. This is a curious development.
The quantity goes up to 30. That would be $135, and it would make 180 Quarts or 45 Gallons or one third of a...

Tang Update
I went up to the food mart in town, which specializes mostly in foreign groceries, and I found something very interesting...
A terrible thing has happened to me recently. Those of you who know me well will understand what a blow this is. Kraft foods has repackaged and re-formulated Tang. Yes, everyone's favorite astronaut drink has been changed. It is no longer the tang I used to know and...
I did a quick Google search for that phrase, and found that it is nowhere on the internet. It is now.
Isn't the internet great!!!
Now I just have to get Google to include my page in its database.
