I didn’t want to talk about immigration…
The legality of their citizenship is ultimately irrelevant. We can devise any number of laws to make people criminals (just look at the population of our prison system thanks to the war on drugs). But our laws have no bearing on why they are here. Most of the people coming across our borders illegally don’t…

Atheism isn’t a thing.
We need to stop using the term “atheism” because it refers to something that does not exist.

Year of the Geek
Thanks to Jeremy Snead’s documentary about video games, Weird Al’s invasion of the Internet, and the resurrection of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, this is turning out to be the year of the geek.

Welcome to Sneadbuster
My friend, filmmaker, and funnyman Jeremy Snead gives us a quick tour of his shrine to the bygone era of video rentals where people had to travel to specific places to pick up physical copies of films in order to enjoy them.

Rosie is sweet.
This is our Moluccan cockatoo, Rosie. She’s a little camera shy, but I was able to capture a little bit of a conversation. What you may not realize from this short video is that she often understands what’s being said. She doesn’t just parrot back what we say because we’ve never trained her to say…

March to Stand with Texas Women
I left the Texas state capitol building last night heading back to my car, and I was stopped by an entourage of state troopers. I wondered why until I heard a distant sound that grew steadily louder. The media were wrong when they said only a few hundred people attended the rally in Austin. This…

Fun with Refraction
The sun was setting and passing through a glass prism on my door, and a tiny crystal apple just happened to be sitting nearby. Fun with physics!

Creepy Wind Storm in the Middle of Nowhere
This was taken in the middle of the country during a relatively powerful sand storm. I was driving to my hometown and got caught in the middle of nowhere because the wind around me was just creepy as hell.

Texas DPS officers harass and then arrest innocent man
I have been able to identify the man who was arrested in this video and the officers involved. He was unfairly arrested by a concentrated abuse of power, and I almost went to jail for recording this incident. First, some background… I was at the Texas Tech versus University of Texas game giving away megaphones…

I’m not used to parking large vehicles.
I parked my dad’s brand new truck yesterday, and came within an inch of a metal pole.

Storm across the Field
The music is José González’s version of “Teardrop” by Massive Attack. The video is nature’s version of a massive storm attacking the field in front of me. It’s mostly dark, but there are moments of brilliant lightning. This was filmed on an iPad, so it’s not as high quality as it should be. But hopefully,…

Annular Eclipse: May 20, 2012
An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the Moon.

Adorably Annoying Singing Toy Dog
This thing was so adorable and annoying that I had to share it with the whole world. You won’t be able to get the song out of your head.

Thunderstorm from High Rise Building
This is just one minute of a relaxing storm that rolled into Dallas, Texas for the evening. I wish it’d never ended.

Massive Hail Storm in Levelland, Texas
This was a sudden and *massive* hail storm that hit west Texas on March 19, 2011. This video was taken in Levelland, Texas. I picked up a piece of hail to give you an idea of the size of hail hitting everything around us.

Cat Hunting Noise
This is my cat, Spot, making an unusual sound. I can only guess it’s some sort of hunting sound, but I can’t imagine why it would be advantageous to announce your presence to potential prey.

Rosie’s Curiosity
I tried to get Rosie to say something, but she was just confused by the black thing I was holding in my hand.
