Going commando

I’ve been riding to work lately.  I decided to take advantage of the fact that for the first time in ages I’m working within a practical biking distance from home.  As I’m grossly unfit that translates as about two suburbs or a half hour ride.  So I’ve been riding in when weather permits.  By “weather permits” [...]

666- The nature of evil

Believe it or not, I’ve just posted my 666th video to YouTube.  Being a metal fan from way back, I decided to do a Judas Priest tribute!

Finding a benefactor

I find myself feeling an odd sense of waywardness lately.  I have my day job but I hardly love what I’m doing.  I’m also in no rush to give it up because it pays well and I don’t find the work particularly hard.  Then there’s the bloggy/video maing thing which I do love but pays [...]

Shut the fuck up!

Here’s a little bit of fun.  At the suggestion of one of my YouTube commenters, I spliced together multiple grabs of me saying/shouting “shut the fuck up” from my recent run of videos telling various people to STFU.  I think it works rather well.
Straight after making it, I thought it was the perfect thing to [...]

Why I love elitists

There are many things about the debasement of the political process in the USA and public discourse generally that make me angry.  Not least is the practice developed and refined by the Republicans (and eagerly embraced by the Democrats) that the constant repetition of a lie makes it true.  This manifests in many ways, from [...]

Get together in Melbourne July 26th

I have no idea how many people who read this blog are actually in or around Melbourne.  For anyone who is (or can be on July 26th) a few local YouTubers are having a get together in Federation Square starting at noon.
We’ve had these small get togethers before and we’re trying to encourage more people [...]

Mr Angry and the Scientologists

I wasn’t going to touch Scientology again for a while because I don’t like to run themes into the ground but some of the comments that appeared on YouTube prompted me to follow up with a story I’d been considering sharing for a while.  There were two main types of comments that prompted me to [...]

Ghost Office Part II – The Exit

A couple of weeks ago I decided to amuse myself during my lunch hour by shooting a short film in an empty office building during my lunch hour.  It was more popular than I expected and many people asked for a sequel which I really wasn’t expecting.  Apparently people wanted to know how I got [...]

Injured in the line of duty

I’ve spent today deep in hypochondria.  Every little muscle twinge and pain in my body has made me think I’m suffering some serious injury as a result of a little mishap on the tram yesterday.  One of our public transport choices in Melbourne is a rather extensive tram network.  The trams have a certain charm [...]

Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult

I’ve been planning a bit of an anti-scientology rant ever since I read about a kid getting charged by the cops in England for holding a banner that had the slogan I used for the title of this post.  This article suggests a pretty disturbing scenario with the cops involved possibly owing more alliegence to [...]
