Ladies and gents, the evil genius Jake of all Trades has done it again. Unveiling his plans for total world domination, he has contrived a monsterfully masterful marvel of infernal engineering. This latest creation of his has been aptly dubbed the Damnation (in honor of the new PS3 game of...
For a few months now, Microsoft and Asus have been running a FUD campaign against Linux. It’s not a big campaign by any measure, but just enough to be annoying (in much the same way that a yapping chihuahua is annoying). Ironically, until now Asus has been a big supporter...
Starting today, you may notice a somewhat new look-and-feel for the Mythania web site. I have abandoned the cumbersome content management system (not to be named) and completely redesigned the site with my own custom PHP code, javascript, and xhtml. It should also look a bit cleaner and more modern...
It’s ArcAttack! I love these guys (saw them at DragonCon 08, and wow, that was an electrifying experience to say the least). They use Tesla coils to create music, ‘nuf said. Here is a fantastic video by ArcAttack of a Tesla Coil playing the “Imperial March” Star Wars song —...
Well, this is big news in the Realm of Geekdom. It’s also news in human rights. On March 17th, the cast and crew of “Battlestar Galactica” spoke at the United Nations’ Economic and Social Council Chamber.

I’ve just posted up detailed information on the various currencies and measurement systems in the fantasy world of Mythania. Being that Mythania is not Earth, it certainly stands to reason that their currencies and measuring systems will not be the same as ours (although they are admittedly very similar). As...
I have struggled for some time with the conundrum of capitalization as it concerns the names of fantasy races. As a reader, I never paid the matter much thought; as a writer, the issue never seems to stop troubling me. If you are an avid fantasy reader, you may have...
For about a year now, the factory radio and 6-disc CD player in my car has slowly been dying. So on January 10th I finally bit the bullet and purchased a replacement system — an in-dash car MP3 player which I have been wanting, but which was never very high...
Apparently someone has put together a series of talk shows with Cthulhu (yes, the Great Sleepy Old One himself), “Calls for Cthulhu”. These shorts are utterly hysterical, especially if you are familiar with the Cthulhu mythos (and perhaps also pretty funny if you are evently slightly familar with the subject)....
