With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.Look, if you don’t want to see an astronaut, in space, floating around, with the voice of an angel, singing Space Oddity, you’re probably an orc or something.
Wow. Just wow.
When I was a tadpole my nickname used to be “Ben Bolt.” I was not a bad kid, but I was certainly a handful. Mischievous. My mother would take me to Target and as soon as the automatic doors gave me entry into this land of retail madness… I would bolt.
To me, it was a game. What better place to play hide and seek? Fortunately for my mom I always picked the same hiding place. I would find a nice clothing rack and shimmy behind the garments. She would call out my name and search the racks until she saw two tiny feet sticking out of the bottom.
I’m not really sure how my mom put up with my antics. I would have driven myself crazy. But her love for me never wavered. She always made sure I had everything I needed. She was always there for me. At the age of 14 when I told her I decided to be a comedian, she was unflinchingly supportive. And at the age of 18 when I was at college and I knew my body was starting to fail me, she welcomed me back home without hesitation. She is my biggest fan and the best mom I could have ever hoped for.
I love you, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day.
Thank you, FrogMom, for raising such an awesome son who gives so many of us endless entertainment!.. Happy Mother’s Day!
That time at Comic Con 2010 when you’re sat in Ballroom 20 and Wil Wheaton brings The Barenaked Ladies onto stage to singalong The Big Bang Theory theme.
Sorry for the shaky camera, I was VERY EXCITED!

Here is an old song of mine. It is a sort of rock/funk instrumental. Sorry, no singing. It is a bit self indulgent and repetitive, but I think you can still twerk to it. I play all bass and guitar parts.
To answer about 12 messages in my inbox… Yes, I do play guitar. And I make weird faces while doing so.
Go, Froggie!!

I’ve been seeing a lot of pictures like this lately. Overweight people sitting down in restaurants or perhaps someone out and about on a mobility scooter. I find it very frustrating. First, taking a picture of someone without their consent is dubious. And then putting it on the internet to be mocked is just mean.
Yes, it is possible this person is just lazy. But it is also possible that they have a myriad of medical conditions. You have no idea, Sometimes my fatigue is so bad that if I am standing and I don’t sit down immediately, I will collapse. I could seriously injure myself otherwise. My father has arthritis in every joint in his body. Every step he takes brings with it a lot of pain. Just standing can be torturous. And if he needs to sit down to be relieved of that pain, he should not be mocked for it. And people with mobility scooters might have a very good reason to need them. In fact, these people could be overweight mostly because they have poor health.
The truth is, you don’t know. So maybe you should stop being jerks and leave these people alone.
This. So much this. Thank you for putting it into words for the rest of us.
