Absurd and Nerdy

June 21, 2016 Howard Tayler

It started with a discussion of logic gates, and the futile attempt to map the seven gates onto the seven deadly sins. Sloth was invoked. At some point we (Otter, Ubersoft, and Will) began to wonder whether logic gates could be mapped onto animals.

The output of that was this picture of a baby hippoxnortamus.

Baby-HippoXNORtamus

“Hippoxnortamus” is fun to say.

  • Terminator: Dark Fate November 13, 2019
    Hey! I finally got back out and saw a movie! Nothing screams “I am not a real movie reviewer” quite like me not seeing movies. But some of you seem to like knowing what I think about the latest cinematic releases, and I’ve been letting you down. There just hasn’t been time. There wasn’t time […]
  • Discovery CONTACT: See Myke & Friends Hunt Aliens August 30, 2019
    My friend Myke Cole is on TV again, this time on the Discovery Channel’s CONTACT, in which he, Mike Livingston, Sarah Cruddas, Nick Karnaze, Kawa Mawlayee, and Paul Beban, go hunting for answers to the question “have extraterrestrials made contact with humankind?” This show is a LOT of fun. I did some fan art after episode […]
  • Ready or Not August 21, 2019
    I saw the trailer for Ready or Not while watching Zombie Tidal Wave over on SyFy this weekend, and my verdict is that this made Zombie Tidal Wave worth it. My ticket alone probably doesn’t cover the ad spend for the studio, but it’s a start. Thank you for thinking of me! Ready or Not is a […]
  • The Angry Birds Movie 2 August 16, 2019
    You may recall my surprise when I loved The Angry Birds Movie, and enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Captain America: Civil War. That’s a pretty high bar to clear, especially for a sequel, but The Angry Birds Movie 2 takes a really good run at it, and, at least in places, out-performs the first film […]
  • Hobbs & Shaw August 8, 2019
    The F³ (Fast and Furious Franchise) is now the FFCU (Fast and Furious Cinematic Universe) and I’m just fine with that. Hobbs & Shaw crosses my Threshold of Awesome, and if you can accept that it’s just a sans-a-cape superhero film, I suspect you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.  My Suspenders of Disbelief […]

  • 14.48: How to Practice Worldbuilding December 1, 2019
    Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary Robinette, Dan, and Howard The entire year has been about learning how to worldbuild, and we’ve learned a thing or two ourselves while preparing material for you.
