I went 15 weeks between Humanoids columns between the last column and the one previous to that. So if you’re surprised that I’m back one week later with a new Humanoids column, it’s completely understandable. In fact, I’m surprised that I came up with enough crap to write to warrant posting this. But here we are but we’re not throwing out +1s in this edition. Then again, when do I ever. Continue reading

How To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse (Infographic)
If there’s one thing that I have as a pet cause, it’s preparation for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. This isn’t my obsession with a pop culture fad. After all, I don’t think that we have much to fear from sparkling vampires. But our continuous efforts to live longer will backfire in a catastrophic way. That’s why today’s infographic is so important. It’s all about how to survive the zombie apocalypse. Continue reading

God help us all. Continue reading

The Humanoids: New and Improved Flavour
With the return of summer, I figured that July was a good time for the return of The Humanoids column. I’ve been trying to figure out what’s been missing from the blog and I’m selfishly thinking that my rants are part of it. Well, I’ve decided to revive The Humanoids with a new format. The format is more question-based than topic-based so I can go on a few more tangents than I used to. Will this new format actually get some traction? The only way to find out is to hit the jump.
