Chernobyl’s Radioactive Wolves
What happens to nature after a nuclear accident? And how does wildlife deal with the world it inherits after human inhabitants have fled? The historic nuclear accident at Chernobyl happened on this day 27 years ago.
In 2011, on the 25th anniversary, filmmakers and scientists set out to document the lives of the packs of wolves and other wildlife thriving in the “dead zone” that still surrounds the remains of the reactor. Nature’s Radioactive Wolves examines the state of wildlife populations in Chernobyl’s exclusion zone, an area that, to this day, remains too radioactive for human habitation.

We wanted to do something cool for DFTBA Records’ VidCon sponsorship this year. In the past, we’d sponsored the lanyards and the open mic room. This year, we’re providing every attendee with their very own awesome mini-Sharpie attached to their badge. This DFTBA Sharpie is provided so you can write your own name on your badge (in the past some attendees had suggested they be allowed to personalize their badges with channel names instead of legal names, etc).
And given our artists’ reputations for signing their posters, CDs, or just drawing on their face with Sharpies (see: #sharpie face) this seemed like a perfect fit.
So yeah, I designed these and they’re in the manufacturing process now, and I hope everyone going to VidCon loves their DFTBA mini-Sharpie!
YES ALAN GOOD THING
Ahh so excited to get one of these.
At first I thought this was a chainsaw. I was disappointed.

apologetic notes for the socially inept
Sometimes I want to apologize for not being able to talk to people like a normal human being. So I made these.

Went and saw Jurassic Park 3D this weekend (I have never seen it in theaters and it was a blast)
Thought of how different the movie could seem from another perspective.
wait is this not the plot of the movie??

The Problem With The Big Bang Theory…
I’ve been meaning to post something about The Big Bang Theory for a while now but it’s taken me ‘till now to really understand what it is about the show that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not exactly a believer in the whole “only write about the things you like, don’t trash the things you don’t” trend which seems to be plaguing comments sections in negative articles lately, but I wanted to be able to really examine why I don’t like TBBT rather than just slagging it off. My main questions being - Why don’t I like this anymore? Why do I feel uncomfortable watching it? And why do I get so annoyed when I see people sing its praises online? The thing which really sparked this post was seeing a raft of comments on Facebook, below the last round of voting in Television Without Pity’s Tubey Awards, claiming The Big Bang Theory to be “the best comedy on TV”. This made me angry so instead of posting an impulsive comment calling out their bad taste which I’d probably regret later, I decided to really analyse why seeing comments like that made me so mad when previously, although I didn’t really love the show, I’d never considered myself as disliking The Big Bang Theory.
Hell, I even have season one on dvd, it’s sitting right between Battlestar Galactica and Bored To Death in my alphabetised collection.
And here, I think, is where my problem with The Big Bang Theory lies…
I haven’t watched much of either show, but this is an interesting read anyways.
