Prior to that, I created BiggerBetterBeards.org (which is a bit ironic considering that I lack a beard)

In my ongoing effort to make Mingle2 the weirdest, most unconventional dating site on the planet, I've constructed a quiz that tests your knowledge of various sex positions.

Thanks to Taloan for writing this blog entry, although she doesn't strike me as particularly mutant-like :)
I never dated in high school. I went to my senior prom with a foreign exchange student named Barbora. I like to say it was because I am a mutant. According to everyone else its because I’m too damned picky. I’ll concede that...

A little over two years ago I decided I wanted to lose some weight. I wasn't morbidly obese or anything but I had the figure of a typical computer guy: skinny arms accompanied by a lower half that was unusually fatter than my upper body (picture Tyrannosaurus Rex with love handles).

Being single definitely has its advantages. There's more freedom, less responsibility, and no one to keep tabs on you. Conversely, there are some things I absolutely hate about being single.

The mind of a web developer is a vastly complex organ; it's riddled with anguish, elation, caffeine, and a gargantuan mound of crap to remember. I figured this warranted a bit of creativity so I whipped up this diagram of a web developer's brain.

I've compiled a list of what I consider to be the ten worst movies to see on a first date. These aren't necessarily bad movies, they're just movies that could ruin the mood or scare the hell out of your potential partner.
10. Apocalypse Now (Redux)
