Wine bars. Dive bars. Sports bars. Hipster bars. Cocktail bars. Night clubs. Dance clubs. Music venues. Nostalgia bars. Piano bars. Speakeasies. Irish pubs. Brewpubs. Gastropubs. Gay bars. Biker bars. Etc. These days, there are a fairly bewildering assortment of choices when it comes to finding a place to imbibe alcohol. I haven't even exhausted Read more [...] 
As I write this, Tropical Storm Florence (née Hurricane) is creeping westward across South Carolina. In a few hours, she will break up into a "tropical depression", because wind speeds will drop below the apparently meaningful level of 39 mph. At which point she will creep up the spine of the Appalachian Mountains all the way up into New England, 
My favorite part about watching so-called "prestige" television is the conversation that it engenders. Not just in terms of the social media response (and all the jokes, memes, hypotheses, and tasseographies that are so integral to that response), but also the experience of catching up with friends the next day to talk about what you liked and 
Welcome to the third installment of our weekly monthly whenever-we-feel-like-ly podcat, the Pong Pod! This is actually part ONE of an extra-special two-part podcat, since we talked for so long you might have thought we were playing water pong.
In case you missed our first two episodes, you can listen to them on SoundCloud: in Episode 1, Live 
In his seminal book, The Philosophy of Horror, or Paradoxes of the Heart, Noël Carroll examines the aesthetics of the horror genre, in an attempt to understand why we seem to find it so viscerally appealing.

Last month, I wrote a blogcat detailing the basic logic behind a computer-simulated pong game, and how we can use this logic to calculate Wins Above Replacement (WAR) for a given team. This time, I will present the results for this analysis, as performed on the data gathered during NogFest 2015. Before you read this, you should probably make sure
