Hello! I’m Jason, a geek dad from Durham, NC. This blog was conceived as the mutant offshoot of the Random Signal podcast, and it is the exclusive home of the RS Droidcast. I like weird movies, interesting animals, comic books, science fiction, paleontology, and lots of other awesome stuff. I also like cephalopods, so much so that I have a whole other blog just for them! Visit Indie Squid Kid for a Kraken-sized dose of tentacly goodness. If I made you a mix tape, you could expect to hear the likes of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, The Flaming Lips, The Mountain Goats, Talking Heads, Pixies, The Pogues, The Clash, T.Rex, David Bowie, Jonathan Coulton, They Might Be Giants, Guided By Voices, The Magnetic Fields, Guitar Wolf, and The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.Tumblr (3.0; @randomsignal)http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1r9csZiNq1qgi5hao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/post/20495199265http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/post/20495199265Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:02:32 -0400Doctor WhoTom BakerDaleks<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1kl0fdJOh1rsbccro1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tonystarkmakesyoufeel.tumblr.com/post/20389711285/please-read-grumble-me-a-bedtime-story">tonystarkmakesyoufeel</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>please <strike>read</strike> grumble me a bedtime story</p> </blockquote>http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/post/20464516892http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/post/20464516892Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:04:11 -0400Tom Waits<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m10j1eiSxH1rs0nhko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://bigredrobot.tumblr.com/post/20393877341/tom-waits-for-no-man-via-shmemson">bigredrobot</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Tom Waits for no man.</p> <p>Via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://shmemson.tumblr.com/post/19928440015/tommy-waits">shmemson</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/post/20463039897http://randomsignal.tumblr.com/post/20463039897Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:05:48 -0400Tom Waits<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1vvj1dkQY1rsjj68o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://shmemson.tumblr.com/post/20394683712/could-i-get-a-digital-photo-frame-and-hang-this">shmemson</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Could I get a digital photo frame and hang this gif on my wall?
