MadMup's Webcams

A Dubious Achievement

2009-10-13T22:39:00.001-04:00

After not quite 3 years on Twitter, I hit 10,000 tweets. That's a whole lot of nothing.

Objects In Mirror

2009-07-23T22:13:00.001-04:00

Objects in mirror are crazier than they look.

Honkus

2008-10-17T16:23:00.002-04:00

This is my main character in Rock Band. His full name is "Honkus Pants," and he bears a striking resemblance to me.

EGS

2008-05-13T22:24:00.001-04:00

This is a real implementation of the Emergency Glaring System.

Due Monthly

2008-04-17T05:45:00.000-04:00

Because there's no day like today to update one's webcam.

In Theaters Now

2008-02-07T05:53:00.000-05:00

This one is for no particular reason.

Beardface

2007-12-18T05:29:00.000-05:00

This one goes out to my fellow Scrubs fans.

Yin-Yang

2007-07-26T08:31:00.000-04:00

Two sides to every story, right?

Quack

2007-06-21T06:28:00.000-04:00

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, it's probably a MadMup.

Suburban Camouflage

2007-05-04T23:58:00.000-04:00

It's important to blend in with your environment, especially when on a mission as important as mine.

The Return Of Lobster Man

2007-04-30T05:57:00.000-04:00

You ask why I don't go out in the sun. I give you this as part of my answer.

Other parts include: spiders/bugs, birds, and dirt.

Classy?

2007-04-08T23:01:00.000-04:00

This picture isn't quite a year old, but it is the newest picture of me dressed up that I have.

So the question is: does putting a dork in a fancy suit make the dork fancier or the suit dorkier?

Poor Rosenplantz

2007-03-21T22:23:00.000-04:00

This is an office plant Kat gave me when I started my job at the high school. I named him Rosenplantz (think Hamlet) and he's been doing fine for two years. I came in last week and he had just fallen over, for no apparent reason. I don't know what to do for him and I'm pretty sad about it.

Farewell, Rosenplantz. We had some good times together.

Multiple Choice

2007-03-10T23:47:00.000-05:00

I realize there is only one correct answer, and it's not the actual answer to the question.

I'm Right

2007-02-25T21:31:00.000-05:00

I never, ever get to utter those words.

Also, thanks to Carolyn, I've learned how to put a bolder line around the text. So that's something!

Be Excellent To Each Other

2007-02-20T06:15:00.000-05:00

If you don't have any, go borrow some from your neighbor.

Happy Valentines Day

2007-02-14T00:22:00.000-05:00

Please engage your irony sensors before viewing this picture.

The shirt was a gift, and today seemed like the best day for it, yes?

Clutter

2007-02-09T17:17:00.000-05:00

The title of this one is more fun if you sing it to the tune of "Strutter" by Kiss.

Feelin' Wolveriney

2007-01-18T06:07:00.000-05:00

I don't think this picture actually does justice to how fuzzy my sideburns are currently.

Driving

2006-12-15T22:42:00.000-05:00

This will, coincidentally, be the picture for my album of emo ballads.

In My Natural Environment

2006-10-30T20:28:00.000-05:00

A picture of my desk, which is way messier than I'd like it to be. I go through and clean it up every so often, but that hasn't happened for a while now.

I go to great lengths to set up these "natural-looking" pictures for ya'll. I hope you appreciate it.

My First Origami

2006-10-08T22:20:00.000-04:00

That's a fish, a simple bird, and a simple swan.

Unseen: a frustrated me. I can't fold precisely enough.

2006-09-26T20:29:00.000-04:00

Decked Out

2006-09-17T22:30:00.000-04:00

I bought both the shirt and the hat in Dallas. I don't normally like to wear hats, but I like the way this one feels. Go Cowboys!

Me As A Simpsons Character

2006-09-12T00:32:00.000-04:00

In honor of the new season of The Simpsons, here's me as I might look as a character.

I made it here.

My Office

2006-08-22T19:26:00.000-04:00

This is my office at work. Sadly, this is about the least messy it gets. I want it to be neater, it just never is.

Frakes On A Plane

2006-08-01T06:06:00.000-04:00

This picture isn't original with me, but it's my favorite Snakes on a Plane variant.

The fellow in the picture is Jonathan Frakes, best known as Commander Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation, though he has gone on and done other things.

Thanks to Dan for showing me this picture originally.

Ten Lousy Points

2006-07-18T21:41:00.000-04:00

I'd have to play that on some serious points-tripling spaces before I was even a little happy.

Great Googly Moogly

2006-06-29T22:11:00.000-04:00

This was in answer to HP's current cam. We are attempting to start an Internet trend!

Three Of A Kind

2006-06-19T21:58:00.000-04:00

That'd be Josh, Dave, and me. I recently met them for dinner.

Inconsolable

2006-06-10T15:42:00.000-04:00

Need to know why?

Batman Cookie Jar

2006-05-09T21:20:00.000-04:00

My friend Carolyn bought me this for my birthday! It's about a foot tall and Batman's head comes off so you can put cookies in him.

...

That sounds kind of weird now that I've written it.

Thanks, Carolyn! Mega-awesome!

Chewbacca Ball!

2006-04-24T17:29:00.000-04:00

There's not much more I can say about this. It's Chewbacca dunking through a ring of fire! What more do you want?!?

Also, the fur on his arm has caught fire. Yeowch.

New Tattoo

2006-03-29T20:32:00.000-05:00

Some people like to collect action figures or movie posters. Me, I like to go all out.

Full-On Improv Mode

2006-03-04T23:58:00.000-05:00

For some reason, I've never before noticed that my hairline was asymmetrical. I will now be bothered by this every day for the rest of my life.

In other news, this is how I look for improv shows.

In other other news, this is my 60th webcam pic.

Emily Echidna

2006-02-19T00:06:00.000-05:00

She might not look it, but Emily Echidna is fearless. She will Backside 540 and Railside Grind with the best of them.

Old School

2006-02-01T22:18:00.000-05:00

This one was to answer a picture challenge in the THorum. Someone asked for either/or, and I had both.

Plus, Nutmeg looks mighty cute in the corner there.

Mouse In Da House

2006-01-12T22:21:00.000-05:00

I wish I had a quarter or something similar in this picture to help with scale, but this was a very tiny mouse. How can something so small be so hoppy?!?

Hippies Use Side Door

2006-01-03T11:11:00.000-05:00

Every time I've gone to Jimmie John's with my friend Kat, I've cracked up over this sign they've got there. She got it and the Aquaman T-shirt for me for Christmas.

I'm wearing the Aquaman shirt ironically, in case you didn't realize it.

Merry Christmas

2005-12-21T11:11:00.000-05:00

My actual Christmas tree.

My School Picture

2005-11-28T11:10:00.000-05:00

Even staff members get their pictures taken at schools.

Gift Exchange Drawing

2005-11-21T11:08:00.000-05:00

I drew the names out of an actual hat. A Tick hat, to be specific.

Also, this is the debut of the new font for my cams. It's Maiandra GD, and it replaces Comic Sans.

Star Wars: Episode III

2005-11-01T11:07:00.000-05:00

Another Mr. T cam pic!

I didn't make this one, but I sure enjoy it.

World of Warcraft

2005-10-27T12:06:00.000-04:00

This is a screenshot of my main character in World of Warcraft, Mupmadellan. He looks grumpy.

Snakes on a Plane

2005-10-11T12:05:00.000-04:00

I've written a song about it, so I had to get a T-shirt.

Serenity

2005-09-23T12:04:00.000-04:00

I made this in honor of Serenity, the Firefly movie. It's not very well-done, but you get the idea.

Mr. T Button

2005-08-31T12:03:00.000-04:00

To this day I don't know who sent this to me. No one has ever 'fessed up.

World's Largest Ball of Paint

2005-08-20T12:02:00.000-04:00

Just like the shirt says.

Wanted

2005-07-14T12:00:00.000-04:00

There was a website that let you create posters out of pictures you uploaded and I had been slacking on blog updates for a while.

Good Friends

2005-07-02T11:58:00.000-04:00

Angela (Pixel), Charley (John Clark), and me.

I got to meet them in Florida and it was great. They are both beautiful human beings.

I am a lobster.

Hulk Shirt

2005-06-28T11:57:00.000-04:00

I have never actually worn this shirt out in public.

Batman Begins

2005-06-07T11:56:00.000-04:00

I went to a preview screening of Batman Begins and this is one of the signs they had on our chairs.

BFF

2005-05-23T11:54:00.000-04:00

I'm not sure where I stumbled onto the surprisingly haunting photo of Mr. T, but it begged for a pairing with a black and white me.

The Many Faces of MadMup

2005-05-12T11:53:00.000-04:00

Various versions of me from different sources.

SEGA Shirt

2005-04-25T11:44:00.000-04:00

My friend Angela (Pixel) sent me this neat-o shirt for my birthday! She rocks!

Kung Fu Grip

2005-04-18T11:43:00.000-04:00

I have a lot of wrist pain (most likely from years of computer use and video gaming), and sometimes it gets bad enough that I wear a brace.

Shameless Plug

2005-03-16T10:41:00.000-05:00

You, too, can order your very own MadMup.com T-shirt! Others have!

Me, Gary Coleman, & KITT

2005-03-14T10:40:00.000-05:00

That's an ever-so-slightly-doctored pic of me hanging out with my homies.

The original had David Hasselhoff in it.

Sleeping Evil

2005-03-07T10:38:00.000-05:00

The "evil" refers to Nutmeg there, in case you were wondering.

I snapped this pic with my camera-phone and it turned out better than I expected it would.

Huge Head

2005-02-24T10:37:00.000-05:00

It really does!

Ulala

2005-02-21T10:33:00.000-05:00

I got an office with my new position at work and my friend Kat bought me this resin statue of Ulala and two Morolians from the videogame Space Channel 5 for my office. I haven't gotten as many comments on it as I suspected I would.

Cat Smackdown

2005-02-04T10:32:00.000-05:00

About two seconds after this picture was taken, Nutmeg tackled Dala and Dala wrestled her down. Dala always wins. Always.

Nintendo Pants

2005-01-23T10:30:00.000-05:00

My mom bought me the Nintendo pants for Christmas, and my sweatshirt says "Sega Dreamcast" on it. I thought the juxtaposition was downright ironical.

Plus, my desk is messy.

Justice League

2005-01-15T10:29:00.000-05:00

People on the THorum were representing the members of the Justice League in various ways, so I did my part.

Sinister

2005-01-07T10:28:00.000-05:00

Oddly enough, I really like this picture of me.

Cold Thuggin'

2004-12-12T10:27:00.000-05:00

I went to a preview screening of Ocean's 12 and won a free hat. I thought it made me look like a poser thug.

syko Painting

2004-12-06T10:25:00.000-05:00

I commissioned a painting from my friend Katy (sykobabble) from the THorum, and this is what she did. Awesome!

Gordon Freeman

2004-11-17T10:22:00.000-05:00

The celebrity I look most like is Gordon Freeman from the Half-Life video games. In them, he uses a crowbar to bust open crates and kill headcrabs. It seemed to me a natural celebrity endorsement.

Voted

2004-11-02T10:21:00.000-05:00

Just what the sticker says.

Superman

2004-10-14T11:18:00.000-04:00

The picture is from one of those weird "comics with a message" that were so prevalent in the 70's. Brian (still paired with me) put up a Lex Luthor one that said "Lex Luthor sez... Do drugs" With a cartoon panel of Lex saying, "They're not that bad."

Listen to Superman, kids!

If I Ran the Internet

2004-09-29T11:15:00.000-04:00

The picture is from Penny Arcade.

This was a reaction to a lot of bickering, swearing, and stupidness on the THorum. It had gotten a lot less fun to hang out there and I was frustrated because I couldn't do much about it.

Haircut

2004-09-16T11:14:00.000-04:00

I don't like it when my hair gets too long. Other people don't like it when my hair gets too short. My hair, my decision.

No Spring Chicken

2004-09-06T11:13:00.000-04:00

A friend gave me this in response to my constant "I'm getting old" comments.

Things Labeled

2004-08-26T11:12:00.000-04:00

I really do like labeling things, but this was based on a Far Side comic from years ago.

Tanktop

2004-08-16T11:10:00.000-04:00

I refuse to explain this picture other than to say, yes, that is a Batman tanktop and, yes, I really am that pale.

BatMup

2004-08-08T11:09:00.000-04:00

Yes, I really own a rubber Batman cowl.

New Curtains

2004-08-06T11:08:00.000-04:00

I bought new curtains and they matched my old couch pillows, so here's the photographic proof.

New View

2004-07-24T11:07:00.000-04:00

A new apartment means a new view from my webcam.

Cruise

2004-07-06T11:04:00.000-04:00

The cute couple in the middle are Mike and Meags. They met on the THorum and are planning to get married in the summer of 2006. Mike's folks invited Meags on the family vacation cruise, so I thought I'd throw in some random weird pictures in the background. I'm not sure what the toothy monster is, but the other things in the background are Devastatin' Dave the Turntable Slave, Truman, and a really scary THorum member named Nidhogg.

Suit

2004-06-20T11:00:00.000-04:00

I was in Wisconsin for a wedding, so I had my dad take this picture of me. It's an old suit, but I've always liked it.

Ninja Turtle

2004-06-15T10:58:00.000-04:00

I had just bought that T-shirt from Theater Hopper and I decided it wasn't enough, so I added my stuffed Donatello to the pic.

BadgerBadgerBadger

2004-06-05T10:57:00.000-04:00

This, of course, is my take on the famous Badger/Mushroom/Snake phenomenon.

Freaky

2004-05-23T10:53:00.000-04:00

I had just moved my computer desk, so the angle was different, and I also decided to take my glasses off for some reason.

Best Buy Gift Card

2004-05-13T10:50:00.000-04:00

The THorumites also got me a gift card to Best Buy for my birthday. It was a seriously awesome birthday.

Birthday Cake

2004-05-06T10:48:00.000-04:00

People on the THorum chipped and got me birthday cake!

It was supposed to get delivered, but they had the address slightly wrong, so I ended up having to go pick it up, but it was still awesome! German chocolate cake with pecan coconut icing is the best!

To Ward Off Evil

2004-04-28T10:47:00.000-04:00

Someone had put up a picture of a clown or something equally evil, so I put up this pic in response.

THorum Avatars

2004-04-22T10:44:00.000-04:00

One day while I was away for a few hours, everyone on the THorum changed their avatars to some version of my cartoon avatar. When I got back and saw them all, it was way cool, so I collected them and put them into one pic.

Casual

2004-04-20T10:43:00.000-04:00

My attempt a casual self-portrait. I actually quite like this picture of me.

BooBerry

2004-04-20T10:42:00.000-04:00

It's one of my favorite cereals, and it had a cutout flap on the pack, so it begged for a cam.

Not Thrilled

2004-04-17T10:39:00.000-04:00

This is the problem with pairing a cam with someone else's cam on a cam page - without the other cam it loses meaning.

This was in response to being put next to Brian's cam on the THorum cam page. He was saying something snarky in his, so I snarked back.

Chicken Mup

2004-04-15T10:38:00.000-04:00

Someone on the THorum slapped my cartoon avatar head on a chicken's body, so I combined it with one of my favorite pictures of Schwarzenegger.

Artsy Mup

2004-04-15T10:34:00.000-04:00

As emo as it gets.

The Mup

2004-04-15T09:33:00.000-04:00

I don't watch pro wrestling, but who doesn't love The Rock?!? He's suave, charming, funny, and good looking! This an homage.

Weird Al Shirt

2004-04-06T09:26:00.000-04:00

The T-shirt I bought at the Weird Al concert I attended.
