Evan Killham has written for Bitmob and a bunch of sites you’ve never heard of (but not in a hipster way). He spends half of his day making bad jokes, half of his day explaining and/or apologizing for those jokes, and a third half trying to think of interesting things to write on the Internet. He receives the extra time from his best friend, a cyborg monkey capable of bending time and space. He is currently adapting their story into an off-off-off-Broadway musical entitled “Macaque to the Future.”
