As a kid, my favorite toy in the world was Legos, or more properly LEGO. From my very first space set I got for Christmas in 1980 (the Beta 1 Command Base) I was totally hooked, and LEGO dominated my wish lists for birthday and Christmas for years to follow. In college, my love for […]
I work hard to prove to people that geeks are just folks with different ideas of fun. I make sure to temper any geekery with the awareness that there are non-geeks around, and include them in conversations. I try not to use words with more than 3 syllables in every day conversation (unless I’m trying […]

I realized late tonight that April was the 5th anniversary of the one short story I ever sold for cash. Frankly, there’s been few stories I’ve sold for even magazine copies, let alone for a real honest to goodness check. Much of my lack of fiction publishing is honestly a straight up lack of trying and […]
No, this place will not be all Trek all the time, but on the off chance you’ve not seen this video, I figure it’s as good a way as any to cap the Trek talk. Â The music is “Closer” by NIN, so NSFW lyrics. Â Keep your headphones handy and enjoy.

Gaming Together: My Uncle Ken, Cousin Wes, Me, and Dad Okay, I may well be the closest to an actual Trekkie/Trekker on this blog. Like all aspects of my life that involve geekery, this one comes pretty much directly from my father. Let’s be honest, much of what we call preference likely exists as little more than random acts […]
I’ve been meaning to post about this for a week now, but just haven’t found the time until now. I came across an absolutely fantastic bit of architectural porn, an architectual firm’s office (what else?) in Spain. This isn’t just any old office, mind you.  They blended cool retro 1950s style with modern materials, and […]
I want to see how many readers we have, what sort of posts you’d like to see more of and what flavor of geekdom you more identify with. I realize these options may not best suit you, but pick the answers you like the most. (This is really just to test the polling plugin I […]
It’s no surprise to us, of course, but it seems the mainstream media are finally growing hip to the hipness of nerds and geeks. CNN has an article up this morning about how nerd cred is now hip, embraced by Hollywood and pop culture. From Revenge of the Nerds 25 years ago to TV sitcoms […]
The last time I posted something with that title, it became this blog. So I’m hopeful…. I’ve finally gotten around to read The Dark Tower. I *so* wish I could do a DMoTR/Darth & Droids version of the book and I’m only on book 3. I mean, honestly. (Spoilers, I guess) I think it’s a […]

Plan on taking the kids out to Rogue’s Gallery after breakfast and the boy’s guitar lesson. Also, a good chance for dad to sneak in and buy gaming stuff the day after payday. Mmmmm, come home and teach a new game while they read their comics. Just another day in geek paradise. Reminds me that […]
