Cripes, it’s Christmas already. What’s going on? Well, here’s gift suggestions- maybe for your geek friends, maybe for you. Of course, I expect lots of folks around these parts are playing Skyrim or Star Wars: The Old Republic. I’m certainly doing the latter at the moment. The only problem looking at those as gifts is […]
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a nifty anime movie we saw earlier this year- Summer Wars. Q and I had the opportunity to see it at the ever-awesome Alamo Drafthouse (Ritz location, Austin), where we ran into tons of people we know. :P I really liked it, and Q absolutely LOVED it. […]
So I’m testing out the WordPress app for iPhone, and figured this tidbit was as good as any to share in the process. While looking at box office totals for each year of the 80s to jog my memory, I found myself struck by the top 6 films of 1981. The first 5, in order: […]

You know, as a card-carrying pinko-commie-hippie-liberal, I’m all for recycling. Green planet and all that. Which must mean that McG is Al Gore’s BFF, because I will be damned if I can think of a sci-fi movie he DIDN’T rip off in putting together Terminator: Salvation.
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 […]
