Dork Moon Rising

So, I’m going to attempt the utterly ridiculous tomorrow… I’m going to play in a Magic: The Gathering tournament. A Pro Tour Qualifier to be exact. Yes, I’m willingly wading into swaths of unwashed geek dander, all to play a goofy ass card game. (Although I suppose it’s no worse than the booze/cigarette stink of a poker tournament.) Now this will... Read More

“Within the Purview of Your Conundrums of Philosophy…”

This is the one-thousand, five-hundredth post in the history of my bloggy career. *fanfare* And that’s about all I’m going to say about it I think…because I just noticed THIS, which makes me very happy. j.s.  Read More

Year of the Geek

So, in the interest of keeping them all in one easy-to-find place, here are just a few of the geektastic things I’m looking forward to in 2010. May 4, 2010 – Mike Patton’s “Mondo Cane” album released. Hilarity ensues. And I  Read More

And, as if a World of Warcraft hack weren’t geeky enough subject matter for a blog post, I’m going to raise the Nerd Quotient to the 7th or 8th power by admitting that I’ve gone out and purchased some Magic: The Gathering cards this week. And yes, that’s a rather embarrassing admission. It’s been over a decade since I last darkened the door of a hobby... Read More

I spent the past 24 hours making changes to every single password I use, on every website I visit, every program I use, and every email account I have. And that’s a whole lot of loggin’. But I think I’ve shored up all the leaks, and have emerged relatively unscathed. *knocks... Read More

L4D2 Incoming

Good Lord…he’s posting on a weekend! Actually that’s not true at all. I’m just dropping in to say hi. I have a fiancĂ©e who’s currently reading on my couch and, no offense to any of you, but I’d much rather curl up with her and watch Sunday Night Football than stare at this LCD screen and type. Besides, I can’t do a whole lot else on... Read More

So Close

We’re a scant $58.00 away from our goal, and I have been authorized (on behalf of the celestial powers that be), to distribute karma based on monetary donations that will help save the lives of children with cancer. Oh, and don’t forget to watch us live via webcam, starting at 8:00am Saturday morning and running NON-STOP until 8:00am Sunday morning. Cheers. j.s.  Read More
