  • Happy Birthday Townsend Coleman

    Happy Birthday to Townsend Coleman, voice actor extraordinaire. People of my vintage may not know his name, but we know his work. Most famously, he was the voice of the Ninja Turtle Michaelangelo…and my favorite, The Tick. (to keep this sports related, he voiced Wayne Gretzky on ProStars) His voice acting profile is here, and…

  • Show Your Desktop

    Click the thumbnail for the full effect – I use Rainmeter for customizations, and the background comes from Orioto’s ‘Videogame Remakes’ gallery at deviantART. The skins used for Rainmeter are Urban, Enigma and HUD.Vision (for the weather and picture viewer). H/T to Lifehacker that got me started with Rainmeter. I know Ryan has evicted Big…

  • Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

    I am writing this, in the interest of full disclosure, as a Trekkie who kind of fell away from Star Trek towards the end of Voyager, and missed pretty much all of Enterprise. Seems pretty common, actually, from the guys I went to see the movie with. Word of caution: Here there may be spoilers…

  • Nerdiest Wedding? YOU DECIDE

    Gizmodo has the scoop on what could be the nerdiest wedding in the history of weddings. It is Star Wars themed, down to the Death Star disco ball, Stormtrooper bustier and the tables named for SW universe locations. [poll id=”14″]

  • Five Things

    With apologies/thanks to Kate at the Willful Caboose: Shut up, Favre. NOW I have an obsessive desire to click spam links before I delete them, even though I know that would just feed into the spammer’s ego. Being a real user of Facebook/Twitter instead of an idle one really helps make the connections. Good job,…

  • Product Review: Mountain Dew Throwback

    As you may have heard, Pepsi has release Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback, versions of the drinks that make use of natural sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup. You can most likely find ’em now at your local mega-mart (/Alton Brown’d), and I just picked up the Dew Throwback up in our cafeteria…

  • Everything Old Is New Again

    Here’s a head-scratch inducing addition to your desktop PC setup – an old VHS tape modded to act as a USB flash drive, complete with LED light and spinning reels. I don’t have the skills for this, but if I pass this along to the right person (MacGyver-esque dude in front of me) I can…

  • Old Game Tuesday – Final Fantasy VI

    There was a time when I was perfectly happy just playing my original 8-bit NES. I had fun, time-consuming games like Final Fantasy and Uncharted Waters, and didn’t need any new console just for better graphics. Then I was informed Final Fantasy II was coming to that newfangled SNES. Someone brought their system and the…

  • Happy Birthday Mattie!

    It was one year ago today (about 40 minutes ago as I type this) that my daughter was born on MY birthday! What a great present she’s been. :) We had a party for her on Sunday, I’ll try and get pictures of her cake experience up. :) Happy birthday Mattie! the fighter psp

  • xkcd – Nerd Romance

    The comic is chock full of stuff like this, but to delve a bit deeper, read this. Basically a detailed mathmatical analysis of a date in which you attempt to see the sun set twice. I did NOT study hard enough to deal with that…
