here’s a question to geeks everywhere….will anything ever compare to BSG? I doubt it….
…of architectural geekiness and film geekiness. If anyone gives me the $2.5 million, I’ll throw a house party to beat all.
You know like, “every rose has its thorns” or “man, I didn’t age well but I still look better than Vince Neil.” Kinda like Terminator Salvation feels a lot like the disappointment from Revenge of the Sith and a lot less like Alien Versus Predator. Hey, I’m trying to find somewhere nice to start because [...]
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 [...]
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.

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. The music is “Closer” by NIN, so NSFW lyrics. 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 [...]
