New Geek Life: Security Security Security!
On this week’s The Geek Life, Paul and I were left to our own devices once again. Thus, we rambled on about movies, security, Apple… well, mostly all the things we usually ramble on about. Whee!
Year: 2012
Space Camp!
As a completely unexpected byproduct of my road trip to Dragon*Con this year, I somehow managed to wind up at Space Camp for a day. WHOA! By “Space Camp”, I mean that I actually wound up at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. The facility is a …

Dragon*Con 2012
During most years, Dragon*Con is something of a relaxing endeavor. I do not work at the convention; I’m rarely placed on panels; I generally don’t keep a regular schedule; I don’t even lug my camera everywhere. My usual plan is to a) hang out with the Skeptic track folks, b) …

I Am Worth 10 Points: The Death Race 2000 Car
On August 30th, I was in the process of driving from Minneapolis, MN to Atlanta, GA, a trek I now take once per year. At a point just over halfway between the two cities is a town named Effingham, IL, and it was about here that I wanted to take …
In Lieu of Actual Content…
I have returned safely from Dragon*Con. My adventures were epic, including things like the Death Race 2000 alligator car and a trip to Space Camp. But I don’t have the photos processed yet. You’ll have to wait. So, in lieu of actual content, here’s a photo of me driving a …
Smashing Cars with a Tank
Last Wednesday, I received an extraordinary gift from Fes Works: he took me to Drive a Tank, where I got to plunge an FV 433 Abbot into a lake. But I don’t have photos of that yet. Because I was too busy driving a tank to take photos myself. Yet …
New Geek Life: Jokes About Wood
Clearly, we’re totally highbrow this week. Have a listen to Episode 163! Unrelated and yet still geeky: have you contributed to the Camden Kickstarter yet? You should!
Kickstart Camden!
A couple weeks ago, Mr. John Kovalic, the cartoonist behind Dork Tower and Munchkin, asked if I could do a project that involved doing the color finishes on some of his black & white linework. Since working on John’s art is always fun, I naturally said yes. Yesterday, the Kickstarter went up! “Camden” is a …
