Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I’ve been posting anything at least somewhat-entertaining from the Comic-Con 2010 convention floor to the GWS Twitter stream, but this gem was worth sharing with the rest of you folks who don’t tune in for my every electronically-transmitted word.* Meet the light-up Tron hoodie, now appearing in the Tron booth at SDCC. Tell me that [...]
But He Seemed So Friendly: Rampaging Giant Robot Cake [Geeky Cake]
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010If you’ll notice, I’ve been posting mostly pleasing images on GWS today.

And, also? Conjunctivitis. But that’s a totally separate matter. Unfortunately, the internets won’t tell me the when, how much, or where of the retail availability of [...]
Look Forward to More of This: Terrible Klingon Elvis Costume [Cosplay]
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010So, posting will be slow as I make my way down to San Diego for this year’s Comic-Con, which starts Wednesday night. Consider this the calm before the storm. And consider the “storm” to be an onslaught of imagery of nerds dressed in tragically-overtight spandex. Which… is entertainment at its finest. (Check out my coverage [...]
Twitter Link Sampler – Week Ending July 17, 2010
