Thursday, March 25th, 2010To all of you nerds and geeks who–like me–have been unfairly and inaccurately labeled “dorks,” only to then exhaustively explain the differences among the three to a more-than-skeptical offender, I say: You’re welcome.

Thursday, February 25th, 2010Yep. This guy set a world record for naming all 79 episodes of the original Star Trek TV series in broadcast order* in 1 minute, 38.9 seconds.
