« Previous EntriesSounds About Right: Guy Plays Star Trek with His Cat
Friday, August 27th, 2010Here’s a sad video of a guy playing a Star Trek board game with his cat. (Which is how I assume all Star Trek nerds play board games.)
No one shows up for my Star Trek board game night and so I’m forced to play my cat, Gloria.
Right. What I said.

Skills that Pay the (Very Small) Bills: 2010 World Yo-Yo Contest Winner
Thursday, August 26th, 2010This guy has got some ninja-level yo-yo-ing skills.
In fact, this might be one of those rare cases where the inverse relationship between impressing other nerds* and being sexually-attractive to women doesn’t actually apply.
Ha, ha, just kidding. Of course it still applies.

Which seems like a really worthwhile craft project, right up until the point where I remember I’m not allowed to throw it at people.
(Cue the Fail Horn.)
That’s Better!: Scott Pilgrim vs. The Matrix
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Here’s a trailer mashup by AEmovieguy for the film version of Scott Pilgrim that Americans actually would have paid to see; the version with attractive people clad in tight leather.

Nerdsplosion: Trekkie Sings Lyrics to Star Trek: The Next Generation Theme Song
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010I’ve been sitting on this video for about three days, but an out-of-town work conference (hello, prostitutes!) has temporarily severed my usually-constant intravenous connection to the internetwebs. Hence: the sporadic posting this week.
I’ll be back home and re-connected this evening. But in the meantime, I will no longer be kept from helping another grossly-misguided Star [...]
