Also, too: the Ryker Beard cannot be denied.
I still don't know very much about brain scans...
Here are three Star Trek-themed things that have come up recently. All of them made me laugh so hard I pooped a little, so they need to be preserved here for the ages. First, from Jimmy James, Inc: For the record, Wesley's dance crew was called Jiffy and da Popz. Next: Last night, Paul of Pa...
I would like to live at 1/4 Impulse, because I'm built for comfort, not speed.

There is too much awesome in this post and of course, the links add enough extra awesomesauce to completely invert the universe.
One of these days I'm going to read every single post at Hyperbole and a Half, with comments, from the beginning. It's that good.
But before I do, I'd better pick up some Depends and something to clean the monitor with. Could be messy.

Sales of The Day After and Other Stories have blown my expectations away, and the feedback I've received has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm relieved and happy that so many readers are enjoying it, and if you're one of them, I thought you should know that you've given me +5 to my saves vs. Par...
O HAI haz been more than .25 month since Wootstock Chicago. Normality has almost been restored...the city is still here and hey? The Blackhawks won, for those who were keeping score.
We all miss you all. Plz visit the rest of Wootstock-nation-to-be. I totally concur that you should visit Ft Collins, although I would posit a visit to Boulder also/instead, the most awesome place in the universe.
Good beer, many nerds, much good food to be consumed...wait, though, don't eat the nerds unless they are the candy kind.

PS O!! Salt Lake City has some really bitchen roller derby, by all accounts. It's a surprisingly awesome and geek-infested place, too.
"In a lot of ways, for me, W00tstock felt like finally finding a home base."
When Paul and Storm and Adam Savage and I had our first conversations about what would become w00tstock, we knew that we wanted to put on an entertaining show for our fellow nerds that would be successful enough to warrant more than the three shows we originally planned. Sunday and Monday, we're...
Can't get anything done at work this week, too much awesomesauce in my brain still.

Nawt secund! I came, I Twittered, I Flickred, I blogged. Hubby registered a domain name during the intermission via iPhone. Did my word "rotunda" make it onto the poster? We had to slink back to the burbs kind of quickly, so we waved our virtual Zippos and scarpered.
The twelve-year old kid next to us seemed to enjoy all the jokes, and appeared to be having a peak lifetime experience. I heard his dad making a couple of tactful explanations, but he omitted mentioning just why the last verse of the frakking pirate song was so funny.
Someday he'll be a monologuist telling the story of his twisted life, and then you'll all be sorry.
Of course that last verse didn't end until half an hour after the intro...

"Nine Mice O' Georgia" was my greatest hit in college, though I never laid a hand on you. What the heck?
From the Vault: the safety dance
Last night, Nolan went through my iTunes library so he could put some of my awesome music on his iPod. He's been after me for months to give him Radiohead, The Beatles, Tool, Decemberists, and a lot of my 80s stuff. While he looked, the following exchange occurred: Nolan: Why do you have The Sa...
Aw, Z, you make me feel all embiggened. And I blame Wil for my expanded vocabulary. I'll probably have to call my sister later to translate all the geekery.
The funny thing is, I though there was something wrong with my Firefox settings.
Gotta go. CSI on TiVo. Hope you get another gig there as someone completely different, Wil.

Last night, I saw a column at Newsarama that infuriated me. It's been taken offline, so I can't quote it, but the basic premise was that Wesley Crusher was playing Ted Kord, so Ted Kord was a Redshirt, because Wesley was a Redshirt, so now you know how lame that episode is going to be ha ha ha. ...
