I know I'm being an over achiever with 2 posts in one day, but I really liked this write up about the conical side of Halo 4. The link in the middle of the article is pretty awesome too.

Game on!

Hello fellow nerds/geeks! I saw this little gem on Gizmodo this morning and knew I had to post it here. I am slightly ashamed that I only ranked in the middle of the pack. Time to brush up on my Klingon I suppose... :-)

5 Billionaires creating the future for fun

Hi All,

These crazy, impossibly rich people are giving me hope that I may one day actually live in the sci-fi (as opposed to syfy, with their frequent sharknado attacks) future I always hoped.

Patience Grasshopper...

I know this is not nerdy, but ever seen the show Kung Fu ? In one or more of David Carridine's characters flash-backs... his master would somehow utter the famous phrase:
"Patience Grasshopper"

Cute.

This, however, is nerdy... and has "Grasshopper" written all over it:

Not so cute - but awesome.

SpaceX Falcon 9 (Taller than a 10-story building) AKA "Grasshopper" did some nice maneuvering last week...

Sweet.

GEEK WEEK!

Please do not be mad at me for wondering why there is such a thing as "Shark Week" (if you're a shark fan). But I do find it interesting that sharks have a week dedicated to "The most Interesting Man in the World"..
=D
However, I totally understand the need for a "Geek Week"
A month would be preferable, but if it were up to me, the whole year would be best.

Here are some links to help us celebrate:
