Star Trek Into Dorkness (SPOILERS and stuff,...
I, like a good science fiction nerd, went to go see Star Trek Into Darkness yesterday. I enjoyed it. It was a good flick. It was fun to watch. It was, though, a bad Star Trek movie. (Or, as my friend Mike Broder put it: it was a good Star Trek fan fiction.)
My credentials for making that analysis as a fanboy are pretty solid. My Star Trek geekness predates my other geeknesses....

Seventeen days.
That’s how much time our beloved Kickstarter has to reach it’s goal. We’ve come pretty far, but it’s still not enough. Here’s the stats:

Almost ten years ago, my Polish family got...
Family isn’t always about blood or DNA (as my own life has continued to illustrate.) That said, relatives can be a hell of a lot of fun. Nine years ago, I posted a photo that I took on a trip to New Jersey to visit the Polish half of my family.
For those of you that didn’t know: yes, I’m half Polish. Now, I’ll sit here for a moment while you think to yourself “oh, THAT explains it” or some...

Emptyage: Generation X Doesn't Want to Hear It →
Earlier generations have weathered recessions, of course; this stall we’re in has the look of something nastier. Social Security and Medicare are going to be diminished, at best. Hours worked are up even as hiring staggers along: Blood from a stone looks to be the normal order of things “going…
THIS. ALL OF THIS.

Bad hair day + Microphone = ???
A friend of mine in California’s friend was the former roommate of a former Wasabi Anime advisor. As a result, said friend saw a photo and recognized me. Oh my God, my hair.

Shannon vs. The Rock Climbing Wall (Royal...
Our cruise last year had a rock climbing wall. Making sure that we got our money’s worth for being on the boat, we both did it. We too photos, too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomcroom/sets/72157632016582697/
It was fun, exhausting, and a reminder of how out of shape I was.

Shannon spelunking in caves in Belize (Royal...
Part of our excursion was to go deep into rock caves in the Belize jungle. It was November, which normally means mild weather. Inside the caves? HOT AS HELL. Plus there were bats. Lots of bats.
But we had fun.

When heading into the jungle (yes, THE JUNGLE) in Belize to go spelunking, we had to cross a bridge over the Belize River that was very “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Like a nerd, I filmed it.

Adventures in Japan 2013 Part 13: #EVANGELION...
When we left off last Saturday, Shannon and I were walking around Evangelion World at Fuji-Q Highlands theme park near Mt. Fuji in Japan.
Damn, my life IS kind of cool.
After touring all the other display rooms, we wandered into MAIN attraction: the 1:1 scale Evangelion Unit-01 head. It was built to look like the body was submerged and that you are, in fact, in the hanger where it is stored –...

greggosgameshows:
So I hosted game shows at Brony-Fest in Lewisville, TX a while ago. For performing this service I was to be paid an amount that’s roughly the same cost as four attendee badges. I have yet to see that money, and the convention is advertising for their second year already. I was apparently just…

So I’ve Decided to Put Band-Aids on my Nipples....
Last month, I posted a blog post boasting that I have been ranting and raving via web logs (aka blogging) on “teh Interwebz” for over ten years now.
Ten… long… years.
The problem with an accomplishment like that is that it involves math. Once math gets involved, people starting asking question. Once people start asking questions, information becomes public and then, before you know it, we all...

Adventures in Japan 2013 Part 12: More adventures...
As we walked down the hallways of NERV Headquarters inside Evangelion World at the Fuji-Q Highland theme park in Japan, we saw a series of doors with peepholes installed in them. We noticed other folks looking in, so we did the same. The peepholes were clever views into rooms where NERV staff (Misato, Kaji, etc.) were “working” on various things. One door, though, seemed somewhat odd for the...
