30 "What Do You Mean You Haven't Read That?" books for geeks
Outlawcoon (with help from a few of us) came up with the following list of 30 classic geek books for our generation. Not good geek books. Not even books that will stand the test of time -- although many of them have and will. Just 30 books that we find surprising to discover geeks haven't read ( Read more... ) -

CARPE CONFECTION!
I think chocolate cake is going to push me over the edge to being a communist. There is chocolate cake in our office. And normally, this would be considered a good thing. But this is no ordinary chocolate cake. It can not be served to the plebian workers. It is reserved for the Board of Directors. The same board of directors who are also being ( Read more... ) -
Gray Day. Gray Me.
I've just had the urge to pick up either the Gap series, Angry Candy, or G.R.R. Martin. This rain has GOT to go. I'm gloomy and gray and listless, and I want sunshine ( Read more... ) -

Nim: Are you going to take D to see it?
Me: Hmm. ( Read more... ) -
Miscellaneous
When shown tonight's dinner, the Bit said "SUSHISUSHISUSHISUSHIYAYAYAYAYAY!" in one high-pitched squeal of delight. She proceeded to demolish several pieces of sashimi, two pieces of bagel roll, an eel, a salmon, and a tuna sushi, and some California roll. She disdained the parsley though, so she's not a complete freak. Of course, this is also ( Read more... ) -

Rainy Weekend
I am trying to shake off a sustained blue funk, and the weather is just not helping. I need about 3 hours in a nice sun-dappled forest somewhere, and it's just not happening any time soon. The weekend helped; Saturday was a good (if somewhat a little fluffy) two hour martial arts session with lots of meditation and breathing exercises followed by ( Read more... ) -
Zombie Dreams and Woodsy Women
I woke up last night from a fairly awful dream of zombies. I was with an anonymous group of people all armed with various implements of destruction. At one point, we wound up trying a selection of bashing and slashing weapons just to see which one worked best. I have a vivid memory of slamming a baseball bat into the face of a zombie and ( Read more... )
