This Week in Geekdom

Sorry for the delay in posts, this past week(s) has been incredibly busy in the world of geeks.

Let's wrap it up shall we?

Watchmen. Well...well...well...the most prolific, critically acclaimed and treasured graphic novel of all time has finally been put on cellulose. That's right, the "Unfilmable" has been filmed--and quite successfully. Barring minor continuity problems or expulsions, the film accurately portrays the epic heroic struggle between good and evil--not in the world, but in one's personality and mind. Super Heroes aren't so super now are they?

In the world of automobiles, Audi released a super-futuristic and super-classy concept art for a Hovercraft known only as Shark. The concept comes from the mind of Kazim Doku, a 26 year old artist with a penchant for winning competitions in vehicle design. Now Audi, any idea as to when you're going to roll these off the assembly line?

Finally, earlier this week, everyone's favorite faux-pundit Stephen Colbert mobilized the Colbert Nation to name a newly completed life-support storage node to the International Space Station. NASA opened voting earlier this year with a lame assortment of names like "Legacy" and "Serenity". Now, I'm as much of a fan of naming space components after Stanley Kubrick storyboarding events as the next guy, we need some more pizzaz. You'll also notice that Colbert has passed Scientology's savior warlord Xenu in the polls, officially placing him as the new Savior Warlord of Scientology. I wonder how the sci-heads feel about that!

The Lone Geek Cometh

'Allo 'Allo

It's been what seems like eons since I've had a blog (or ever), but the compelling draw of the blogosphere have finally drawn me here today.

This blog will have pretty much anything and everything Geek. Gadgets, Games, Music, Geek Culture, Comics and Geek Chic.

Now interwebs, let's begin on our journey to the center of the psyche of a geek...and tremble at what we find.
