With Geek Watch 2008 slowly crawling to a close, I find that I have accomplished little over the last few days save for: A bit too much game time. A bit too much TV. A bit too much spent. Great memories which will hopefully last a lifetime for my nephew. Today was the last of our “big events” that we had planned. I took him to Columbus to check out COSIs CSI: The Experience exhibit. We...

Geek Watch continues unabated. Last week was a blur of activity, late nights, and a few bottles of Anchor Porter along the way. Needless to say, when I wasn’t working, I was in my cave scratching myself and generally fulfilling the stereotype of the modern geek.

Tis late. Or early depending on your perspective. And I am blogging. Nothing good can come of this. On Thursday, I worked from home. I asked the Spousal Unit if she wanted to go to Canada a day early.

The pizza is in season. The smell of testosterone and unkept house is in the air. No donut is safe. Yes. Geek Watch is nigh. And this year? It’s on baby. It’s on.

This evening I managed to finally get the guitar bug out of my system, so I spent most of this evening cleaning out my office. Our house is a very cluttered place. Not like this perhaps, but we have more than our fair share of crap laying around. In my life I’ve managed to accumulate a large...

I went to Sam’s Club tonight and picked up a copy of Guitar Hero 2 for the X-Box 360. I had a chance to play the PS2 version yesterday at Eldest Nephew’s birthday party. Oh. Mah. Gawd. It has like, the best songs EVAR. I can sit and play ‘Message in a Bottle‘ or ‘Girlfriend‘ over and over again. And don’t even get me started on ‘Strutter‘. I felt...
