Pirate raid off the Corsican coast!

August 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Now this might be going backwards in ironic nerdy trends, but I have always had a soft spot for pirates. Creators of workman’s comp, forefathers of democracy, kicker of balls of the rich.
A party yacht that alledegly costs $250,000 per guest per week to relax was boarded, yet not scuttled off the coast of […]

Ads that scream at you! Frankenstein lives in the new Death Race

August 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

I am sitting waiting for a showing of Death Race. Located conveniently next to us is this ad of the upcoming horror film Quarantine. The ad looks innocent enough, but every 30 seconds or so, a very lo-fi speaker has Jennifer Carpenter screaming about her imminent death. Constantly. Every 30 seconds. […]

One of these things is not like the other

This weekend I found myself in northern Maine for my brother’s wedding. Machias, Maine is famous for blueberry festivals and Jasper Beaches. I was not feeling so hot so I saw neither of those, but plenty of Final Fantasy Tactcs a2. Apparently what is not so well known about Machias is their unique […]

Operation Immortality? More like Operation Futility.

Richard Garriott, creator of such games as Ultima and more regrettably Tabula Rasa, is launching a futile mission in October to bring 40 samples of DNA with him to the International Space Station.

More nerdy tattoos

August 6th, 2008 · No Comments

I got an invite on flickr to allow my d20 tattoo to be added to a geek tattoo group. Obviously, I accepted. Browsing through it, I also came across some new geeky tattoos that I haven’t seen before. The good, the bad, and the WTF? after the jump:

Nerdy computer tattoo guy is not so nerdy after all

August 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Okay, so a while back I posted here about really bad logo tattoos. One in particular stood out– a Dell tattoo. To me, Dell is a kind of lame, nothing-brand– not one that I thought anybody would be stoked about enough to get it branded on them for life. So I made fun of the […]

Hadron Collider Rap

August 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

This wins my award for “nerdiest rap thus far.” They get bonus points from me for including ALICE in the chorus (rumor has it I was named Alice because of ALICE). I also love love love the adorable dancing scientists! A++ video. This made my Friday.
