Geek Blog – Happy Holidays!
GeekWife just informed me that I’m slacking a little on my posts. “Y U no post New Year yet?” she asks.
Truth is, Star Wars: The Old Republic happened.
On a related note: Happy New Year!
Happy Holidays

Geek Blog – SpoCon 2011
August 12, 13 and 14 of 2011 was the Annual SpoCon: Spokane, Washington’s geek-fest. The GeekWife and I took a mini-vacation away from the LittleGeeks for some play of our own.
We might have disrupted a Space/Time Continuum or two....
I was out of town for work Friday, so we didn’t start our escapade until early Saturday afternoon. I’ll admit, this was my first Con, so I was a tad anxious. The Con offered many choices for entertainment and education. Workshops for CosPlayers, LAN Gaming, Board Gaming, writers’ workshops, a Masquerade and Rave as well as an Art Show/Auction – options, options!
We arrived at Spokane’s DoubleTree hotel sometime after lunch and as we navigated the crowds toward the front desk for checkin, we were greeted by a young man in full Ultramarine Power Armor! Farther down the hall sat Boushh, presumably enjoying a short break in the tides. After check-in, GeekWife and I hurried to our room at the 11th floor and quickly changed into our Con garb. Geekwife had created an excellent corset by weaving together a ton of WoW cards (doubles of doubles, and alliance to boot, she assures me). I donned my favorite costume: the Jedi Robes. We then promptly headed back downstairs to see what it was all about.
365 Challenge – Day 019
MC Escher would be proud. Trying to emulate his “Hand with Reflecting Sphere” self-portrait, but with a slight twist. My sphere, rather than reflecting the light of the room, refracted it, showing an upside-down representation of my cubicle.

365 Challenge – Day 017 “Imzadi”
"Imzadi"
Day 017, aside from being one of my five lucky numbers, is dedicated to my GeekWife, the Imzadi in my life. Imzadi is a Betazoid term describing the spiritual, physical and mental connection one has for their first True Love. My wedding band creates the heart-shaped shadow in the spine of the novel, and you can almost read its inscription “You are my World”.
I love you, GeekWife.

365 Challenge – Day 015
A new, geeky entry in my 365 Challenge. I found myself playing with some of my cube-toys and thought it pertinent to snap a photo.

Geek Blog – Top Father’s Day Gift
From my list anyway. Not necessarily THE top father’s day gift I could receive; April 19th is my GeekPrincess’s birthday – THAT tops the list. This year, she turns one and does so on Father’s Day. Last year, she surprised us the day before GeekWife and I were planning on attending Star Wars in Concert (I had to give the tickets to a very gracious co-worker).
It seems fitting that this series of events that culminate on Father’s Day would loosely parallel Nintendo’s latest ad for their soon to be released flagship: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS.
Side Note: TIL Robin Williams named his daughter after damsel in distress from the golden cartridge.

Our Story
It has been a long while since I’ve posted poetry; one of the top reasons for building this blog. Today; however, is a special occasion that warrants a new post of a new poem. The GeekWife and I are celebrating 5 years of wedded bliss. Here’s the story of Us.
Our Story
Many years past
Another held my heart;
Freely given, I was a fool
Left behind with emptiness,
A hole in my soul I couldn’t seal.
Confused and retreated, I remained alone.
In the empty black, a small pinpoint appeared,
You, my heroine arrived at the barrier I’d built.
You fought, you pushed and made your way in.
Your heart was a beacon that cut through the darkness.
Rather than follow my folly,
You acted wisely and thoughtfully.
You shared your heart with me,
Joined me in partnership,
as a friend
as a mate
as a wife
For your simple act of kindness,
I will be forever thankful
Each embrace,
moment,
tender touch,
Is eternally etched in my mind.
I love you!

Geek Blog – Super Spice 64
Never will I look at Super Mario Bros. 64 (or Old Spice for that matter) in the same light. Terry Crews is no Isaiah Mustafa (the man your man could smell like), but he definitely brings an explosive energy to the product.
