Geek Blog – The Problem with Warping
To warp or not to warp, that is the question that faces us at the end of World 1-2, after finding the whistle in the first fortress of the first World, when you open the path to the first star road in the Donut Plains and as you toss a potion in Dream-Con next to a jar you know will take you to World 4.
Not nearly as fundamental as the question “To turtle-trap or not to turtle-trap”; this conundrum still plagues our youth. Or not.
Is it cheating? If so, who are you cheating? Bowser would have you believe you are cheating yourself.
Exhibit A:
Geek Blog – Don’t Panic!
I know you forgot your towel today. That’s ok: Don’t Panic! You didn’t realize that today was Geek Pride Day: Don’t Panic!
Don't Panic!
You don’t have a friend from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse? Don’t Panic!
Seriously, everyone needs a friend from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.
Out of fish? Well. Sorry for you.
Blame this guy. Then Don't Panic!
Happy Geek Pride Day (TowelDay)!

Geek Blog – Symphony of Science 5
The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form.
The project owes its existence in large measure to the wonderful work of Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, of Druyan-Sagan Associates, and their production of the classic PBS Series Cosmos, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals.
