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 – Days 2, 3 and 4
I realized quickly during Independence Day Weekend that I’ll not be able to post a pic every day. I’m still ensuring that I take a picture each day, but not necessarily post them that same day. Many websites that outline this challenge suggest uploading at a minimum of once per week, if only to minimize any building overhead to stave off feeling overwhelmed by it all. Additionally, I doubt all of my daily pictures will be geeky (although I’ll try), so I’ll not bore my audience with posts flowers, clouds etc. You can still see links to all of the pictures as they come out here (this site) or here (Photobucket).
Without further ado, here’s Day 002, with the others after the jump.
Day 002 - "Naturally"
I dug out my most beat-up D20 for this shot, taken on a WoW:TCGj playmat, just before an epic game of Magic with GeekWife.
Geek Blog – 3 Minutes
Vimeo user and action actor Ross Ching with a take on “The Most Dangerous Game” from a long time ago and possibly a galaxy far, far away.

Who is that who follows him, Lara Croft? WTF?
Cheers on the choreography, Ross.

Geek Blog – This Might Be the Christmas Special You’re Looking For
Frustrated that Lucas has buried the now iconic Star Wars Christmas Special so deep that even finding a copy on IRC is difficult, the creative genius at GamerVision have crafted their own version, using shots from the original trilogy.
Happy Holidays and May the Force Be With You

Geek Blog – Mega Wall
8-bit art FTW! My Mega Man wall has finally come to fruition. From the moment we moved into our new house, I wanted to add some geek zest to a few rooms. I’ve already posted the beginnings of the Mario Bathroom (which will bleed over into the little geek’s room). For this project, I used an awkward wall in our office to post the 8×10 glossy prints of the Mega Man stage select screen. Mega Man 2 is my test case. Eventually, I’d love to move to digital picture frames, so I can cycle the bosses (or even turn some squares to empty) on a timer, by season, month, whatever.
More pictures after the jump.

Worry not, master, I'll handle this insignificant rebel!
