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, From the Vadergrifts

Happy Holidays

Poor Vader just can’t catch a break!

The GeekWife plays the occasional cello.  I hope she hearts this.  :)

Geek Blog – What Teachers Make

GeekWife is wrapping up her “Week alone with the class” portion of her student teaching.  I’m very proud of her; she’s only told me of a couple of students who ended up crying.  All kidding aside, she puts in a lot of work in the off hours to finish her college education and earn her teaching certificate and I’m frankly amazed at her perseverance.  A co-worker sent me a link to this video and I thought it would be great to share.  You might recognize him from his performance of “Speak with Authority.”

Taylor Mali has many great poetic performances and would have been my favorite English Teacher!

To the GeekWife: I love you, you’re doing great!

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.

SpoCon2011

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.

Geek Blog – Words Hurt

Words of advice to “keep our future janitors and sports reporters in school just long enough so they don’t become a burden on our tax system.”  Don’t be a GeekBully

Words Hurt, so bite your tongues, fellow geeks.  Just once a day.

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.
