No longer committing Nerd Treason
Things I’ve learned thus far from Doctor Who Series 1:
Even five billion years from now, humans are still gonna be racist
Simon Pegg looks extremely creepy with all the hair on his head bleached
Terrifying invisible Pokemon that monitor the timestream for defects are flying through the air all around us right now
There is, in fact, a way to make WWII gas masks even creepier than you...

Back this project or I will destroy everything... →
This project is so close to the finish line. So close. If just 33 of you kicked in ten bucks, we’d have this on lockdown. Ten bucks is, what, two coffee drinks at a Starbucks? You can spare two coffee drinks, dammit. Arjun has weird, hilarious ideas, and it is time we saw them.

Here's how I know religion is bullshit
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF LOVING OR MERCIFUL GOD ALLOWS THE HANGOVER TO BEGIN BEFORE I’VE EVEN GOTTEN TO SLEEP
I ASK YOU

Hold onto your butts.
Artician Dave Valeza pointed out that in First Contact, there’s an Oberth-class starship in the opening fight against the Borg cube.
Holy shit, people:
Do you know what this is? This is the littlest, shittiest ship in the entire Starfleet registry throwing down against a full-on Borg cube. This is a knock-down drag-out brawl erupting in the toughest bar in town,...

15 Overly Elaborate Sex Positions For the Bored or... →
I don’t know about these, people. Don’t some of them seem either impossible or too much work to be any good? I guess I’m glad somebody’s thinking about new ways to get it on, but I’d be hard-pressed to assert that after thousands of years of doin’ it, there are still positions yet to be imagined. If someone came up with 15 ways to throw a laptop computer into...

They're building a Star Trek theme park in Jordan,... →
I’ll believe it when I see it in 2014. Although I may have to start saving up money now for the trip. Is Jordan a cool country to visit?
Fun fact: the then-prince of Jordan had a cameo in Voyager. Looks like he’s the king now. I bet that’s why this is happening. Does that mean they’re going to work extra hard to make it awesome? I hope so, because the Neonopolis in Vegas,...

You’d think this would be a “fun with chain translation” thing along the lines of English As She Is Spoke, but it’s … something else entirely.

Current status
I’m at McCarron International waiting for my flight home to San Francisco after an excellent trip to Vegas [rapture_joke.txt], and the first thing I did after checking my email was load Tumblr and see how many Dashboard pages back I had to go before I saw something familiar. 70. The answer is 70 pages. You people are a bunch of maniacs.
I was here for what was essentially a combined...

What was learned
At Green Apple Books today, looking for something to read on a future trip, I couldn’t help being cutestruck by a couple of the girls browsing the shelves, which immediately touched off a cyclical round of internal debate that went something like
10 Maybe I should try talking to her 20 Man no, nobody likes being hollered at in public 30 It’s not like I’m catcalling from across...

Pan-Dimensional Vending →
I can’t remember how I originally got there, but this particular item in the SCP series is my hands-down favorite. As it’s essentially a repository for nuggets of nerd creativity, the quality of the SCP archive varies considerably, but there are probably far worse ways to lose a few hours if you’re bored at the office.

Crucial update
As I type this, two torrents are busy gathering and delivering to my computer the entirety of Doctor Who from the Christopher Eccleston season on up through season 5 (I had to download season 5 separately because for some reason the first torrent has all of those episodes in .mkv format, and each file is like 1GB each — who the fuck does that?). When I’ll have the actual time to watch...

What it is
I’ve been drunk and sober twice thus far today, and if I don’t get to sit down on the couch with a giant glass of water and a couple of apples and watch The Dark Knight within the next 30 minutes, every single cell in my body will lyse simultaneously and end my life

thechosenjuan:
The fact that this is basically going unheard of is honestly sickening to me. I don’t usually buy into the whole “oh no mass corporations are hellbent on killing everyone for money” but I’m genuinely bothered that this isn’t being broadcast more. I understand why companies aren’t investing (it’s a generic drug already being produced), but this should be widespread information.

boballthetime:
I would make some comment decrying the favoritism of numerous male superhero shows vs the cancellation of a heroine’s show before it airs, but the best I could come up with is: They aired the BS that was “The Cape” they should give the go-go booted, bouncing-titted pilot of fail equal airtime…but, somehow, the argument seems to ring hollow. :P
Bob’s got a point here,...
