Be Careful of Papercuts
When 2018 rolled around, I made a New Year’s Resolution to get back into reading. My goal: I wanted to read 300 books during 2018. So far, I’ve managed to read 30 books, so… I’m a bit off the pace I set for myself. Regardless, I’ve managed to read (and re-read) some great books so… Continue reading

Review: Star Wars: Phasma
In case you didn’t already know, I am a HUGE Star Wars fan (Sith For Life!). So every new toy, movie, cartoon, comic, or book is greedily examined by me, contemplated over; and, if my budget allows, purchased. Despite being an “uber-fan,” I have been known to be highly critical of “The Prequels” and George… Continue reading

Review: How to Win at the Sport of Business: If I Can Do It, You Can Do It
Most bucket lists start off with swim in the world’s largest swimming pool or fly in a hot air balloon over the Loire Valley or run the New York Marathon, etc. I guess these are great ideas. But for me, my list is very much a “Geek’s Bucket List.” I’m an older geek, and as… Continue reading

Review: The Escape Artist
Well, this review took longer coming to fruition than I anticipated. Between my 9-5 job (which isn’t actually 9-5) and reading this book and Mark Cuban’s How to Win at the Sport of Business: If I Can Do It, You Can Do It AND playing video games, this past week has been rough! Twenty-four hours in… Continue reading

Review: Ember Temperature Control Ceramic Mug
As a geek, techie, nerd — whichever you want to call me, I love smart devices; you know, things that can connect to my wi-fi network and allow me to control them from my laptop or phone. Hell, when my younger daughter was born, I built my own baby monitor out of an old PC,… Continue reading

Review: Don’t Let Go
Growing up with hemophilia meant a lot of down time for me. And by a lot, I mean A LOT! I spent more time in the hospital or confined to home during high school than I actually did in high school! Back then, I would read every chance I got; and more often than not,… Continue reading

Review: Ghost Recon Wildlands Closed Beta
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands wasn’t on my radar when it was announced at E3 2015. It wasn’t until I took part in the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Siege beta back in 2015 and one of my squad mates, Bubble4life9, asked me if I was going to get it. Since I had just been killed… Continue reading

Review: Beta Test Movie
I love movies. I really love movies that are geek/nerd related. I especially love movies that are geek AND take place in or around Seattle. When I saw the trailer for Beta Test, I knew I had to see it. So I sat down in my favorite spot on the couch, fired up my Xbone… Continue reading

Review: Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2
Before I start my review of Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2, I should take a moment to give a full disclosure. I am a comic book fan, have been almost my entire time on this earth, 43 years. That being said, I’m not a comic book nerd (that is not a disparaging moniker, it is a… Continue reading

The Tanners Ride Again
When I first read Netflix was bringing the Full House cast back for a new show (titled Fuller House), I thought, “WHY?” Girl Meets World (Disney’s reboot/continuation of 1993’s Boy Meets World) was already a nostalgia killer; did Netflix think they would be able to do better with Fuller House? I was 15 when Full… Continue reading
