I’m not really the type of person who goes to the mall and window-shops, but I do get on etsy.com and just drool. I used to think etsy was just a place where people bought handmade soap; it is that, but oh, it is so much more. Here’s a list of stuff I’ve wanted to [...]

No one in your family will sit down with you to watch all the extended editions of Lord of the Rings. Your girlfriend is not the slightest bit interested in World of Warcraft. Your coworkers don’t know who either Russell T Davies or Joss Whedon are, and your sister’s boyfriend didn’t understand why you named a [...]
Geek Bucket List: Seeing a Jonathan Coulton Concert LIVE
I became a JoCo fan the moment someone sent me the link to the World of Warcraft video of Code Monkey. I ended up looking him up, finding the Thing A Week posts, and basically have been a semi-rabid fangirl ever since. I say semi-rabid because while I have pretty much every song he’s put [...]

After my brain was through exploding, I began to really think about it from a musician’s perspective. Ignoring, for a moment, the origin of the whole [...]
Radio Ga-Ga: Geeks on the Airwaves
Every morning I sit down and check out what’s happening in the world. Aside from the news, I check about thirteen blogs that I read daily. I have a facebook, a myspace, a livejournal, and twitter. Back in the day, I used to have a blog, and an orkut account. At any given time, I [...]

Filed under Geek Life, Video Goodies
Now, before you say, “But e, JoCo is all about the CODE MONKEY and that’s why it’s geek music!”… hear me out. I am a word whore. I love words. Big words, little words, hyphenated words, words borrowed from other languages. I’m one of the few lunatics who loved the analogies section of the SAT. [...]
