  • Movie Review: Star Trek (2009)

    I am writing this, in the interest of full disclosure, as a Trekkie who kind of fell away from Star Trek towards the end of Voyager, and missed pretty much all of Enterprise. Seems pretty common, actually, from the guys I went to see the movie with. Word of caution: Here there may be spoilers…

  • Star Wars/MacGyver

    cameron I should be working on deep, well-researched posts for the Sabres early offseason, but I’m just getting cracked up over and over by this:

  • xkcd – Nerd Romance

    The comic is chock full of stuff like this, but to delve a bit deeper, read this. Basically a detailed mathmatical analysis of a date in which you attempt to see the sun set twice. I did NOT study hard enough to deal with that…

  • Very Important Question!

    [poll id=”13″] I’ve been thinking about this, as my son slowly but surely gets exposed to Star Wars thanks to kids at school (and the very fun Lego Star Wars game we have). While I’m probably not showing him these any time soon, this is the sort of thing a geeky dad think about. So…

  • No Seriously, Thanks a LOT

    I laughed at that a lot more than I should have, I think. Unfortunately, viewing that led to this showing up in the related vids. (mind scrubbing may be needed afterwards, beware)

  • xkcd – TED Talk

    Honestly, I have the same question. Is there a style guide entry for this? :) (To those of you finding this through Google: click the picture, the link will take you to Randall’s site. Read his archives!) the full saw 3d movie

  • Lego Battlestar Galactica Madness

    This is just a fraction of the 35 Vipers and other BSG-themed Lego creations shown off at ‘BrickCon‘ last year. Gizmodo has an in-depth gallery in their post on the matter, and now I want one of these. I wonder if any of these guys has a parts list or build out there…

  • Show 'Em The Horn, Arthur

    Something a little different for you, after all the Bills/Sabres suckitude.

  • He Said The Raccoon Challenged Him

    For a change of pace, some bits from the Amherst Bee Police Blotter: A bouncer was sent to St. Joseph€™s Hospital after a fight at a George Urban Boulevard nightclub. A cell phone was found after the incident, and when the officer answered it after it rang, he was able to get the name and…

  • Is It Just Me…

    …or did the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade just Rick Roll us? Happy Thanksgiving all!

  • Voter Humor

    From author and friend Scott Roberts, I give you, Frivel and Schleck:  I’m Still Going to Like You, Even If You Vote for that Blinkered Idiot. Why can’t we get along? Why so much rage? I heard that your candidate likes to date underage! And he eats little children, and spits on the flag He…

  • Geeks on Halloween: The Call of Cthubuntu

    Quickly, a few Halloween appropriate stories (I’m not a TOTAL Halloween humbug): Over at Ars: The Call of Cthubuntu An artifact that prophesies their grim return has come into my possession: the dread Cthubuntu Linux distribution€”an arcane relic of ineffable power that originated in a dark time beyond reckoning. The incomprehensible apparatus is an otherworldly…
