Last Chaos

Have I mentioned that I'm such a geek? Seriously, I don't think they make many girls that qualify on the geek scale quite to the extent that I seem to dominate that scale. This being said it is absolutely no wonder that I am seriously addicted to MMORPGs. That would be massively multiplayer online role playing games for the uninitiated. I love these games in all kinds of genres and settings. The problem is that if you are addicted to more than a couple it can grow to become quite an expensive habit to maintain. Enter Last Chaos. This is a free to download and free to play MMORPG for all who might be interested or those that are simply wondering what the fuss is all about. I hope those of you who check it out find as many hours of enjoyment in the land of online gaming as I have.

300 Debuts and Battlestar Galactica Leaves fans Reeling

For my early morning update I have to say that today is the big day: 300 arrives in theaters and while I can't wait to see it, I will have to. It would seem that there are no baby sitters available this weekend and while it does appear to be an awesomely cool movie this is definitley not one that I would put in the books as kid friendly. I have a sneaky suspicion that all the usual sitters have weekend plans to see 300 themselves. Perhaps in a few weeks I will get the opportunity to see for myself this movie I've been raving about for months.

If you haven't been watching Battlestar Galactica on Sci Fi I'm not sure you have the right to call yourself a bona fide geek. However, it is not too late. You can catch up on all this seasons episodes through ITunes and there still remain a few more great episodes coming up. Trust me girls, there is some can't miss eye candy in these episodes, don't for one second think that the guys are the only ones getting a good view with this series.

I know that many of you out there were dismayed at the new series and are boycotting. However, I feel that you are robbing yourself of an excellent series that is very different from the original. This is both good and bad in many ways. But I find the depth of characters in this movie is something that was somewhat lacking in the version of my childhood. I also love the fact that they made Starbuck a female. I will admit that at first I was stunned to say the least but she grew on me. I will go no further without revealing spoilers but if you missed this week's episode "Maelstrom" you need to go and download it right now. Do not pass go. You should also take this opportunity to check out the feature on SciFi.com to make your own Battlestar Video. It is a great way to kill an hour or four and good for a few laughs.

While I am quite certain that I could go on and on about all the great things happening in geekdom across the country and around the world this seems to be a great stoppping point for the night/morning. TTFN!

Making Changes

It is probably more than slightly obvious to anyone that occasionally drops in to read that this little project of mine has been sadly neglected. I plan to change this in coming months by making this a site that will appeal a little to the geek in all of us. I hope to include gaming updates for both computer games and role playing games, information about our favorite Sci Fi television shows and movies, as well as keep you updated on the latest and greatest and girly gadgetry to hit the market. I would like this be a fun place to visit on your weekly stop as well as a font of information to those who lack the time or the inclination to surf the web for piles of information when they can come to one nifty little nook on the net in order to find it. I will be updating more regularly in the future and hope that some of you who visit will become loyal readers and engage in thoughtful conversation. TTFN!

iBaby!

A girl's gotta go to the mall sometimes no matter how hard she is working. It's always great to take a break. So I decided to go strolling around the mall. Never in my adled mind would I have thought that I would find the coolest gotta have gadget in the baby section of Sears. But find one I did. Kolcraft which manufactures many baby items and has a fairly decent reputation for baby products in the moderate price range has partnered with iPod to create the iBaby Reclining Umbrella Stroller. I'm not sure which company I am more impressed with at the moment. iPod has been a genious in creating and marketing their products. Not only do they have proprietary software which makes them indespensible once you own one. They are constantly updating, upgrading, and moving on to bigger, better pods. Kolcraft though has touched on something that I as a parent have often lamented...I can't share my music with my baby if I am wearing headphones and when we are just walking around, I think we occasionally both find ourselves wanting a little more than nature to occupy our minds.

While I think this stroller is a great idea as well as a cool partnership, I believe that Kolcraft could have used a better stroller model in which to introduce this concept. So far the only thing really going for this stroller is the iPod adapter. There is no tray or storage at all on this stroller so it isn't a very practical stroller for daily use. But kudos for the effort. Hopefully this effort will pay off enough that we will soon see other strollers following suit.
