Geek Savants Episode 58: Mouth Trumps Hand

Geek Savants:

In the most unfocused episode ever, the guys set out to respond to forum posts and wind up talking about their favorite non-geek hobby: sex. If that’s not enough to pique your interest, they also get pimp slapped by the Ho Slayer, go over their recent reads, the travesty that is American Idol, and the film ‘The Ruins.’

An Apology

I’m sorry there haven’t been any real updates to this blog in the last week. Early on, I took a right jab from dayjob responsibilities and a left hook from having to do my taxes. This was followed up by a serious uppercut from my visiting inlaw-analogs…

I basically haven’t had time to enjoy the internet, much less add to it. We should be returning to our regularly scheduled geekery sometime soon.

“Back In the Day”

Atari 800My first computer was an Atari 800XL… and this is a revision older than it was, but really, really brings me back.

Take a moment to remember your first computer… it’s how you ended up here, after all.
