Saint Diego

So, I’m in California.

It’s nice, I guess. Sunny and warm, with nice breezes by the water and lots of beautiful girls in small outfits and sun-and/or-bottle-bleached hair. I’m working though, so I don’t get to go outside of my hotel at all during the day and by the time I can go out at night I’m too tired to even think about it. All of which means that I could be in Newark, NJ or on the fricking moon for all the difference it makes to me since I never see anything but the hotel ballroom and my sleeping quarters. And let me tell you, sometimes the sleeping quarters are in need of a major makeover. I mean, when was the last time florescent, lime green wallpaper was in fashion? And how about this hotels’ love affair with badly stained orange carpeting? Walking on the carpet makes me very glad that I brought my Mighty Flip-Flops of Safe Personal Hygienic Action & Adventure.

Now if only I could find a way to remove my pants without touching anything…

Ultra Suckage

So, how much do I suck?

How much do I suck for not writing in the last two weeks? How much do I suck for not finishing my ‘How to buy a computer’ series? How much do I suck for not figuring out how to implement the design for this website that I’ve had sitting on my hard drive for the last year? How much do I suck for writing a stupid post asking how much I suck?

In other news; my back is better.

Brokeback GeekMan

I broke my back on Friday.

Well, ‘broke’ is a strong word, but I definitely did something bad to my lower back and moving has become a painful thing that I’m trying to avoid. At all costs. So forgive me for not yet finishing my series on buying a computer, but I promise you it will be done as soon as I can get myself to sit comfortably for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I’ll be back soon, so no worries. And if anyone still cares, the baby is doing well and HoBiscuit is healthy and happy as she gets nice and big. Almost as if she’s swallowed a basketball that is slowly morphing into a beach ball. It’s so cute when she forgets how big she’s gotten and she tries to squeeze through a small opening between rows of seats in a restaurant. Wait. If HoBiscuit doesn’t think knocking into things with her belly is cute or funny, does that mean I’m not allowed to either?

Really? Oh. Well then, maybe it’s not cute after all.

TMG Alpha Relaunch v0.8a

Got my archives back… finally.

Took me a long time to find the backup file I had saved before my computer blew up, but at long last my old posts are back and in business! Of course, I’ve lost all the images and photos from my old blog, and there appears to be an encoding problem where all quotes and apostrophes are showing as white question marks inside of black diamonds, but hey, nothings perfect! At least I can finally see all six years’ worth of posts now. And only a week later than I hoped. It seems that everything I wanted done behind the scenes here at TMG is up and running pretty well, so I can finally get back to writing again. Well, one thing still needs to be taken care of… the design.

Soon, my flock of minions. Soon.

TMG Alpha Relaunch v0.7a

Today nice. Me feel good. [drool]

There’s much more that I want to say but I’m so busy playing Halo2 on my home theater’s brand new 106″ high definition widescreen that I’ve been finding it difficult to even take a break to eat and/or use the bathroom. My goal today is to finish Halo2 (again) and then play Gears of War until my eyes bleed. And I say ‘eyes’ because my ears are already bleeding so they don’t count. I wonder if it’s wrong to be sexually turned on by a giant, projected image of a video game?

Gotta go, time to frag some Brutes.

TMG Alpha Relaunch v0.6a

So, I’ve been thinking…

This here website, The Mighty Geek, used to be a place where I’d write humorously about things that had happened, or were happening, in my life for the amusement of myself and a select few readers who came by to mock me. After such a long hiatus though, I’ve gotten to thinking that maybe I can do better than just making you laugh at my stupidity.

Maybe I can teach you something.

I’ve been told by people (and no, not just the one’s in my head) that I know a thing or three about stuff and maybe, just maybe, I should share some of that knowledge with the world at large. Of course, I’d try my best to make the actual information as funny as I could, but the main point is that, as a website, The Mighty Geek could entertain as well as edjumacate.

Wait, I think there’s supposed to be a “k” in that word…

So, what I’d like to know is if you, the three readers I still have left after my prolonged break, would enjoy not just hearing funny stories, but also learning something when you read this site. I’m thinking of starting off easy, with a article every week or so about something I enjoy or am curious about. Things like; graphic design, politics, computer maintenance, photography, personal finance, science, books, movies or any number of other subjects that catch my fancy. Keep in mind that these edjukatuhnal articles would be in addition to my normal humorous stories, so don’t think I’m giving up my normal idiocy or anything. I’m just thinking that it might be nice to have something a little more substantial to say every now and again.

You know, important things. Things like, “I’m going to be a daddy.“

TMG Alpha Relaunch v0.4a

This weekend should be fun.

I’m hoping to import all my old MT posts into WordPress this weekend, but if that doesn’t work I’ll spend several hours curled up in a ball under my bed crying. If I do somehow manage to import all my old posts I’ll spend the rest of the weekend patting myself on the back and singing all the songs from the failed musical, “Newsies.” Loudly. Off-key.

HoBiscuit is praying that I fail.
