It's been a year and a half. THE THINGS I'VE SEEN. I'll have a quickfire round of my thoughts of the past in a bit. One Of Many

I was feeling kinda down then I stumbled onto this epic video (sorry embedding was disabled).  It can't help but make you smile.  I am not sure about doing this the prescribed 3 times a day, but I will be sure to try once or twice. -Wes

I was going to write a succinct review on the Season 7 premiere of "Doctor Who", but I now have an inability to write very much on that subject for today. Instead I would like to express my sadness for a man who was one of the most enjoyable actors I've ever seen. Many of you may know him from The Green Mile, but to my memory I first noticed him in either Married With Children as a bouncer, or

The idea here is not to rate anything, but to say, "You should read this and that, because these are the comics I care for." However, if I receive requests for other comics, outside of my personal reading, I will oblige and give you my opinion of the material. First up I have Before Watchmen: Minutemen #3. This issue tackles the aftermath of the Comedian's attack of Silk Spectre, as well

It is Labor Day and since I have the day off from my actual work I'd like to share some updates. First, a new  segment called "Dim Sum and Geekdom" will be happening where The Every-Geek and I will be interviewing various people over a meal of dim sum. I actually had a chance to set up such an interview in the future with indie rock band A Silent Film, whenever they happen to be in the area

Good day, vagabonds of the internet. In time I hope you find an enjoyable commentary on the exciting field of geekery. In the coming months I hope to share some reviews of things I enjoy, as well as some I don't. Topics shall include music, movies, comics, literature, alcohol, video games, gadgets, tools, and other wondrous sundries. Till then I leave you with this: Sincerely, OneOfMany

When I was a child my mother forbade my father from buying me any kind of toy gun.  I assume it was out of fear that a cap gun would make me grow up to be a professional killer (I wish, they make some serious cash I hear and have alot of travel).  This annoyed my father as he grew up in the 50s when cowboys, gumshoe detectives, and there gun totting

Truth be told, It has been over a month since I first intended to do this project.  But with the school year (or two different ones I am involved with) coming to an end, slowly finding and acquiring the needed supplies (de-soldering wick beats the de-soldering pump's ass btw), and having a car parked in my workshop for 2 weeks solid (I can only really work in it while my house mate is

I have always had a Jones for anything that denotes order and elegance in funtion and eficancy- that is possibly why I had always been drawn to taking apart mecahnical devices (getting them back together has proven problematic).  Sure I love the flow of electrons as much as the next guy, but they some how lack the art of gears, worm-screws, and cranks.  I was pleasantly surprised

I was born, raised, and plan on dying in the American South.  I am a real southerner, whose family has been in the "Old Dominion" (thats Virginia) since it was fairly new to the settlers (at least as early as the 1640's).  I have ancestors who defended this commonwealth in the Revolutionary War, French and Indian War, the Civil War (though at least one prominent member of my family

Ok, I know it is important to teach kids certain things about safety and what may harm them, but this is just wrong.  It might just be my warped mind, but I kept getting images of deranged blue fluff balls trying to perform oral sex.  This is a thing that is near the top of my list of "Not Cool THings". But take the message of the video to heart- If you are a creep

Remember this guy?  That is right, He's the Noid and he wants your damn Pizza.  Just like a college roommate, if you leave your pie sitting around for just a second it is gone. The thing that I really love about this marketing Icon was that some how he permeated our culture so deep, that the latest and greatest gaming system of the day, The NES,

Bento boxes are a tradtional Japanese (and a few other parts of asia) lunch that is carreid to work or school.  As it was explained to me by 2 diffrent half Korain freinds (both have very tradtional Koreian mothers), the meals are preapared at home by the mother almost as a symbol of the level of devotion the mother has to her children and spouse.  They regailed me with stories of hot

It's Earth Day again, and you know what that means.... A day full of reminders from passionate individuals of how you are not just failing yourself, your familly, your species, but also the very planet you live on. Don't get me wrong, I love the planet and a good portion of the things on it, but this annual celebration of half hearted attempts to be a little less

I love the way Japan does everything on a level we just can't compete with.  They work harder and they play harder (and much weirder).  It's like they are on Ritalin half the day and drunk the other half.  I have gotta get out there one day to hang with those crazy SOBs.

I am not talking about not getting laid b/c her boy-friend is on a 42 hour Modern Warfare marathon. An Article a Yahoo News cover the story of a woman that blames the Wii Fit for her uncontrollable sexual urges.  If this does not make every man buy their lady friends Wii Fit, nothing will.

So I got bored one night (as I do all too often), had no where to go and nothing to do (I need more exciting friends), so my roommate and I decided a beer would be nice (meaning we were awake and sober), so we opened the mini fridge finding this sad sight........ Ok, this probably requires some explanation, b/c I don't want people think that I buy Nat'i. I swear some random guest brought it

Hollywood is full of people with lots of money and very little in the way of a new idea. That is why all movies seem to be based on books, older movies, TV shows, and yes even video games.Today I will celibrate the fore mentioned source with the most inconsistant results- Video games. After all they made the Super Mario Brothers Movie and they made the Tomb Raiders. Inconsistant at best.Here

Google owns me. Plan and simple, Google is like my sugar mama girlfriend that I have told way too many secrets too; making a possible breakup very ugly. I use it for internet searches, e-mail hosting for all of my emails (even the ones with my custom domains), picture sharing, finding directions, wasting time staring at the planet, keeping up with all my RSS feeds ( I really love this one),

So I am trying to figure out a better look for the page. Not sure what I want to do with it. I am thinking of trying to do some kind of retro game look but not chosen an approach yet. So what are your thoughts? Get rid of the black background? Would Atari or NES be a better path? for that matter any particular game to style after? I am open to suggestions here. Leave a post

Anyone who has been paying any attention to the outside world recently would have noticed that pirates are getting slapped around something fierce. Mind you, some are a dicks and have it coming (crazy African kids with guns) and but others are just all about copyright infringement.It is no big shock that I don't support holding people hostage at gun point, but my feelings on those criminals who

As I restart on this Blogging adventure I am trying to get down to spirit of the site. Its simple goal is to provide a view of the Geek World to the others in and around the Geek community. Looking at the Dictionary.com definition of Geek gives some idea of the audience of this potential blog (observe 1-b). The only trouble is that I have no real full drive on any one area of interest.

So I will admit it- I failed. I let this little Blog project of mine die before it was every really born. Trouble is I was never really happy with the look of the page and had never really chosen what the direction of the commentary would be. I don't want to be like every other geek-centric blog out there; bitching about how every episode of their least favorite sci-fi show is an affront to
