I love Geek Monthly magazine. It gives me a nice eclectic set of articles that more-often-than-not fit well with my personal interests. Big surprise… I know.
Unfortunately, G.M. and I had a little go around regarding a new benefit they’ve started offering with their subscriptions. Below is a transcript of the little customer service [...]

I’m standing in the water getting ready to catch Little Whirlwind for the 100th time when my bee radar starts buzzing.
There he is. A big, healthy, bumbler headed directly for my nose. “Whoa! Shit!” I sank as quickly as possible into the water. Mouth ready to go under, I opened for that final breath of [...]

For the few people that haven’t received the email, some information about the anti-religious themes of the Dark Materials Trilogy can be found here.
A cousin of mine has implied that I’ll be dammed if I support the film in any fashion. Despite disagreeing with the church [...]

I know several parents concerned with this issue, particularly when it’s time to buy clothes for their kids.
Mrs. W. has read this book and several others by Rivenbark and often laughs out loud before she shares a bit of wisdom with me from her books. Click here for the Amazon listing.

I’m done buying clothes!
If you’re on the verge of panic, please relax. I’m not planning to become a nudist. yet
Through a miracle of modern technology I’ve discovered a dummies book on reconstructing clothes, and I’ve decided to give up Geeking in favor of modifying my old clothes into contemporary styles. I’m so excited I [...]
Yesterday, MrsW, G-ma, AuntieM, and I took LittleWhirlwind to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes, a buffet style salad-bar restaurant. My son loves this place because it has all of his favorite foods (fruit, noodles, croutons, and ice-cream), and he doesn’t have to wait for service.
My son didn’t notice, but my wife and I were pretty shocked [...]
