A Link and an I Think....

First, the link:

and, yeah, like the author, I too found Jar Jar Binks beyond irritating but, yeah, like the author, I came out of the movie wanting to be a Jedi.

Now, the "I Think":

I think I (and you!) need to buy Wil Wheaton's newest book being released next week. No, I know we need to. Memories of the Future, Vol. 1 - Wil's ep-by-ep look back at the first season of ST:TNG promises to be everything any Trekker with a sense of humor could want it to be. Check out podcasted excerpts weekly on his blog: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com Totally worth it, dude.

Can I Admit...

http://www.geekologie.com/2009/08/spoiled_dad_makes_son_ywing_bu.php

My dad built us a perfectly good (and, actually, pretty cool) bunkbed/wall/shelving unit combo but this... I want this so badly it hurts!!

So what if my husband has no urge to sleep in a fighter!!

The Neverending Project

I keep having to put this project aside due to the invasion of Real Life, but today I picked up my little Geek Scoring Sheet and started poking at it, making notes and thinking about format.

What I'm going to do is work out the kinks in Excel (because it's easy to work with) then convert the whole shebang into a pretty PDF at one time.

To that end, I've uploaded the rough draft excel file. It's not pretty, but it's just a brief brainstorm and I'm looking for input.

If you have the time to take a look, you'll see that I've made a cover sheet, then the tabs at the bottom have separate sheets for each category. SciFi/Fantasy is the most complete sheet... comic and gamer categories. I'd like to include the categories of band/choir, theater, and academic geek... but I have no clue how to quantify these qualities. I'm beginning to think I'll need to have those on the front sheet as maybe a sub-class?

Anyway - I'm a little incoherent tonight, so forgive the broken thoughts in this post... but input is welcome if you have the time. Hopefully I'll pick this up again before another three months passes.
