So one time I was in a fabric store and noticed some great faux fur that reminded me of of Tauntaun fur. Immediately I texted my buddy Malaki (check out his awesome Iron Man costume!) and was like “could you make me a Tauntaun head outta foam so I can have a Tauntaun skin rug?”
He laughed for about five minutes then said “Of course!” He presented it to me at my wedding. It’s Hothian tradition, after all.

Keeping with the App theme, my brother’s latest iPhone app was just released on iTunes. It’s called iWeapons Guns Pro and is pretty kickin’. It’s got four different weapons to choose from, including a flame thrower, which makes me happy.
On an unrelated note I totally had a dream last week where a Terminator was after me but luckily I had a shotgun app on my phone; not an animated app but an actual shotgun. Of course I kept on forgetting to check the safety (the vibrate/ring switch of course).
I’ve got three coupon codes if anyone wants to check it out. Just leave a comment telling me which weapon would destroy terminators most efficiently ..read more

The Keeper of Lists had a fine one several years back that involved lines from Star Wars and Pants. I haven’t snorted that much in a while, and have decided that “pants of triumph” is now going to be in my common vernacular.

My fabulous sisters have out done themselves again when it comes to Christmas time/Nerdy Present time. What to give the offspring that has everything? Why, business cards of course – superhero business cards, and badges, and the bane of every superhero – paperwork.
The best part of the evening was when my youngest nephew – who’s name starts with an “S” protested that his name was spelled wrong on his manila envelope, an envelope that read “Top Secret.” Ah, to laugh at youth.
My sister Apryl has templates of all the paperwork for the Superhero Kit on her blog. It’s a good read (my favorite line item - “communications with sea ..read more

Richard Holdman set the standard for intense Christmas light displays in 2007. So intense that in 2008 his light display was moved from his gated community house to a property owned by his parents. So, all you GeekSixers that are in Utah for Christmas this year, drive past Mr. Holdman’s display and let us know how it is up close and personal. For directions and more information, please visit the Holdman Christmas page. ..read more

So the band that played after mine at the concert a few weeks ago, they had a song called “Orphan Train” that talks about the trains that took orphans west to have farmers adopt them. Thing is, some of the kids weren’t really orphans, they just came from families too poor to feed all their children. So at the diner after the concert a few of us were discussing what really constitutes an orphan. Would you be an orphan if your parents turned to zombies? What if they’re a vampire or a werewolf, what then? Could your mom still be your mom if she is reanimated flesh? I took an ..read more

Today one of my best buddies and bandmate turns 30. Saturday, in celebration we had a zombiewalk on Hollywood blvd. As Jeff said, “what better way to celebrate your impending death than to be a zombie?”
Drew and I met up with Larry and got ready at the store.
We met up at the North Hollywood Subway station and enjoyed each others costumes before heading out!
Drew’s “getting attacked” face seems a little bored, but believe me, that’s his “turning into a zombie” face.
We made it down to Hollywood and lurched our way out onto the street. The escalator stopped on our way up, which Drew thought kinda felt like the people were trying ..read more

Can was use fun to change people’s behavior for the better? You bet your eema we can. Maybe my bachelor’s degree in Recreation Management and Youth Leadership is somewhat rooted in that theory. Check out these random acts of geekiness that demonstrate The Fun Theory: the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

Umm…this video makes me laugh and slightly queasy at the same time. Perhaps it’s because my parents have always had poodles and my first dog was a white standard poodle named ..read more

Once there was a zombie movie that loved other zombie movies. It was called “Shaun of the Dead.” It had a fan named Autumn.
Now Autumn was just a little zombie fan. The appreciation was there, (due mostly to watching her sister’s boyfriend play Resident Evil II when she was 11) but she did not have much zombie knowledge. As often happens in life, doubt crept into what she knew she liked, and she was misled, misled by the nerds.
So she tried the old things. But colorized black and white movies weirded her out. These were not her zombies.
She remembered her zombies were Popular English Character Actors, ..read more
