Irregular’s Intel – Science as a Casual Pursuit

IrregularIntelI was watching the news the other day and it was reported that scientists had discovered some molecules that did not behave as they should. Meaning that some of the things we know about atoms may not be entirely true, which opens the door to a whole world of possibilities. As I processed this information, I got excited! It meant possible advances in our scientific knowledge as a whole, and some possibly really cool discoveries along the way. I’m more of a science enthusiast and I feel no shame in saying that. I try to build a varied wealth of knowledge and to keep myself curious about the world around me. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Science as a Casual Pursuit →

V-Yellow’s Comic Box – Thomas “Hush” Elliot

VernComicWho else is a fan of Dr. Thomas “Tommy” Elliot A.K.A. Hush? One of my favorite story arcs is the Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee and Scott Williams. The thing I loved about this villain was he just isn’t your normal psychopath that comes out of Arkham Asylum or running the streets of Gotham; this was a very close childhood friend of Bruce Wayne. He was even named after Bruce’s late father Thomas Wayne. Elliot even wanted to become a doctor just like Thomas Wayne. Before Bruce saw his parents’ demise on that dark terrible night in Crime Alley, Tommy had lost only one of his parents in a car accident. He would have lost both of them if it wasn’t for Bruce’s father saving his mother’s life. But ever since Bruce’s father saved Tommy’s mother he had a vendetta against the Waynes. The reason why he hates Bruce so bad is because he had planned for his parents to die in that fatal car accident. He cut the brakes to the car; as a young boy he had already had evil thoughts and wanted to murder people. He wanted to inherit their wealth so he could be an orphan and live his life the way he intended for it to be. Since then Tommy has been planning on a way to get back at his old friend.

Miss Dawn’s Musings – I’m Bored

Blog-MissDawnsMusings I was chatting with a friend the other day and he told me he was bored. My immediate response was “But you’re a geek. How can you be bored?” He wasn’t convinced that being a geek made a difference, so I let it go. I do, however, think it makes a BIG difference.

I’ve never understood people who claim to be bored. Likely this is because I have so many interests (some that aren’t even geeky!) that I can always find something to do. Sure, there are times when I don’t feel like doing much of anything, but I don’t consider that boredom. It’s more a lack of motivation or just exhaustion. There is never nothing to do, but that’s what most people think when they claim to be bored. Continue reading Miss Dawn’s Musings – I’m Bored →

Best Geeky Finds – The End of Fables

bestgeekyfindsImagine a world where fairy tales are real and still living among us in a secret, hidden away block of… Maine? No, this isn’t Once Upon A Time.

Before the inception of ABC’s Storybrook, Maine, authors Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham created the graphic novel series Fables, which tells the story of Snow White, the Big Bad (Bigby) Wolf, Jack, Rose Red, and many, many more fairy tales living in Manhattan after having been chased from their homelands by the Adversary and its army.

Ten years later, with 5 spin-off graphic novel series, a regular novel, a video game, a proposed (yet failed) television series, and even a board game (as Willingham reminds readers is in issue #100), the series reached its final issue/volume this past July with #150.
