A Geekish View of Life

I am an insufferable geek, although my girlfriend tells me it’s cute.  I also have a long and abiding desire to get my crap together.  Through productivity guru Merlin Mann (yeah his name is really Merlin) I came across the idea of the “Life Hack” a way to shortcut the things in life that could be more efficent.  This also introduced me to the site LifeHacker.com [link]  The huge amount of life hacks there is like drinking from a fire hose.  Anyway here’s a few highlights that I came across while clearing out my RSS reader.

• 10 Commandments of Public Photograhy
• Worst Foods in America
• Adventures in Rechargeable Batteries 

There is plenty more to be had there.  Go check it out, there are also tons of linux/windows/mac tips, trick, and small hacks too!

Visualization: movie box office data - Boing Boing

Last one today of the interesting things I found today.  No not all of them were new but … I found them today.  With data like this … why is the MPAA so freaked out over  piracy.  I don’t mean piracy is right but … is it actually causing the problems they think it is?

Nails of the Crucifixion on eBay - Boing Boing

THE nails of the crucifiction? Yeah … okay. File this under “you-were-joking-right” catagory.

Nails of the Crucifixion on eBay - Boing Boing

From the “you-must-be-joking” files. The nails used to crucify Christ? Really?

Treehouse ruins: the archaeology of kids ruins - Boing Boing

Cool collection of photos of abandoned tree houses.

Murakami takes graffitied Murakami billboard - Boing Boing

Astonishingly cool story about graffiti art that was actually appreciated as art!

Well, with my schedule as full as it seems to be right now … re-evaluating this is just gonna have to wait.  Till then I’ll keep posting.

So today I got a raise.  Which is awesome, especially in light of the fact that I made a serious error the other day.  They are aware that it wasn’t cool, but I’ve been doing so many other things right that they decided to let me have it anyway.

Next is the show that I and few of my friends are working on getting launched.  We’ve got a long way to go but when we actually have something to show for it, you can bet your bacon it’ll show up here to.  I’ll also probably be posting up thoughts and frustrations as we go though it.

I’ll be adding some links to the blog roll … some time in the near future.  Basically if you want a more immediate view of what I’m doing you can follow me on pownce and twitter: geekosupremo at both of them.

That’s all for now.  Take care all.

Hey all.  This is the first post I’ve put up for some time.  Why.  I’m busy as all get out.  It’s not much of an excuse but … it’s what I got.  I want to re-evaluate what this blog is about … it’s kinda gotten meh to me.  So I’m gonna spend some time, next month looking it over and I may delete lots of content and ’start over’ again.  More on that as it happens.  Basically this is to say I’m not dead yet.

SILLOF’s WORKSHOP: Gaslight Justice League Custom Figures - via boingboing

Proving once again why I love BoingBoing. They find the coolest stuff. This one really blows me away. This guy has some mad skills!

Cool Hunting: Amapo

Well it was bound to happen some time … it’s just kinda weird how it looks like the 90’s. Not just a little but nearly identical. Fashion is so weird.
