To Boldly Read The Geek Links
It’s a beautiful Sunday, 85 degrees with no cloud in site. All your friends are sitting on a deck drinking a pitcher of Bud Light and watching Talladega. But you don’t like the sun, beer, or NASCAR. You’d rather sit inside and play on the Internet all day.
That’s cool dude. We do it sometimes too. While the sun shined through the window today I found myself stuck watching the 4 new Star Trek clips. Luckily I bounced out of my trance and shut the laptop, but not before buying my tickets for opening night – Thursday, 5/7, 9:55, Columbiana Grande.
You should come. If you do, you might just see me in full Star Trek uniform complete with weapons and other accessories.
Which uniform you ask?
A TNG science officer’s uniform. Oh yeah.
So, if you are stuck inside today and eager to catch up on some good geek news, start with the 4 new Star Trek clips. Then move on to the latest Geek Links we read this week.
