Geek Reading
According to Technology Blog these are the top 20 geek novels. I've read five (the top three, Dune and Stranger in a Strange Land). How many have you read?
(Steve again. Really Steve and Worldgineer are the only two sending me stuff for this November thing. Don't the rest of you have the goods you're just not sending me?)

Yeesh. I'm having trouble coming up with topics for my own blog these days. Sorry!
OhthankGodI'mnotageek! I've not read a single one of those books.
Sarah, I have a request for another Caption Contest. Can I get an "Amen!"?

I think we have a winner. Give that man a matte black keyboard.
Marie, I would hold another captin contest if it weren't for the fact that I have yet to finish the "awards" for the last one. I'm supposed to write/rewrite three songs for three winners (last time I pick three winners) and I can't find the time or, dare I say it, energy (Oh, no you didn't!)
You need to stop offering that as a potential prize. Stick to the dollar store stuff. Or, better yet, just a virtual congrats and hearty handshake. No need to put yourself out. I for one would play anyway.
Yeah, make your life a little simpler.
