I'm so nerdcore, I shit ones and zeros

About Me

Currently unemployed (again) gamer geek living in downtown Seattle with my girlfriend and trying to do something with my life. Writing, gaming, surfing online, all the usual crap, you know how it is.

Leave a comment here!

My Interests

Not to belabor the points, but gaming, writing, music, movies, books (especially Terry Pratchett), learning Flash and the Aurora toolset for Neverwinter Nights.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody, really. I'm taken care of in the 'girlfriend' department, so anyone else, really. Gamers, musicians (I'm no good at that shit, myself, but I think it's cool in other people), movie or book nerds, chronic con-attendees, anything like that's cool.

Music:

Optimus Rhyme, mc chris, MC Frontalot, Rammstein, Laibach, Skinny Puppy, Sister Machine Gun, Moby, Faith No More, The Vandals, NOFX, Leonard Cohen . . . there are more, but they're mostly on my friends' list, so they're easy to find. Except for Rappy McRapperson - I can't find a profile for him, damnit.

Movies:

The Matrix (the sequels, not so much, but I think I liked 'em more than most people did), The Usual Suspects, The Game, The Lord of the Rings (series), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Mallrats, Any Given Sunday, Dark City

Television:

I don't watch it. Not trying to be pretentious, I just don't have the means to. Though when I'm somewhere where I CAN watch TV, I tend to watch some Adult Swim, the Daily Show, and any stand-up on Comedy Central I can find.

Books:

The whole Discworld series, Snow Crash, Diamond Age, The Baroque Cycle, Distraction, Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, America: The Book, Everything's Eventual

My Blog

Weekend alone.

I'm at home alone now - the first weekend that I've been alone in about 2 years . . . wait.  That's not true.  Syn went to Portland a couple months ago.  OK, the SECOND time.  Not ...

PAX - Night One

Although, of course, there were musicians I talked to tonight, I have a hard time classifying this in any category other than 'life'.  I'm going to make this short, because misspellings abound, a...

JOY! ELATION!

My girls have been reminded that I exist, and as such, I'm going to get to work tomorrow (technically today) by heading out with Syn and going on a little shopping spree for gifts to send them.  ...

About to leave for work, but . . .

You know, this sort of news should be a disturbing break from the ordinary . . . it SHOULD be completely abnormal and a rare occurrence, but after having seen Taboo Video (place I used to work) promot...

Fuck you, alcohol!

You know, it wasn't a bad idea to only take spend $10 on drinks last night.  It wasn't a bad idea to run back to the house (2 blocks away) and drink MORE between sets - saving money, right? ...

Frosted Christcakes.  So, we're here at Norwescon.  There's video, we'll probably put some of it up sometime (on here, not on the Nerdcore News, of course, 'cause it's not news)  Lemme ...

Observations.

Doing a little research into the whole "MySpace ownership" thing in hopes of doing a bit of a story on it. On the bright side, if you have music posted, the moment you remove it, Fox . . . well, News...

K. No doing the news today.

I'm going to be out all day, and rather than just do a quick, crappy vid where I say, "This happened" when you could see that just by checking Front's MySpace, I'm going to send a few messages to get ...

More news

Surfing between pages, looking for new news, and just now (don't blame me, I never SAID I was observant, really) noticed that for similar reasons to Ultraklystron, MC Frontalot has removed his music a...
