All things geeky. My greatest regret is that the clothing of my time simply cannot accomodate a decent pocket protector.
I'd like to meet:
Robert Hooke, just so that I could dispense with his outrageous claims that I stole from his silly Microphagia! Also, this Jessica Simpson creature intrigues me. In what way is she related to Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie?
Music:
I mean really, what a silly question. Look at my hair? I couldn't be anything else but a hard rocker man. Me and Ozzie, right? Actually, I like all good music from the 60's right through to the present.
Movies:
Isaac Newton: The Gravity of Genius, Into the Wild, Napoleon Dynamite, Serenity, Revenge of the Penguin Tribe, V for Vendetta, Donnie Darko, Last of the Mohicans, Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum, All Quentin Tarentino films, Office Space, Shooter, In the Shadow of the Moon (8.3 on the IMDB scale, watch it!)Worst movie I have seen recently: 100 Million BC - Ummm what can I say, the cast was just terrible, the script was missing, the special effects looked like they did it all with crayons. It was so horrible that I will definitely watch it again with a dose of double popcorn...... (Yah, we watch lots of movies here!)
Television:
Eh? Television? Largely a huge waste of time. Except of course for these fine programs: 24 (Who is cooler than Jack Bauer?), CSI (Geeky, forensic science, heh), BSG (The best offering of the Sci-Fi channel), and the Firefly series which has pleasantly emerged once again on the Universal High Definition channel. Whey did they ever cancel that program???
Books:
"Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell, "Isaac Newton's Favorite Jokes", "Ender's Game" and both branches of novels that followed, "The Nature of Science", "Matter", "Motion and Forces", all Dan Brown's books: DaVinci Code, Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons, Deception Point (Hey, he went to Amherst, he must be smart right?), all the Harry Potter books, Vince Flynn's "Term Limits" because it is such a goooood idea, and too many others to list...
Heroes:
Isaac Newton, all hard working students, Captain Malcolm Reynolds from "Firefly" (credited with my favorite quote: "If someone tries to kill you, you try and kill them right back." Jack Bauer, simply because he gets right to the point. Really, if I needed someone to back me up, there just isn't anyone else I would trust as much as Jack. Oh... and Napoleon Dynamite of course!
