I made it happen: there is now a nerdtopia Yahoo! Group for everyone to join. It’s very bare bones at the moment—I’ll try and customize some things later, but for the time being… head on over and have some fun.
Pre-Creation Creation
First, there was nothing. Then, there was this guy. He didn’t have a name. He decided a name would be good. He called Himself God. And if anyone mentions that He hadn’t created language yet, He will smite them by dropping a piano on their blaspheming heads. Since God was the only thing around, He decided to create something.

After all, what’s the point of making day and night, seasons or the Super Bowl if you’re trapped in the span of a micro-second?

Dancing Geek to Geek
Dear James, Rebecca88, mistipetal and everyone else who contributed to this discussion in “Potpourri”:
I definitely approve of developing an online “geek network” to find new friends, significant others, life partners, spouses, barnyard animals… okay, maybe the categories could use a little tweaking, but I still think it’s a good idea. I haven’t the slightest idea how you might bounce it off of shawnbakken.com—a friend of mine set this site up for me—but I’ll do what I can to help out.
