Time to dust this sucker off!

Yup, I think it's time to get back to this long neglected part of my life. I really miss doing the Nightly Nerdlinger News posts. Life got hectic and work has been overwhelming the last year and so I had to lay this burden down. But I've decided that I need a place to rekindle my love of all things Geeky and Nerdly and this is the best place to put it. I'll link to it from both my Facebook and Google+ profiles and see if that helps generate some interest, now that the Yuku nee' EZBoards I used to frequent are pretty much a deadzone. I plan to focus on Games of all kinds and to a lesser extent Movies, Television and websites in a nerdly vein. So stay tuned true believers, I'm comin' at ya!

Stop now, what's that sound...

That's the sound of silence because today is the Internet Radio Day of Silence. While I could rant here about the imminent demise of internet radio, about the loss of some great stations like Carp Circles or Directional Wave, about the loss of a venue for bands that doesn't require deep pockets or industry connections. But I'm not going to do that. It's been done by better than I. But I will add my support to the cause. It's a misguided law, paid for by big record labels, and sounds the death nell of free internet radio due to royalty rates that are impossibly high for the majority of internet radio producers. July 15th internet radio dies, will you let it, or will you write you congressman and demand that they review this law and keep the music playing? Go to Savenetradio and see how you too can lend your support to the DJs of this medium.

Blogging

Well, I'm discovering all kinds of Blog crap since I decided to migrate to Blogger. This Authority stuff's pretty cool. I hope it doesn't make my site too busy looking. I like a nice clean layout, but I'm trying to figure out the best functionality of the stuff available. So for a while at least it looks like I'll be a bloated rat. What stuff do you like using on your blogs?

Time, time, time

I'm thinking that I'll be an evening poster for this blog. So if you intend to follow it, don't expect it to come like the morning paper, think evening edition.

Well, after months of six day work weeks I actually have a three day weekend. I'll probably spend it watching war movies ( I'm hoping that "12 O'clock High" and "Gung-ho" will be on, two of my favorite WWII movies. Maybe if I am feeling really lazy and have nothing better to do I'll watch "A Bridge Too Far" and "Kelly's Heroes", yeah! ). We'll probably go to a neighborhood barbeque with a guy that just got back from Afghanistan and another guy that's going to Africa at the end of the summer.

Tonight I think I'll watch a John Cleese movie I got from Netflix called "John Cleese's Wine for the Confused". We've been going to World Market a lot and buying various wines and while we're no connoisseurs, we know what we like. I favor Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Gewurztraminer and sweet fruity reds and Beaujolais Nuevos. We've found some wonderful dessert wine at an Amish winery in Ohio, we pick up a case every time we go up there. They're called Brittenbach farms and they make great sweet wines.

Once again into the breech...

Well, yet another web log I'll be attempting to actually keep current. Maybe this time it'll stick. I'm not in the mood to actually post right this minute, but I'm sure I'll feel chattier tomorrow.
