waaaay back in december, my friend jimmy aquino was kind enough (or on too much of a birthday high to know better!) to allow me to babble about my book on CNI. jimmy sang a very special song that will now be known as the “i love geeks official theme”. although i still wish he’d sung the high notes.

speaking of CNI, i just might be helping out at their booth during new york comic con, february 6th - 8th. i will be disguised as ryuk to avoid any “booth babe” references (thanks again, jimmy!)

on 12/21, my hometown (or, the place i was born) newspaper florida today ran a blurb on i love geeks!  forgive my poor scan.  am still experiencing holiday hangover.

speaking of holiday gifts, wondering what to get the charming, affable geek or nerd in your life? cool, i thought so. check out:
my 2008 geek gift guide on DAME magazine
while you’re at it, go ahead and read an excerpt from i love geeks on DAME.

they’re both on the homepage right now for easy access.

go get it!

or, if you prefer to shop from the comfort of your home computer:

I Love Geeks on Amazon

I Love Geeks on Barnes & Noble

have i mentioned it makes the perfect holiday gift?

by carrie jo tucker.  go get it.

this particularly boring post has but one function: to let the masses know the book release party for i love geeks will be taking place sometime in mid-january, in a land far, far away…or maybe just downtown manhattan. you are ALL invited, each and every one of you. rest assured there will be free stuff involved to secure your attendance.

stay tuned, won’t you?

ha ha not really (i swear), but when i do i learn things like this: barack obama gave a vulcan salute when he saw leonard nimoy in the crowd at a recent event. live long and prosper? let’s friggin’ hope.

was just informed by my publisher that i love geeks’ release date has been bumped UP - zomg and all that.  the new date seems to be in the neighborhood of december 10th.  yikes and yay!  press, i can has halp?

network:  this is a connected group of computers, such as your work network.  to nerds, “network” does not mean drinking all the free booze at an industry party in order to better relate to co-workers.  nor does it mean hooking up with the IT guy in the server room.

re-boot:  this is the standard IT guy answer to any problem.  “doug, my windows won’t open.”  “re-boot.”  “doug, my computer is saying ‘fatal error’.”  “re-boot.”  “doug, my computer seems to be smoking as if it’s on fire.”  “re-boot.”

leprechaun 4: in space (1996) this fourth movie in the leprechaun series is so outrageous you can’t help but laugh the whole way through it.  the hero travels through space to marry an alien queen so he can glom on to her title.  leprechaun gets pissed off and wants the princess as his own, so he follows our hero into space.  i repeat:  leprechaun follows our hero into space. the only leprechaun movie more out of control than this one is leprechaun: back 2 tha hood.

star wars holiday special (1978)  chewbacca’s family?  his goofy, totally annoying son?  han solo pushing a storm trooper to his death out of their tree house?  do.  not.  want.
