Geek Quote of the Day

May 31 2012 No Comment  19 views

Mathematics is the only infinite human activity. It is conceivable that humanity could eventually learn everything in physics or biology. But humanity certainly won’t ever be able to find out everything in mathematics, because the subject is infinite. Numbers themselves are infinite.

      - Paul Erdős
      Cited in The man who loved only numbers: the story of Paul Erdös and the search for mathematical truth by Paul Hoffman, 1998.

Paranormal Investigators

  • Calvin and Hobbes: The Video Game
  • Etsy’s GeekyGamerShop is selling super-geeky bowties. The Minecraft Creeper Bow is my personal favorite, but you can’t go wrong with one featuring the guy Who made the bow tie cool again.
  • Super Mario Bros Fish Tank
  • You know you’re marrying a cool chick when she let’s you have a Minecraft Wedding.

Comics

  • The cover of Every Issue of the Avengers for your browsing pleasure… if you can enjoy browsing comics without a middle aged man in a ponytail snarking at you from behind the trading card counter.
  • Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch and Steven Moffat Visit Marvel Comics
  • Will Alan Scott, DC’s Original Green Lantern, Be Reintroduced As A Gay Man? Hope not. There are just too many better choices in the JSA continuum.

Aperture: Lab Ratt

May 30 2012 No Comment  60 views

“Aperture: Lab Ratt” (Portal Fan Film) by Synthetic Picturehaus

Aperture: Lab Ratt is a live action interpretation of VALVe’s web comic
‘Portal 2: Lab Rat’ and follows the story of the schizophrenic hero
behind the walls; Doug Rattmann. You remember Doug, the guy who did all the paintings you find tucked behind the walls in the game. It starts a little slow, but once things start to go poorly, the flick really hits its stride.  

Lab Ratt runs for 14 minutes, so have some cake handy before hitting play.
