It's a Geekblog Wednesday, So What?!?

Okay, so I'm not going to say anything much on Robin Williams' passing. It's honestly too fresh and I feel like I've lost my favorite uncle. I will however take a nod to Amanda Palmer and insert my own homage to the man.
O Captain, My Captain.
I'm up on my kitchen counter, which is more my desk than anything.

And now for something completely different.

LifePro Tip: When having children and chickens please do yourself a favor and walk ahead of the children when going to feed the chickens. That way, you can spot a dead chicken(or two) before your six year old daughter does, and you can avoid the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Plus you can also avoid the practical 5 year olds wondering out loud when we can eat the chicken...in front of the six year old thereby throwing her into another fit of hysteria(we're talking hands-in-the-air wailing, thrown herself down on the knees kind of despair).

We'll turn this around with a geek post.

Coolest Business Card Idea Ever

Paper USB Business Cards... it's brilliant and I live in the future. This needs to be a thing that is widely spread out of its sheer cleaver design. PAPER! Paper, people. genius. I want.

Except it's expensive. Ridiculously so only for 200 cards but it might be worth it. What an impact you would have on whomever you would give that to. Talk about a radical first impression.

Yes I use the word radical, and no I am not going to change it. Savvy?

Geek Tuesdays

OMG IT'S GEEK TUESDAYS.

AND OMG IT'S A BORG MINI FRIDGE.

The Borg is my favorite villain(s)(can I say that they are plural or singular because they are one in many...) in the Star Trek 'verse. The mechanical zombie appearance, the drones, the Borg Queen, Locutus/Jean-luc, the list goes on. The fact that the Cube has been downsized to a mini fridge just enhances my love for them. Why do I love it so? Because resistance is futile. That's why. If you read down the comment section of the page someone had the brilliant idea of creating a microwave to look like a Replicator.

That was also the time when a lot of people were like "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY". ThinkGeek needs to get on the ball on this one, just sayin'.

For those in the Geekdom that don't have the sincere appreciation of Star Trek and its glory, you can purchase the Rubik's Cube Mini Fridge which is just as nerdy and just as awesome.

If, for some reason, my kids don't want to get into Star Trek (but that's ridiculous, why wouldn't they?) they can switch over to some other means of Nerd. Which is fine, my kids are nerds, they really don't have a choice - this is genetics after all.... *sarcasm implied, sorta* But I put it to you, when your four year-old asks you if you would like "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, Mommy?" just like Captain Picard takes his, is she a nerd-in-training?

I think so.
