I totally want to see Haywire this weekend. We’re hanging out with friends and they want to see Tintin. Ehhh

Comment on CSS3 For Web Designers by Brian

All the “Books Apart” are really well written. I’m glad to hear that a non-designer got something out of the book. All too often I start reading reference books like these and easily write them off with a “I already know this stuff” attitude…I need to stop doing that. Especially when it comes to the CSS3 and HTML5 stuff because I am *way* behind in that stuff. Where I work now hasn’t exactly been pushing the boundaries compared to where I was, so there is little constant learning…and thus less fun.

@Brian I was thinking about either going as a superhero or as Madea from those Tyler Perry movies for Halloween.

I tried D&D once and it just wasn’t for me. If I find a good comic book store, maybe they’ll have some stuff going on.

My geek collection consists of an Enterprise pizza cutter, a 10 Doctor sonic screwdriver, and a set of coasters that look like Dexter’s slides. I have some BattleStar Galactica action figures on my wish list I think. My toys from childhood are in storage at my mom’s house, but I haven’t seen those in years. I do like the idea of documenting everything, so maybe I’ll start a photo album.

What are you, a hermit? You’ve never been to a holiday part? What would your costume be for a Halloween party? You should go as one of your favorite superheroes.

I would suggest doing a non-video game to fill your social quota. The defacto D&D is what comes to mind first because that’s what I did, and while it wasn’t really my cup of tea in terms of the game itself, it introduced me to some wonderful people and thus onto more great people that are now great friends. I met Jared, Erica, Lindsey and all the CAVEradio people by way of D&D. So you can hit two birds in new people and social gaming if you play your cards right. On-line gaming with friends is fine but in the end you’re still on your couch playing video games.

And I think you need to document (ie, photo) your current geek collection…I have my doubts. And might I suggest action figures as a collectible. They seem fun and I wish I could afford to collect more. You’ll find them for everything…Star Trek, video games, TV and wrestling.

Have a good 2012, buddy. Have fun in Portland!

@Brian I'll definitely be taking a lot of pictures and I'm sure I'll have a lot to blog about.

Have fun, Will. Be careful driving West. You should blog from the road during your trip out to Portland. I think everyone wants to do a cross-country road trip at least once in their life. Just keep your GPS handy.
