Who needs puppies?..

Come on... I'm sure there are many a Star Wars nerd who just can't help but smile.

Nerd-Journal #1

My wife often tells me that she had no idea how much of a nerd I was until after she accepted my proposal. Our isolated situation in northern Alberta has, to her chagrin, added somewhat to my passion for the hobby. Moderation in all things, I suppose...



That being said, I am super excited about this little piece of hardware. It was only a few months ago that Nintendo announced a handheld that would provide three-dimensional viewing, but WITHOUT the need for glasses of any kind. It was recently unveiled a few weeks ago to nearly universal praise and I couldn't be happier.

I've been a sucker for new tech for a long time. I suppose its for the best that my limited financial means have prevented me from paying many thousands of dollars for the newest in cutting-edge entertainment. The 3DS represents a fairly modest opportunity to enjoy some new tech without having to spend a few months salary on a new TV and the accompanying headgear.



I look forward to the arrival of the 3DS sometime next early next year.

A Fresh Start

Its been several long months but I've realized just how much I miss blogging. That being said, this is going to be an attempt to bring together a variety of things that I am interested in instead of just focusing on one key area.

The months ahead will cover politics, my ramblings on education and teaching in general, discussion about media that has piqued my geekish interest, and experiences with my growing family.

For anyone who wants to come along, they are more than welcome to join in the conversation.
