Time Has Gone all Wibbly Woobly Hello faithful readers! Sorry I havent posted in a few days, for those of you who wish to hear a little about my life, keep reading, for those of you who dont just know I have a TON of new and exciting content slated to go up in the next few weeks, so check back soon! Still reading? Awesome! So life got crazy quite quickly, I have dividend my last two weeks between writing my final paper for my last real grad school class, although I still have to do a final graduate paper and a comprehensive exam that will take a year to work on (sigh), studing for a spanish language examj (como se dice Im going to fail the shit out that test) and spending time on the road for work. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you should know that one of the perks of my job is that I get to trave to fun and exciting locations, like Newark, or Ft. Lauderdale! These last two weeks I have been on the road almost everday, in New Jersey, New York and Im on my last night on my last trip in Boston. This brings us to the picture above, I only brought my dress shoes and a pair of chucks, so I rocked the grey chuck/grey suit look while walking to all my programs, who says David Tennant is they only bro who can rock chucks and a suit (everyone). All that said, my paper is done, my travels are done, and once this exam is done failed, I can commit the rest of my summer to MisguidedGeek. I have a lot of cool things coming up, so stick around!

I Love You Etsy:  Krang Apron I haven’t done an Etsy post in a while, but I couldn’t pass up this spectacular Krang Apron.  Haute Mess’s Etsy shop sports many villian inspired hand-made aprons, from Bobba Fett and Two Face, to Harley Quinn and Mystique, but in my geeky opinion Krang is far and away the best.   This one of a kind, hand made apron can be yours, for the low price of $150… yeah $150.

New Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer, First Look at new Star Ship! The recently released Into Darkness trailer gives us our first good look at John Harrison’s ( Benedict Cumberbatch AKA could still be Khan) war ship. Spoiler alert, this massive new ship destroys the Enterprise in the below trailer, which on its own is pretty great. Something struck me though, about the way the sauce section connects to the body of the ship and where the deflector dish lies… something familiar about it… Could this be our first look at an Excelsior class star ship in JJ Abrams new Star Trek universe?  Lets very scientifically compare the Constitution Class Enterprise with the new War Ship in the above screen grab from the new trailer. My terrible Photoshop skills aside, lets look a the above size comparison of the two ships from the trailer, to a more exact look of the Constitution vs Excelsior lines > Not exact mind you, but for me close enough to hint at the possibility of an Excelsior inclusion to Abrams Star Trek continuum.  What say you geeks?  Would it not also make sense, since Cumberbatch’s character is supposed to be some Federation Black Ops commando, that they give him and his crew the most advanced ship in the fleet?  Could Cumberbatch’s ship be an early model Excelsior class star ship?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments. *NOTE: Both Excelsior images not from the screen grab come from Ex-Astris-Scientia, an amazing resource for detailed star ship analysis* **UPDATE** This below image, from IO9 and gives us a better look at the new ship, which I have seen being called a Dreadnaught class starship. /p>

What it Means to be a Geek I think its nice, from time to time, to revisit what it means to be a “Geek”.  I get asked often, to break down the differences between a Geek and a Nerd, or discuss the minutia that differentiates the different levels of geekdom.  I saw this quote from Simon Pegg a while back, and for me, he hits it on the head.  Being a geek, is just being unashamed to do what you love, ESPECIALLY if its outside the social norms.   If you are an adult and like to play with toys, do it, you are a geek.  If you like to break down every basketball stat line from every high school team in Alabama, do it, you are a geek. Like to collect really rare and vintage LP’s, do it, you are a geek.  Like to dress up in chain mail and hit other guys in chain mail with foam swords, you sir are a geek.   Being a geek is doing what you like to do, and sharing that with with world.  In my humble opinion, if you can do that, and feel good about your self, and who you are as a person, then you are doing life right. As always, stay geeky.
