I can’t believe it!
My son gave me World of Warcraft for Christmas with a free month. Everybody says the game is addictive etc, but I figure OK, I like this kind of game, I’ll try it out for a month or two. I install it before dinner and in installed fine. After dinner, I create a WoW account and start the game and sign in. It wants to install a patch. OK, I wait for the download, tens of megabytes, and install the patch. And it wants another. And another. Probably over 100 megabytes of downloaded patches. I joke “World of Patchcraft” (which I discover I’m not the first one to call it that). Am I done? Not even close. Now it is downloading a 2.6 GIGAbyte patch. Good lord. This is so worse that installing Windows. It is going download all night. It says “about 11 hours” now. Good lord.

How many of these have you seen?

Seeing a “Geek Movies” list on Facebook inspired me to make this list of movies. I’d say its my geek list of movies. Not the best movies ever made. Not the best science fiction either. Not even a list of all the movies I’ve seen or plan on seeing. Some I don’t even like. Just that I think they in some way have Geek Cachet. Let’s just call it a Geek List of Movies.
