This post is just forwarding links.

Got this one from [personal profile] sk4p.

Five Geek Social Fallacies. All of it, so true... I could totally see which qualities I have and which the others in groups like KGB/CSLounge had. Y'all should read it.

(The rest of his site is good readin' too. Like the Why Geeks Like Anime rant, which I think both Nykkel and Carl would get a kick out of. And the fact that this guy writes GURPS books and whatnot makes me think I must have stumbled on his site before, but I've forgotten it, maybe?)




Oh yeah, while I'm forwarding links *and* wearing my Nippon Ham Fighters jersey:
Fighters Logo gets an MLB facelift. Yay! A picture of Ogasawara in the new NHF uniform, and best of all... no more stupid Fighty bird?

Shinjo is a sillybillygoohead.

"Tsuyoshi Shinjo has formally signed with the Fighters and held a 30 minute press conference near the third base dugout at Sapporo Dome before 2000 fans to say so. He will wear number 1. In a typically loopy Shinjo response, he averred that he wants to live in a part of Sapporo where there are foxes and bears."

Yeah, so who's comin' to Sapporo with me next summer?

1) But I don't get meal service.

2) I regret to say that I have precisely zero knowledge of the Fighters, except for Ogasawara and Hillman, and haven't followed them in any capacity since they were still wearing the garish orange-and-white uniforms. There was a guy in the late 80s - early 90s who pitched for them who was so gosh darn POP he had the power to make several thousand women fall to the ground and have multiple orgasms just by nonchalantly responding to interview questions like Kimu-Taku does today. I hated his guts for this reason.
