I will always remember the laughter that Robin Williams brought into the world.

Robbin Williams as Sean Macguire in Good Will Hunting

There was a huge outpouring of emotion and public morning in the wake of the loss of Robin Williams. Of course, there is good reason for this. The man had over 100 acting credits to his name in a career spanning over four decades, which included everything for everyone, literally.

Children’s movies and cartoons, off-color comedies, thrillers, general comedies, dramas and more. If it existed, he went after it. I’m sure he turned down roles, but you’d never know it looking through his IMDb.

What everyone can learn from Germany’s World Cup Title Run

Germany stands atop the game of football (or futbol or even soccer, depending on your country of origin) as the 2014 World Cup Champions. This isn’t a shock as they’ve been here before – three times, in fact – making this their fourth World Cup.

Random fandoms collide comfortably at Philly Non-Sports Card Show

Non-Sport Cards Show

This past weekend, I attended the 60th Philly Non-Sports Card Show in Allentown, Pa. This isn’t the first time I’ve been there, but every time I go I’m amazed at how much of that industry still exists.

Geek Space: Two Bakshi Walls

I have two walls in my home devoted to the animation of Ralph Bakshi, designated as my two “Bakshi Walls.” One is in my living room, which consists of three animation pencils from Wizards and the other is in my office, which has two actual animation cels from Wizards, so I guess you could call them my “Wizards” walls.

I’m going to share with you these walls, as they are two of my favorite Geek Spaces.
