Of all things Geek. I am…
Magic: The Gathering’s first set with some controversy among players about the cards contained or not contained within the set was Revised. It was the definitive base set replacing Unlimited until it was replaced by 4th Edition a year later. The set was very similar to the three base sets that preceded it with the exception of the “Power Nine.”

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.

Sometimes, in geekdom, I think there remains a great ignorance to what came before. Other times, there is more emphasis on the past to the detriment of the present or future. But sometimes those attitudes can exist in harmony.
For me, it’s the latter, a focus on the past, in regards to Magic: the Gathering, which I refer to as “Old School Magic.”

On January, 18th, 2014, the Los Angeles Times Entertainment Section ran an article that was titled, “Paramount stops releasing major movies on film.” I’m very aware of the new technologies that exist – digital media players have made physical albums a thing of the past and streaming video services have made DVDs virtually obsolete – so the fact that Paramount is “the first big Hollywood studio to embrace digital-only U.S. releases” should come as a natural progression.
But I, for one, don’t really know how I feel about this. Sure, I consume music and watch movies and television shows through various streaming services, but I’m not ready to go completely digital.

This year’s nerd year resolutions are more like a 2014 to do list. It’s just a few simple things I’d like to accomplish for this blog.
Last year’s resolutions went largely accomplished and as such, I’ve decided not to try and stretch too far in coming up with this year’s resolutions, or this year’s to do list.
