60th Post - Upping my Geek Quotient

My Future office...Nice Eh?

Hey!!. This is my 60th...yes 60TH blog post. Who'd a thunk that I would be still writing in this thing after all this time.  That being said...

What have I gotten myself into?

Ok, so this whole "Geeky Dad" thing has inspired me to take a next step to secure my own little corner of the interweb.  In order to make this dream a reality, I have decided to make my own webpage and merge my Blog with my photography, Twitter, everything in one online place.  In order to do this I need a new website for www.geekydadsden.com that's not just a blog site.  Unfortunately its not in the budget to spend hundreds of dollars to have someone else do it for me.  So to keep expenses to a minimum, I am endeavoring to learn how to create my own website.  I'm going to learn HTML, CSS and all the other stuff associated that I haven't even begun to read about yet.  I'm not trying to become a master or make a living doing this, far from it.  I'm just looking to learn enough that my newly created website functions properly, does what I want it to do, and doesn't look like ass.  Luckily I have already been using photoshop for some time now with my whole love of photography so graphics and photos shouldn't be a problem. I would also like to think that some of those college courses are still resting, hung-over in my brain still, enough so that some of the stuff about esthetics and what makes something look good are still there.  So I got my first book "For Dummies" to get me started (from the library, again since I'm looking to keep expenses minimal) and we'll see how it goes.  All I can do at this point is do my research, pick programmer friends' brains and try my best....

Ok...

I'm going there;

Ya..taking my geekyness to a whole other level was a great idea...yikes.

Indy News and a New Idea

Good morning friends and readers. I just finished working a 12 hr night shift so this one is going to be short and suh-weet, with a capital SUH. I read something that made me smile and wiggle in my chair a bit, as some of you may have guessed I'm a bit of an Indiana Jones fan...I loved all the movies..yes even the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, widely panned in the media but I still got all giggly when Indy put that hat on in the first couple of minutes. So I read HERE that Skull star Shia LaBeouf says he's in talks to reprise his role as the son of Indiana Jones in a fifth movie of whip cracking, action packing awesomeness. Britain's Daily Express reports that LaBeouf has confirmed earlier reports suggesting another Jones adventure may be in the works. Indy himself, the very awesome and incomparable Harrison Ford, had previously hinted that Doctor Jones may have enough gas left in the tank for one more go. Me likey. If this movie goes I'll be in line first day to go see it. Sure Indy may be getting up there but he still kicks ass.

I'm also throwing around ideas about a regular weekly posting on Stigmas that Geeky people face in the media etc. So if you read this, please enter comments below and give me your ideas for a title for this weekly feature, haven't decided on a day yet so go nuts. If I use your idea you get bragging rites and a mention of your own blog or site of your choice in the first posting of that blog
