Here we go again. You found my little nook on the intertubes. I’ll try and post some interesting items mostly around the sci-fi/tech geek space. Maybe even share a tip or two. Feel free to browse around and if you find something useful, drop a note. You can send me mail at (myfirstandlastname) at gmail.com.

This is a montage of clips from George’s movies and tells the tale of Good vs. Evil.  It’s one of my all-time favorite clips.
