When I was younger, I always wondered why my dad was so interested in buying bars of silver. I honestly just thought it was a fun hobby of some sort. Later a few years ago when he decided to sell some, I finally understood! Such a great and easy way to invest your dollars to… read more »

August 24, 2012 by 29 Comments
I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic lately, mostly because we are starting a new initiative at work that encourage others to take a pledge against texting and driving (this isn’t a review post, but if you’re terribly interested, you can check out our site here). While working on launching this project, we had… read more »

So, I work at television station. With that, I have a TV in my office (score!), usually I have it muted and am listening to music while I work, but this morning a headline caught the corner of my eye and I just had to listen in. Apparently three young developers decided that they were… read more »
A First Look at Lincoln
August 9, 2012 by 29 Comments
No, not THAT Lincoln (although I’m morbidly curious to see that one!). I have to admit, Brad and I are kinda history nerds…him more than me, but we are both excited to see this movie! “Lincoln” (directed by Steven Spielberg) focuses on the last four months of the president’s life and the political strategizing he undertook at… read more »

This weekend, my brother and sister-in-law are here, and we decided to start sharing funny things that we’ve found on YouTube with each other on the TV. While we were exploring,… read more »
How Will You Watch the Olympics?

I don’t usually talk about my day job on here, but I am actually so lucky in that I work in a fun industry that changes every day. My main function is in the internet department – but it’s the internet department in the broadcast industry. That means a lot of what I do is… read more »
Cello Wars

I’ve posted before about one of my favorite online musician groups, the Piano Guys! The way I actually found them was from a friend who shared this funny (and nerdy) video with me. Today’s nerdy post combines three wonderful things – classical instruments, comedy, and Star Wars!

Tonight at midnight marks the release of the 3rd (and final!) release of the Batman The Dark Knight movies! Brad and I are so excited to see it, though it looks like it will probably be a week before we have a sitter lined up so we can go. A friend sent this my way… read more »
Blast from the Past | The Picard Song
July 15, 2012 by 21 Comments
I’m having way too much fun finding old nerdy internet funnies to share with you guys – especially finding that so many of them are new to so many of you! So, I’m a huge Star Trek nerd. Star Trek: the Next Generation was pretty much my gateway drug into nerddome in general for me.… read more »
Paraskevidekatriaphobics. Wait, what?
July 13, 2012 by 23 Comments
Today is Friday the 13th, which to me is always kind of fun. But for some apparently it’s actually a scary deal! Paraskevidekatriaphobics — people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th Apparently there have been some actual studies about Friday the 13th – maybe there’s a little more to this day than… read more »
