My New Favorite Place on the Internet!

See everybody, I really am a GEEK!  If you didn’t believe it before, just check out the new picture I posted to my profile on Comixology.com!

I call it:  Steve REBORN #1 (If you don’t read comics you wont get this.  Also, you’re not cool)

Thanks to Comixology.com I was given the inspiration to create my MASTERPIECE!

Back to spending hours playing on comixology.com,

X-Babies? Are you $%*&ing Kidding me!!!

 

Some days, like today for instance, I hate being a comic geek…

Drinking away the thought that even comics have been dumbed down in order to better fit a younger generation that no longer enjoys real comics for lack of understanding,

Turning Movies into Comic Books

Every single time a new super hero movie comes out, a new series of comic books HAVE to come out too.  Which comic books am I speaking of?  The ones that take our beloved heroes stories and change them up a bit to fit the new story line for the MOVIE.  Case in Point:  New movie Iron Man 2 so new comic book…

Iron Man Vs. Whiplash #1

Now, I don’t know exactly how different this new movie storyline is going to be from the comic books but these comics are just completely worthless.  I understand that Marvel needs to make money and that publishing books based on the movie sparks interest in and reaches a whole new target audience, but I feel like these new books are cheating on the old storylines!

Think about it!  Why did they choose to make a movie with these characters?  BECAUSE OF THE COMIC BOOKS!  The stories and characters in the comic books were so good somebody thought it would be a good idea to make movies out of them right?!?  So, why reverse the process?!?  We’re not making a movie from completely new concepts, stories and characters and some genius thought it would be a good idea to put them in a comic book NO!!!  It’s the other way around people!

I understand that the story has to change a bit to fit the silver screen and I don’t care about that; If I walk into a movie and in no way expect them to follow the comics I walk away entertained every time!  The point is that in the comic world it is meaningless to release a book like this;  Marvel should do itself a favor and instead put out a fresh series outlining the real history of these two characters so that comic people and movie people will pick it up and possibly enjoy it, instead of releasing the ‘refab’ story and having it suck like most of these comic types do.

Going to get my inhaler and calm down a bit now,

Pocket Projector?…next stop holograms???

Check it:

The newest blow-away-your-friends devices: microprojectors (also known as pico projectors). These pocket-size gadgets take video on an iPhone (or a handful of other smartphones) and play it on any surface, turning your wall, ceiling or tent into a 60-inch screen.

The projectors first hit the market last year, with the debut of the Optoma Pico, which made a bit of a splash with the tech community. Now two competing models have been announced: the Cinemin Swivel, by WowWee Technologies ($350, at Cinemin.tv, starting in September) and the 3M MPro120 ($349 at shop3m.com, starting Sept. 1).

One small step for man.  One giant leap for Geek Kind!

As soon as I saw this all I could think was, “YES!!!  Once they perfect this, the next logical step is hologram technology!”.  And if you’re a geek you were thinking it too…don’t LIE!

I’m so excited, I can’t wait to record my first holographic message…what will I say?  umm uhh WHAT WILL I SAY?!?  Oh no, panic attack…this could be the single most important thing I ever say and I’M NOT PREPARED!!!  I have to go…

Trying to knock this baby out in 50 revisions or less,

One Stop Geek Shop

Welcome to the One Stop Geek Shop II

So, since blogger.com seems to be a standard in the blogging world I thought I would start up this account so I can leave messages easily on other blogs and honestly the blog tracker stuff on this site looks to be pretty good.

BUT until Aunt May dies of old age...

I think I'll be keeping the original geek shop up and running with regular updates just because I've spent so much time there.

Check it out at:

I can pretty much assure that if your an air breather there is something there you'll enjoy ;)

See you there,
