Gratuitous Nerdity

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/06/gratuitous-nerdity.html'; As you may or may not know, I am a bit of a nerd. I loved math in high school. I thought history would be so awesome if only it came in something other than drab monotone. I have enough useless knowledge in this dome to choke Ken Jennings. (Nerd burn!) I'm pretty sure IMDb, Wikipedia, and TV Tropes are one click away from serving me with an e-restraining order. At times, there have been blackouts: Wikipedia > Symbolism in The Matrix > Deus Ex Machina > *three hours* > Duct Tape. It just happens. Generally...

Origins

digg_url = 'https://kindahectic.blogspot.com/2011/06/origins.html'; In the past year or so, I've been guided to the works of Danny Wallace. For those of you that aren't familiar with his work, the Jim Carrey movie "Yes Man" was loosely based on Wallace's book of the same name. The basic premise of the book concerns the trials and tribulations of Wallace's life when he takes a fellow bus rider's simple imploration to "say yes more." One of the many paths this leads Wallace down is that of a relationship he builds with an anonymous author of an email scam. You've been chosen, yada yada, millions...
