I’ve taken a lot of heat, here at home, since the man cave post. Although I have my geek’s permission and full support to write about his, um, idiosyncrasies, , it appears that the sharing of the feelings for the Dave Cave was too much. What upset him the most, however, was the fact that […]
Read MoreI’ve got myself a geek that works from home, mostly. Sometimes he gets (has) to get on an airplane and gets (has) to spend a week working in a different location, eating out and meeting new people. My geek doesn’t really look forward to these weeks.

Read MoreA while back I wrote a post about the geek?s new lap top carrier. And the tour of the new bag that was offered to me when said bag arrived. After a few fan letters begging for more information on the bag (wow, seriously, you geeky types just never stop surprising me), I?d like to […]
