So a riot that may not have been a spontaneous riot, caused by a film that was created by a man who may not exist, resulted in the death of real people at the Lybian embassy by what appears to be a deliberately calculated terrorist attack. Then a presidential candidate puts his foot in it. It’s a moment where all I can do is express condolence to the friends and family of those who died, be glad for those protesting against the violence.

No Freak Out, Just My Geek Out
Over at Nerdcaliber I discuss how being an “outsider” shouldn’t (and isn’t) core to being a geek, nerd, otaku and the like.

Hello to My New Readers
Well, hello to all you newcomers. Looks like the blog and my cousin Mark mentioning my article on Neil Armstrong got a lot of attention. Oh, have I mentioned Mark is an awesome photographer and you should give him money? OK, now I have.
Well for all you newcomers, this is the just-revised site of Steven Savage, geek literatus, raconteur of culture and technology, and Program Manager/nerd wrangler. I decided to make it more interactive, added a blog, redid it a bit, etc. It’s still under revision.
It ALSO gives me a chance to play with technology more – which is something I strongly advise doing. It’s way, way too easy to loose touch with technology, and we have to make efforts to keep up with it usefully.
So thus the revised website. It’s also why I put Android on an Eee PC. It keeps me in touch with an all-too ephemeral, all-too taken for granted set of wonderful tools and inventions.
But as for me, I’ve had a long day so it’s time for one of my favorite snacks (low-fat peanut butter between two lightly heated corn tortillas) and a nice time with a book.
Stick around – I’ve got a lot more coming . . .
