Because I am a huge nerd, I think this is really cool. The video speaks for itself.

And no, that’s not me.  I’m much sexier.

Thanks, Scott, for giving me a reason to post something substantive on my blog!

Rules:

1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog.

And now, 8 random facts about me:

1. I write with my left hand, though I hold scissors and bowl with my right.
2. I have Type 1 Duane Syndrome in my left eye.
3. I am an introvert at heart.
4. I am fanatical about Transformers, and have a rather large collection of the toys. (Duh.)
5. I taught myself how to play the piano.
6. I made it into the PMEA All State Chorus all three years that I was eligible during high school (sophomore, junior, and senior years).
7. My dream is to be a singer/songwriter.
8. A middle school in the school district in which I grew up was named after my grandfather. However, I went to the other middle school.

Phew! Glad that’s over. Now I have to think of whom I will torture with this…

• Joe
• Carter
• Pete
• uh… I don’t know anyone else with a blog whom I feel comfortable torturing with this.

While I’m not much of a fan of Indiana Jones, having seen only one of the three movies (gasp!), I am a huge fan of LEGO Star Wars, so don’t be so surprised if this ends up in my video game library. I’m still pulling for a LEGO Lord of the Rings, though!

This looks great. It’s a totally new look and style for the Transformers, but so far, it looks like it works! And they’re using the original song (albeit with a few changes). Dinobots, Arcee… the huge nerd in me is crying out YES!

Okay, so I should really be in bed right now, but I just found this awesome video of 100 Commodore 64 games (or so it claims… I certainly didn’t count). I recognize a decent number of them. It’s most agonizing when I recognize a game but have no idea what it’s called. I want to know where Tapper is, though!

This mash-up is just crazy. I recognize Kung Fu, Mega Man, Super Mario Bros., Castlevania (I think), Dig Dug, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!, Street Fighter II, Pac-Man, Spy vs. Spy, Contra, Bomberman, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and Dragon Warrior. Poor Mega Man just can’t catch a break.

This is very cool.  Before clicking on the link below, take a moment to think about who among all the presidential candidates shares your views the most.  Then take the survey.  I’m guessing that most people will be surprised to see who they align with.  I know I was.  Post your results in the comments.

… this is the movie about transforming robots we’ve all been waiting for!

A coworker shared this with me. It’s awesome.
