Where do I even begin?
Well, I guess first off my name is Byron, though my nerdy friends call me Bert (long story), and I am a nerd. Not any specific kind of nerd, more just a general love for nerdy things kind of nerd. Fan of trek and wars, fan of Stargate and firefly, fan of video games though more RTS and puzzle than FPS. Big fan of technology in general and long for the day that I have the money to be at the forefront of things, I am usually about a step or two behind, but only because of money. Laptop is almost 4 years old, newest game console is an xbox360 slim; the TV is 1080p but 3 years old. I do try to keep up with the latest phones and gear for that, got note 3, Plantronics voyager earpiece, Bluetooth keyboard, Chromecast for the TV, just need a galaxy gear smart watch and I'll be happy with that end of it.
Away from technology I am a large sci-fi fantasy fan. From Doctor Who to Star Trek, from Stargate (minus Stargate universe which was a horrible attempt to cross BSG and Stargate) to Agents of SHIELD, from Firefly to Quantum Leap, from Fringe to Supernatural, from Chuck to Arrow and Flash, just a big fan of watching people save the world every episode while I sit back and let myself vanish into their worlds. As much as I love TV, I am also a big fan of movies. I would start listing them but I never know what order to put them in, Weird Science makes the top of the list every time, plus first Avengers, Day Watch/Night Watch, Blade series, can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Star Trek Nemesis, and so on. I love action, comedy, thrillers, and so on, but sci-fi and fantasy are my usual go to movies.
Just started going back through Star Trek TNG on Netflix, Watched first two episodes today. Enjoyed the old school special effects, the baby face of Will Wheaton, the inability to age of Patrick Stewart, the call back to the original series in the second episode of TNG, their attempt to show that it was a show with a high moral compass, and how emotionless Data really was in the beginning.
This blog and hopefully soon YouTube videos will be a place for me to talk about nerdy things, parenting things, relationship things, technology things, and whatever else pops into my head. I hope you guys enjoy it, I hope you subscribe to us and comment, I hope this goes somewhere, but hey, even if it doesn't, I plan to keep doing this for quite a while. Venting is good for the soul, so is the Bloodwine.
Byron/Bert

John Wick is amazing and here's why.......

By a raise of hands, how many of you have seen the first John Wick movie? A bunch of you, good. Now, raising your other hand, how many of you have seen John Wick Chapter 2? Not as many but still a bunch, if you can read this and haven't dropped your phone, go ahead and put your hands down now. Thanks for participating. For those who didn't raise their hands, I am going to be talking about the movies, and try not to spoil anything, but just beware that reading this may lesson some of the joy of watching the movie for the first time with only knowing a little bit about it. I'll wait while you decide how much you want to know…………… …………………………………………………. ……………………………………………. ……………………………………… ………………………………. ……………………….. ………………….. …………… …….. … Okay, is it safe to talk? Those movies are amazing on so many levels for so many reasons. Not even sure where to begin. Actually, no, that's a lie. I will begin with my favorite thing abo...

Here comes news I have been waiting to hear for years: The people behind Avatar The Last Airbender ,  Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko , are working on a BUNCHof new Avatar shows. The new Avatar Studios’ slate will consist of an animated movie AND show debuting every year starting in 2025, including the adult Gaang movie and new earth Avatar show in 2025, including the Zuko movie and the Kyoshi Movie, which have both been reconfirmed as in development. I shared the image earlier but I will again, to give you an idea of the timeline. So we have Live Action Netflix adaptation that I am just hoping is better than the last live action adaptation. Then the original team but as adults, then new Avatar that involves the next Avatar after Kora, then Zuko movie, another spin off possibly based on young Aangs journey before getting trapped in the ice, then the Kyoshi movie and possibly even another animated series. So much Avatar and I am here for it. Though I do think they nee...

GenCon 50

By -
Wee hours of the morning and I find myself still trying to finish packing for one of the biggest gaming events of the year (I know our traveling companions are still packing too). We leave Friday, but that does not mean that my brain is not going into overdrive trying to make sure that every necessary costume piece is packed. I start thinking to myself..."I could do this for a living. Traveling somewhere different all the time, cosplaying someone who isn't me." My dogs pace around my feet, whining and sniffing my suitcase. Gencon 50 is going to be the biggest it has ever been. They have had nearly all badges sell out (100,000+). I can not even imagine being stuck close quarters with that many people at once. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, SHOWER! Do not be the typical "nerd" stigma. We are a proud community and we have built up this grand thing. Every person is there to have fun to their own level of satisfaction and it is such a wonderful thing to see e...
