Anyone who reads this blog knows my nerdom is well established by this point. Movies, music, collectibles, sports, comics, etc. I run the gamut, but I tend to go all out immersion when I get into something. And while I … Continue reading My First Comic Con, and the Loot
Ready Player One is one of my favorite books. I tell people it is not one of the best written, but it is one of my favorites. It sits in my wheelhouse.
