Here’s how it is…
Okay, so I’ve found the easter egg on the Firefly disk 4 of Adam singing, and he’s wearing this cool t-shirt… the same one he’s wearing here, except on the DVD you can see it more clearly.
And I wanted it, my Precious.
So I did what any computer geek with an obsession would do… I made my own.
Not willing to stop there, I went further and created a whole bunch of similar things.
So, Here’s how it is: I want to contribute to the Firefly DVDs for our Troops Overseas campaign but this is a tight month following the holidays, so I won’t be able to do much more than one DVD set.
Unless…
Well, the things in the store are marked up a mere 1 or 2 bucks over cost, but every buck I make before the deadline of January 30th I’m going to send to the Project.
And you get Swag — there is no loser here.
Thoughts? Requests? You want a specific shirt, but with a Firefly quote on the back? No problem, just let me know and I’ll set it up. I am here to serve…
and geek out. There is always that.
Sweet
Firefly Chinese Pinyinary – a collection of all the Chinese phrases you hear, plus all the chinese characters you see on the show.
Also: Fireflymovie.com, because geeks never learned to give up. (We grew up thinking that sending two hobbits alone into Mordor was a good tactical plan — it all stems from that.)
Fear the power of determined geeks… fear.
Things I learned from The Train Job
You can sometimes distract people by getting all… bendy.
[Rather an appropriate lesson for New Years.]
Things I learned from The Train Job
Reputation means a lot to some people.
Insert half-assed Hobbit/Vampire joke here
A (12 page!) interview with Sean Astin on (among other things) directing an episode of Angel.
That’s damn near geek inbreeding.
Oh sweet harmony…
Via Stan, known to the Average-bear world as BoulderDude, Peter Jackson speaking about the Extended DVD version of Return of the King:
“It is different with the DVD version. People watch it at home. They can lay on the couch or spread the experience over two or three nights. That is the amazing thing with DVD. It gives a whole new dynamic and I can assure you that the DVD version of Return of the King will be longer than 4 hours and 50 minutes.”

Hitting someone with a closed fist is, on occassion, hilarious (though frowned upon).
(And hey, if you wan, look up some stuff on the The Train Job — This links to my first tentative attempts at putting together a Firefly Wiki. Please be kind… or better yet, contribute.)
