Day two at ROFLcon!
As with yesterday, newest posts are at the top.
I’m heading over to ROFLcon in Cambridge now — bringing my laptop and camera, of course! Check back here for entries and pics throughout the day.
New entries will appear at the top of the page with events in reverse chronological order.
This is ROFLcon! I can has ROFLcon?
Oh, the memes we’ll say. Oh, the shenanigans we’ll have.
I just bought my ticket to ROFLcon—I could never forgive myself for missing out on something this awesome, in my backyard no less.
So yes, I’m going to go. I’m going to blog it. I’m going to take pictures. I’m going to get ph4t lewtz, or at least say hi to Anonymous.
April 25th and 26th at Harvard University. ROFLcon or GTFO.
I, like any respectable geek, really dig Wil Wheaton’s blog. For the uninitiated, Wil’s the actor who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, the young ensign that so many loved to hate. Except me, because I wanted to be him. Precocious kid on the same bridge as Captain Picard? Hell yes!
Not to completely brown nose—he’s not going to read this anyway!— but he has a fun writing style and a lot of good stuff to say. (Unlike this blog.)
Anyway, due to his own admitted geekiness, he’s a good host to a lot of jokes made at his expense, like this one, affectionately dubbed LOLWesley:
Yea, you have to be a bit of a geek to get that. But I LOL’ed. (If you’re somewhat new to t3h Internets: Hi, there’s this thing called LOLcats. And LOLtrek. And even LOLcode. Everything’s funnier on the internet WHEN IT’S IN ALL CAPS LOL)
So I just want to give props to the Mr. Wheaton. He’s a geek among geeks, and he’s not afraid to share his life with the rest of us salivating masses.
…Would you rather I write about World of Warcraft? Because I could totally do that.
You see, most blogs are trying to make a difference in the world, I think. They want to say something of consequence, mobilize the masses, that sort of thing.
Not me.
