Finished reading WWdN:ix for October

I just finished reading WWdN:ix for October. I enjoyed three of the posts immensely:

October 18 (the squadron of benevolent butterflies)

I loved this post about his Geek in Review article, The Real Revenge of the Nerds (I'll give you the same warning he put on this: "though be warned: there's a hiney at the bottom of the page right now, which is probably not safe for work, so approach with caution.")

October 27 (TNG Review: Where No One Has Gone Before) and
October 30 (Where One More Has Gone Before)

I liked Wil's review of this episode of ST:TNG (though I don't watch the show anymore due to time constraints, I do think I'm going to set up a TiVo wishlist for this one so I can see it again).

I also liked the link to Diane Duane's post regarding the episode. Good reading.

I've now been reading and commenting on Wil longer than I planned. I've decided to continue reading his blog, and might even comment on it infrequently, but I'm now looking for input for another famous person's blog to read for a few weeks.

Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm open to most any famous person with an interesting blog.

WWdN (a quick review): Breezing through another week of October

Well, life's been keeping me busy, and I've hardly had time to read Wil lately, but here's a quick recap on thoughts triggered by specific entries:

October 11, 2006 (Introducing the Geek in Review)

Ah, yes, gaming! The ultimate geek "getaway weekend"!

I remember those days fondly.

Whiling away the hours, excercising the little gray cells solving puzzles, avoiding traps, raiding hoards, and otherwise defeating evil, be it D&D, Champions, Star Traveller, whaterver. Them were the days!

October 16, 2006 (pattern recognition)

I don't recall William Gibson's Neuromancer as well as I'd like, but what I remember most was (a) I loved it, and (b) it may quite possibly been the first "cyberpunk" book I ever read (at least, the first that flew under that flag).

Put another way, more fond memories, and this from "a kid" nearly half my age (acutally, at the time of the first movie I saw him in (1986's Stand By Me) he was about 14 and I was 30.)

October 18, 2006 (The Absolute Sandman)

Now Neil Gaiman's Sandman I do remember (and remember well!)

That was a damned fine comic book.

I don't buy comics anymore, though (in fact I still have a few I'd love to find buyers for — any takers?) because it got way to costly (in terms of $$$ & HH:MM:SS).

I also doubt I can get it through Inter-Library Loan, but watch: that will not stop me from trying!
