Buckle up and hold on to your dragon’s scales, there’s a new episode of the Big Fat Geek Podcast out! Nathan and I discuss the first three episodes of Game of Thrones' last season. Spoilers abound!


I would expect nothing less from Lucifer’s minions. twitter.com/evilbmcat…


“Migrating to a Google Account means turning all your Nest data over to Googleβ€”data that previously had been kept separate.”

Gosh, if only someone could have foreseen this coming.


Having just finished the next-to-last #GameofThrones with @bekindtobignate, I kind of wish we’d been recording our reactions during. We have SO MANY THEORIES.


Mothers' Day 2017, 2018, 2019. The hockey player is in skates in all three shots with his mom, aka my amazing wife. Happy Mothers' Day sweetheart!


This story on Hagoromo chalk is fascinating. It also sounds like something up @patrickrhone’s alley.


Finished Gone by Dawn, by Tom Wood, a novella that hearkens back to a time earlier in the Victor series. πŸ“š


Finished Kill for Me by Tom Wood, another satisfying Victor the assassin novel. πŸ“š


Five Finger Death Punch covers Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s “Blue on Black”, and bring along Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert, and Brian May for good measure. Proceeds from the song’s sales benefit first responders through the Gary Sinise Foundation.


I think Treason & Blasphemy is the name of my next Christian metal band. πŸ˜‰ @rosskingmusic


I allowed my children to pick out Mothers' Day cards at the Hallmark store, and now I am a glitter casualty.



I have backed Bokeh on Kickstarter. While it’s too early to tell if it will replace Flickr as my go-to for online photo sharing, as Jack said, “the world can use all of the independent, privacy-first services it can get.”


Personal de-Googlefication continues. I’ve swapped out Gboard for SwiftKey on my iPhone.


For Sale: Everyman Hideout 5-Way Commuter Pack

I backed this project on Kickstarter and received it roughly a month and a week ago. I’ve used it exclusively for a couple of weeks and have determined that despite liking the layout and the build quality, it just doesn’t fit with the way I haul things. Below are shots of my own bag, and you can read more about it on Everyman’s site.

Retail for all of the included items is $238. I’m asking $200 shipped, in 48 contiguous US states. Will entertain all reasonable offers, including shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and beyond, though the latter will incur actual shipping costs.


“I’m not saying I’d like to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely.”


"Hold it, hold it. What is this? Are you trying to trick me? Where's the sports?

"Is this a kissing book?"

What am I watching?


Our friend Ross King’s new single dropped today. We had the privilege of hearing him play it back in March at the Together Called conference. A message to bless you, and the song is available at all the usual outlets. Love it!


What a cruel proximity notification, Chick-fil-A.


This is how much I love our Big Fat Geek podcast listeners: recording new episodes for y’all last night and not watching the Dallas Stars playoff game.
