Happy Geek Pride Day!
"Geek Pride Day is an initiative to promote geek culture, celebrated on 25 May. The date was chosen as to commemorate the release of the first Star Wars film, A New Hope on 25 May 1977, but shares the same day as three other similar fan 'holidays' - Towel Day, for fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy by Douglas Adams, Star Wars Day, and the Glorious 25 May for fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld."

D&D in the White House?
I recently received this from my friend Tony. He got it from Rick Gallagher of Bookazine:
Now, first off, I am NOT an Obama supporter. I don't see higher taxes and bigger, more intrusive government as being the kind of change I wanna see.
That being said, the idea of a president who knows what a D20 is is a change I can believe in :)
McCain Camp Links Obama Supporters to 'D&D'
Pejoratively
August 20, 2008
The 2008 presidential campaign has now made a connection, albeit a negative one, to pop culture; a spokesperson for Senator John McCain has tied supporters of Senator Barack Obama to #1 RPG Dungeons and Dragons. In a post on the McCain Website on Monday, Alexander Goldfarb wrote, “It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons and Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman’s memory of war from the comfort of mom’s basement, but most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others.” The post was responding to a blog on Daily Kos in which McCain’s story of a Vietnamese prison camp guard drawing a cross in the dirt is tied to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s similar story from the Soviet Gulag.
This isn’t the first time McCain spokesperson Goldfarb has inexplicably used Dungeons and Dragons as a “negative” association. In early August, he compared the editors of the New York Times to a blogger “sitting at home in his mother’s basement and ranting into the ether between games of Dungeons and Dragons.”
Now, first off, I am NOT an Obama supporter. I don't see higher taxes and bigger, more intrusive government as being the kind of change I wanna see.
That being said, the idea of a president who knows what a D20 is is a change I can believe in :)
