A Nerd's Essential App List

As a geek with an Android, I'm always looking for entertaining ways to pass the time as well as proudly blazon my geekiness to anyone who happens to want to play with my Kindle Fire.  In my hunt for apps, I've found some pretty good ones, which I'll post in a list below.  If you have any suggestions, please post comments with them.  If you have an Apple product, I'm afraid I can't help you much because these are all Android apps (with the exception of Minecraft.)

Random Thought:  I've found what appears to be the coolest chair ever (unless you happen to Google "coolest chair ever," in which case you will find some chairs that go beyond cool...)

Episode I: The Saga Continues

 Here's some more Episode I as Explained by a 3-Year-Old.  I'm nearing the end, but don't worry- there are two more Star Wars books coming up.

Random Thought:  Does anyone know where I can get some Jedi robes for fairly cheap, or would it be easier/cheaper to make my own?

The Quest For the Missing Font... Accomplished!

Readers who have been with me for a while should remember my desperate hunt for a font I had fallen in love with several months ago.  And today I have good news-- for I have found it!  My beloved font is called Centaur, and you may recall that I came across it in a book called The Deep Freeze of Bartholomew Tullock (which, by the way, is an excellent book.)  I have a fantastically old version of Microsoft word at home, which explains why I couldn't find it.  However, during a Journalism project in Adobe InDesign (which, tragically, I don't even have on my computer at home), I was scrolling through a list of fonts looking for a good headline font, and lo and behold: There was my dream font.

More Episode 1...

Here's three more pages of Episode I As Explained by a Three-Year-Old.  If you didn't see the first three, make sure you check the last post.  Enjoy...

Episode 1 as Explained by a Three-Year-Old

Ah, the sweet simplicity of childhood.  When I was younger, I used to like to write books with my brother.  I would dictate to him, and he would write it down.  I also drew the illustrations in crayon, though sometimes he helped a little.  I was watching Star Wars Episode 1 the other day (in case you didn't know, that's the one with the really annoying little kid as Anakin Skywalker.)  Anyway, I was reminded of making a book based on Episode 1 when I was about three years old.  After I hunted it down, I was laughing out loud.  It was almost identical to the movie, just cut down and with better pictures.  I knew I had to share it.  So, enjoy the first three pages of Star Wars: Episode I as Explained by a Three-Year-Old!  (I apologize for the fact that these are rather poorly scanned.  I was hesitant to fold down the cover so they would fit into the scanner better.  Keep in mind that they're drawn on flimsy paper and I didn't want to destroy pieces of my childhood.)
