Weekend Coffee Share - It's Only Been 11 Months...

#WeekendCoffeeShare - It's Only Been 11 Months...

If we were having coffee, I might apologize for the fact that it’s been almost a year since I posted on this site. I’ve had every intention of redesigning the site to be more of a showcase and personal website than a blog – that’s still probably going to happen. And it has actually been more than a year since I have done a Weekend Coffee Share here – we moved those for a time onto…

Weekend Coffee Share - New Car Smell Edition

Weekend Coffee Share – New Car Smell Edition

I’ve been running the Weekend Coffee Share here on DBCII… but I think it’s time that it moved over to Comparative Geeks, instead. Thought I would share this first one, at least, and mention the move!

Sometimes I can’t decide where to write a post – here is one such. It belongs both places, so now here it is!

If we were having coffee... Welcome to Night Vale edition

#WeekendCoffeeShare... Welcome to Night Vale edition

Sometimes, coffee is hot. Sometimes, coffee is cold. Sometimes, it’s a gibbering mass from outside our time and space. Welcome to Night Vale. *cue opening music by Disparition* If we were having coffee, I would definitely tell you that I have spent the week listening to a new podcast – Welcome to Night Vale. This one comes to me highly recommended by a number of sources. The problem before hasn’t…

If we were having coffee... Transitions Week

If we were having coffee... Transitions Week #WeekendCoffeeShare

What? I’m using the official coffee image? If we were having coffee, I would tell you it feels like a week of transitions. In a number of ways and places. Coming from timing, from my actions, from others. All in all, it’s like it’s been long enough with a newborn to start moving into leading a life with a newborn. Infant now, I guess? Here on DBCII, transitions are coming as we move into year two…

If we were having coffee... Train of Thought Edition

If we were having coffee... Train of Thought Edition #WeekendCoffeeShare

“A thirst for the world’s knowledge.” If we were having coffee, I’d talk about how I started listening to podcasts this week. There are some times at work where they just work great – I can be working on a task, and listening to that, and really actually get really efficient and in the zone. Of course, I’ve also found tasks where they’re a really bad idea… there’s always still listening to music,…

If we were having coffee... back to work edition

If we were having coffee... back to work edition #weekendcoffeeshare

If we were having coffee, I’d probably talk about being back at work this week. And how it was weird. For periods, I could get caught up in work and forgot everything else. At other times, I was so overcome by exhaustion it was impossible not to remember why… It was hard being away. I think that’s probably something parents everywhere can sympathize with. So maybe over coffee you’d be offering…

If we were having coffee... #GeekBaby Edition #weekendcoffeeshare I would tell you that it's pretty great being a dad. I would tell you that it took a week in the hospital, and a lot of hard work since, but it's pretty great.

Science Fiction Today - Books

Science Fiction Today – Books

CompGeekDavid:

Here’s one of our A to Z Challenge posts this year, in the theme Science Fiction Today! I thought this one fit in well with the theme here on the blog.

Originally posted on Comparative Geeks:

Books are still such an important part of not only how we get information, but how we get to experience all the various stories that people have to tell. At the same time the way that we read…
