"It looks like the guy is wearing a tie, otherwise I thought it looked a bit like Marty McFly (no double-tie though)"

"Yes. In the movie "Ted" with Mark Wahlberg, part of the storyline is that they are partying with Sam Jones (the actor who played Flash). There is even a "dream" sequence where they are flying the scooter."

"I totally see Flash Gordon riding on his little air scooter thing.  No clue if that's right though.  Not sure what the clue means though. ~David"

Profile Information

What are some of your geeky hobbies?
I work. A lot. But when I'm not working (or writing for a certain blog), I like spending time with my family. I'm a father to two girls and a boy who are lots of fun to hang around with and I enjoy their hobbies and interests, while trying to get them to participate in mine, as well.

Some of the things I obsess about include (big breath):
  • chess
  • comic books
  • movies (pretty much everything, but especially documentaries)
  • video games
  • board games
  • formula one
  • hockey
  • soccer
  • zombies
  • DnD
  • music (many different favorites, but especially Rush and Chemical Brothers)
  • magic (the sleight of hand kind, not the CCG kind)
  • history
  • reading
  • woodworking
  • electronics
  • LEGO
  • and making lists.

Plus, I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with dice.
