What did you think about the new Wreck it Ralph Movie?

I had a chance to catch this one last weekend with my boys, and I would have to say that I really did enjoy it.It was a nice clean movie, nothing I would be embarrassed to show to my kids.  I loved seeing so many references to some of the old video games that I remember playing as a kid.  The use of the Konami Code was awesome, and made the geek in me smile.I felt the Sarah Silverman voice characterization of a child seemed…See More

"I guess that would depend on your definition of worth. :0)   As a fan of Star Wars, it is well worth seeing simply for the cultural history of the real-life Star Wars saga. The bootleg copy I've seen includes commercials aired during the…"

"I've never actually seen the special myself. Don't think it was ever aired here in the UK and by the time we had ways of finding it, it's been so thoroughly trashed that I've stayed clear of it! Is it actually worth seeing?"

Star Wars Holiday Special II

So a friend (fellow member Nathan Ryan) and I were having a conversation offline about dreams.... One thing lead to another, and somehow the topic of the Star Wars Holiday Special came up (More of a nightmare, as far as Mr. Lucas would be concerned). We began to speculate what a sequel might look like.One idea that was kicked around was doing things like "A Christmas Carol" with George as Scrooge and the Ghosts played…See More

Hi Troy, I ran a YMCA Camp in IN for 6 years (and met my wife, the camp nurse!), then we moved to CT to run a beautiful Y camp in the Berkshires were we raised our two sons in true Geek Dad fashion. Now I consult with camps all across the country to help them improve their enrollment and impact. The Geek Dad activities are great to do at camps. You've got a great Y camp in KS, Camp Wood.

Hello Troy,

Thanks for the welcome!  I just posted some photos, and yes I admit it - I am a girl  (I hope other members will not hold it against me).  I joined GeekDads, because I want to participate in  tech discussions and activites about educating and protecting kids, without having to see ads for pampers and female products, which is what is featured on these sites for women.  I am used to working with teams of IT techs, and have no patience for "where is the start button" or "oh, it wasn't plugged in?" types of posts.  So here is where I have landed and hope to make  thoughtful, significant and even funny contributions to the conversation.  My other info is on: @DawneNYC on twitter, http://www.facebook.com/DawneNYC?ref=tn_tnmn, and http://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnenyc.
