Replay by Ken Grimwood

Replay by Ken Grimwood I just finished reading this sci-fi-ish story of a man repeating his life over and over again. "Groundhog's Day" you say?

GeekDad 2.0 Beta Information

Welcome beta testers!



So, here's the deal: we need guinea pigs - er, "beta testers" to come in and kick the wheels on our new community features. We plan on rolling this stuff out at some fuzzy future date somewhere between a couple weeks and a couple months away, but we want to make sure it all works, it all makes sense to people, that it has everything anyone could want, and that it looks a little lived-in when we go public.
