My friend and fellow Bradford alumnus, Chris Clark, has a website called Geek Force Five. The site is subtitled, “The Five Most Notable Manifestations of Awesomeness in One Geek’s Universe,” which basically means Chris uses the site to talk about his obsessions Kevin Smith, Lost, Nine Inch Nails, Apple products, and Marvel comics. When he first launched the site, he asked his friends to post their personal Geek Force Fives, and here is what I submitted:
- MacGyver
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- my family and friends
- Beverly Hills 90210
- movies
Chris gave me some (admittedly deserved) grief about including 90210 on my list, but c’mon, what’s better than a super cheesy nighttime teen soap from the 1990s? Chris invited me to become a “Guest Geek” on the site, so today he posted my first contribution, “Beverly Hills Breakdown: The Donna Martin Top Five.” You can check it out here.
In other news, I hit the 1100 mark on the TransAmerica trail. Here’s a photo of my current location on the map, 11.91 mi to Eddyville, Illinois:
And this is really exciting: Today my friend Paul from Element K asked me to help him and some other people train a group who will be walking their first half marathon in the fall. I’m so honored! And excited. Who would ever believe that I would be asked to coach someone in an athletic capacity?!
