Ok, so I’m not sure how serious this is, but it is too geeky to leave out of the Technorama fodder.
Nerdi gras, the nerd’s equivalent of mardi gras, begins today. It lasts from the square root of Christmas until Pi day.
(Christmas is 12/25; the square root of 1225 is 35, represented as

In January I took a cruise on the high seas and brought you back some audio (and photos). This is part 1 where we take a tour of (part of) the ship. Part 2 will have more about the technical details of the big boat.

Now when you write your great American novel, you can honestly say that it’s better in the original Klingon.
And because it is soooo futuristic, it comes with a PS/2 interface. So dig up that USB adapter out of the trash and sign up for this limited edition, soon-to-be classic.
P.S. does anyone have a Klingon spell check plugin for Word?
