Like the audio version of Just A Geek, this is a super-annotated edition, filled with tons of what I call "audio footnotes" for lack of a less stupid-sounding term. I hope we've created something that's more like sitting down in a room with me while I tell you stories, than it is a typical audiobook. I don't think a traditional publisher would let me get away with doing it this way, which is a big reason I do these things on my own. If you've ever heard me perform my work at a show, or listened to any of my podcasts, you should have some idea of what you're getting into.
These are the stories Wil loves to tell, because they are the closest to his heart: stories about being a huge geek, passing his geeky hobbies and values along to his own children, and vividly painting what it meant to grow up in the ’70s and come of age in the ’80s as part of the video game/D&D/BBS/Star Wars figures generation.

I saw this on boingboing earlier today. It's one of those things that will make some people crack up, and make most people look at those people who are cracking up with confusion and fear.
For some reason, xkcd hasn't been on my radar until today, which is a shame because the artist has some really funny, thoughtful, and insightful cartoons. But it's in bloglines now, for sure.
If you think this comic is as funny as I do, you can buy it on a T-shirt. Sweet.
