Microsoft Surface surfaces. Salon magazine says McCain is a computer dunce. Nortel getting into SIP and buys developer of protocol. Liberty Media wants the AOL dial-up business. Why?

Where has all the geek gone?

It’s true, aside from the daily shotgun posts from Mr. Dvorak, For the Love of Geeks has been geek desert, which I will agree is not nearly as appealing as a Geek Dessert.

Your geek at the helm has been a busy little bee, trying to get ducks to line up in a row, which is harder then it would seem at the surface. What I am looking for is something like this :

However, somthing you may not know, much of the time they prefer to go off in their own direction, and apparently color thier bills blue and put sunglasses on… which leaves you with something like this :

Anywho … I digress from all this crazy duck talking.  Suffice it to say, that I have been working on creating a situation that will allow For the Love of Geeks to reach its rightful status among the blogosphere, and for those of you who were around for the ill-fated podcasting attempt, yeah that will be back too, but with a better format and hopefully much more interesting content.

I will definitely keep you up-to-date on those rumblings and ramblings, and more and more content will for certainty be coming your way through the blog.

Keep coming around, if for no other reason to listen to our favorite Cranky Geek pontificate on the industry news of the day. ;)
