If you can read this post then that means that my web page has been successfully moved. It took me all of an hour to move everything over to dreamhost. You may remember I tried this a few weeks ago but had no luck moving to 1&1, hence…. 1&1 can suck it. Thank you, that is all.

A few months ago I came across the video promoting the “Society for Geek Advancement”. I didn’t link to it right away because to be honest I don’t think all of the people in the video can be called true geeks. Don’t get me wrong I really do respect some of them like Leo Laport, Wil Wheaton, Levar Burton, Justine Ezarik, Kevin Rose, and of course the Woz. I’m sure I’m forgetting many more. The problem is they seem to be confusing geek with hipster blogger. I’m not saying you can’t be both by any means, but with the exception of the ones I have mentioned there didn’t seem to be very many “true geeks” on that list. I’m not going to go into a long explanation about what a “true geek” is but most people know if they are, or at least know it when they see it. Any way, here is the video followed by another explaining “geek speak”. Enjoy.

This might be better quality than the youtube vid.

So there I was at 1 a.m. or so browsing justin.tv and I stumble on this girl playing air drums. Her technique was…impressive. Check it out:

Watch live video from heyitsRachel on Justin.tv

Anyway, thats not the point of this post. So I figured this girl is certainly not afraid to look strange on video so I have got to check out her blog. I followed the links to her personal blog at heyitsrachel.com and found a very well put together site. It seemed to be much like the web version of Seinfeld, a show about “nothing”. What really got my attention was her post on March 8th about Superman Ice Cream.

This is the ice cream I have been looking for since I was a kid. I remember having it a few times at our local shopping mall when I was little. I want to say I was probably 5 or 6 years old at the time. Then the ice cream shop in the mall closed and out of sight out of mind…until now. The second she held up that cup of ice cream in the video I saw those colors and memories of flavors I had forgotten ages ago came flooding back. I unfortunately don’t have a TCBY close to my home but this weekend I will make it a personal quest to find one. I just hope the real thing stands up to my newly resurrected memories of it.
