Ok. That may not be true but according to this chart, we're definitely the least wacky of the bunch. What surprises me most is that "Lost" is crammed in here. Wonder how hipsters feel to be in a category along with the rest of us sci-fi geeks?

Via Sci-fi Wire, I share with you the geek matrix. And it's pretty bloody accurate.

I fit into more than one of these categories. Should I be scared or proud of my geekdom? I'm definitely proud.

 This past weekend hubby and I, along with nearly 200 of our closest friends, gathered together at the Vancity Theater for what is easily one of the, if not the, event of the year: "Star Wars" on the big screen. And I don't mean from DVD at some ham-fisted thrown together event. We're talking pristine 35mm prints of the three films that defined a generation of sci-fi fans.

Vancouver SIGGRAPH's SPARK Festival is wrapping up tonight but the group scored a huge coup when Lucasfilm agreed to release a set of the re-release 1997 prints of the original trilogy. For whatever reason, Lucasfilm openened the vault and Vancouver became only the second place the films have screened since their release in '97 (my understanding is that the other screening was at ILM in conjuction with some event they were running). How cool is THAT????

It was a marathon unlike any I've ever attended and I'll be the first to admit "Star Wars" isn't my favourite entry into the sci-fi genre but it was awesome to be able to share the event with hubby who was indoctronated into Lucas' world when he was a pup of 6. I must also admit that seeing the films on the big screen with the volume turned up to 11 was one of the greatest experiences of the past few years and I now have a new appreciation for the films.

It was a pretty awesome experience and an opportunity that will likely not come up again any time soon.

SPARK wraps up tonight with screenings of "The City of Lost Children" and "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". If you're interested, tickets can be purchased online at their website or at the door.

Let's begin with a very special birthday wish to the movie that inspired a generation of directors, movie fans and geekboys and girls: Star Wars. May the power be strong for another 30.

It's been a bit of a crazy week. It's been particularly busy at work thanks in part to the long weekend and the fact that the accountant is off today and I'm stuck in the office for the day. Not so much as a coffee break. It's a bit of a bugger. Tomorrow afternoon I'll be turning into a photographer when I make my way down to our presentation center to catalog the suite in pictures. I'm actually looking forward to that. I've never done this type of thing before. Should be fun.

Before I disappear before a mound of paperwork for the day and the rest of the weekend, I want to wish everyone south of the 49th a safe and fun long weekend!

And now, drum roll please, today's KFF: Back to Basics.
