Would you like to see my jar?

Edit: Well, oops.
They say you learn something new every day and I just learnt that pressing Enter after typing the title publishes the post.
This means that for some time this post will show up only as the title.
Anyway the title, as perplexing as it may be, is spawn of something Iced said while pointing out that my post rate is abysmal. I suppose this post is just to make sure that you (all of you) know I'm alive. I'll wrap up by saying that for the most part my inactivity has been mostly attributed to working on models and coding model loaders.
Farewell for some time, I'm going back to my workplace now. That is all...

My childhood in one hour

Due to geographical limitations, I've never been able to attend PAX, but I have always enjoyed playing the home game - watching as more information then I could ever digest an entire lifetime trickled into my Google Reader.
There are people that I know that have yet to pass what I've decided is a nerd rite of passage. A rite of passage that was recently mentioned in passing somewhere, bringing it back into the forefront of my mind.

Those three sentences were related, bear with me. At 2007's PAX Wil Wheaton - official geek king - made the keynote speech. If you have listened to this before (or were there in person) pat yourself on the back. If you have never listened to this before, I strongly urge you to download it onto your MP3 player of choice and tonight, when you lay your head down on your pillow, rather than whipping out a DS, listening to music or, you know, actually going to sleep (god, I envy you people who can fall asleep at will), listen to what Wil has to say for an hour. I promise you it is time well spent.
