It’s hard not to feel like we’re living in the age of the comic book geek. As someone who grew up reading them, it’s awesome to see the books everywhere. There are still some downsides for new fans though. Easily getting your hands on them is one, as are obnoxious “gatekeepers” who sneer at new […]

Windows Phone 8.1 Comes Calling
Windows Phone has long been an operating system that sort of interested me, but I can’t see myself in a relationship with it.
