In a testament to my geekiness, I’ve started yet another collection on Squirl. In addition to my DvDs, Xbox and PC games, I’ve now got 170 of my CDs cataloged on the site as well.
Yeah, I’m a dork. No surprises there.
Too damn long. I'm not an especially ebullient fellow, but there's only so much brooding descent into the murky depths of despair that I can stomach before I start looking for the exit.

Lackluster animated retelling of the "Death of Superman" story from 1992. Unfortunately, much of what made that story interesting was missing in the animated version. And what's with Superman's cheeks?

Bigger, prettier and funnier than its predecessor, but not always better.

The guy from The Sentinel and that one dude from Eureka, plus a couple of hot chicks and the one guy who always plays a hotheaded coach. Oh, and a bunch of computer-generated bugs. Spoiler alert! The rook represents the outpost! The bugs are inside! Agggh! Why did I watch this? Wasn't the original bad enough? Apparently not.

"Like a bad horror movie, isn't it?" Yes, Lance Henriksen, it's a lot like that. Some clever bits, but overall a disappointing addition to the Hellraiser franchise.

I’ve started to add to this also…..I just have the free service right now, but will upgrade…….I have my books and some DVD’s on there now. Oh yea…….geeks abound!!!
Its possible you could be a bigger geek. Really!
Wow, first page of your CD list tells the whole story…
A. The Best of Abba… sigh… um… yeah.
B. The Soundtrack to Akira - you are my hero.

Was that a knock on ABBA or do you still harbor feelings for Agnetha?
As for Akira, it’s an awesome soundtrack to an awesome movie. I still don’t have the DVD, but it’s on my Amazon wishlist.
If there are two albums that I’d offer in comparison as an example of my somewhat eclectic tastes, they’d have to be Beggars and Saints by Jai Uttal and His Pagan Love Orchestra and … well, probably The Best of ABBA.
was supposed to be a knock… but it didn’t come across well enough.
I have the Akira Limited edition DVD that came out 3 or 4 years ago– yeah!
I am at a total, utter loss as to why one would even consider doing this.

Oh, it’s so much clearer now. Thanks.
Again, why would one do this?
Geeks aren’t materialistic by default, however…
If a geek can post their albums to an an interactive website using their PDAs, cell phone Bluetooth links, or (taking the easy way out) their home computer, well, it just shows people how exalted their geek-fu is.
That, and there are a number of geeks out their who have an almost OCD obsession with counting and tracking their stuff. (I’m guilty of this as well.)

I understand the need to track and count, but the idea of posting it online, then telling the world where to find it strikes me as more than a bit odd.

Materialism is simply the desire to collect stuff. All do it. Geeks concentrate on high-tech. The charge of being materialistic is usually reserved for anyone making more than ones self.
