New Year Resolutions: Reed

by Reed

I’m usually not the type of person to make New Years resolutions. I’m a firm believer in starting something TODAY and not waiting for a new year to start. So my New Years Resolution that I have isn’t about me starting something, but continuing to do so, which is to read more books.

Yes I know Doug vowed to read 50 books in 2012 (he’s such an overacheiver), but I’ll be happy just to do one a month.

Ok, new goal — one book a month, and I’ll update you on how it goes.  I’ll also be counting the book that I’m currently reading (Book title) as my January book. My resolution, my rules.

Here is what’s on my list right now. I’m sure things will be shuffled around as I find out about other titles.

  1.  Those Guys Have All The Fun: Inside The World of ESPN (currently reading)
  2. Shaq Uncut
  3. The Hobbit
  4. Ready Player One
  5. The Boy Who Couldnt Sleep and Never Had To
  6. Empire State of Mind
  7. - 12. TBA

Let me know If there are any great books you think I should add to my 12 in 2012 book challenge!

Lord of the Legos

by Reed

In 2012, another one of our beloved geek culture fixtures will be reimagined and mass-produced to reach a brand new audience.

My favorite building toy, LEGO, has recently acquired the license to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings  and will be releasing sets and collectibles based off of the franchise, next summer.

I have always loved LEGOs, and it has only grown as they have partnered with other things I love (Spider-Man, Star Wars, Pirates, HP).
