Hi Everyone
« on: July 07, 2006, 09:42:43 AM »
Hi.  Mike from NY here.  Software Developer by day, Geek by night.
Love reading and at this late stage in my life (I'm 29) I only just started reading graphic novels.  I always thought they were dumb before.

My favourite thing to be Geeky about these days is the new Battlestar Galactica.  Star Trek is in the past.

Hi foundation.  Welcome.  Please don't post in threads dead longer than a couple of weeks though, unless there is a really good reason for it.

Thanks.

I think Star Trek fell just had too many spinoffs and imploded.
Greetings, Foundation!

Hello again.  Foundation does refer to the book and not the makeup.  It's hard to think of something relevant to what you like and makes sense to other people, so I just went with that.

"Foundation" is also the state of having totally found something, as in, "OMG! I've been looking for this for hours, and now it's like total foundation-ville USA!"
