New Topless Robot list – 10 Most Famous Geek Arguments
I totally spaced on the fact that Topless Robot posted my list “The 10 Most Famous Geek Arguments” yesterday.
Reading through the comments, my favorite thing about the whole article is everyone’s arguing about what arguments should have been included.
(For the record, I skipped Kirk vs. Picard because I already had the Star Trek vs. Star Wars question on the list, and wanted to spread the love around. Furthermore, all the captains and commanders that have come along since–Sisko, Janeway, Archer–have muddied the issue. However, it is a famous geek argument, so point taken.)
UPDATE: Rob of TR just pointed out to me that the list made the front page of Digg yesterday. Dude, where was I?

A favor to ask
Please permit me to make a small request.
I know many of you probably use Adblock or other advertisement-blocking software on your browsers. Most of these programs usually allow you to make exceptions for certain pages or websites. I would immensely appreciate it if you could disable your adblocking software for poeghostal.com.
The only ads I have are either static ads (like Enchanted Toy Chest and Amazon) or Google Ads, so there’s no risk of malware or spyware (as far as I’m aware, anyway). Even if you don’t order anything from the ads, some of them track page impressions and reimburse me in that way.
Disabling Adblock is something I do for my own favorite websites (e.g., Topless Robot, Great White Snark, the Fwoosh, Toy Bender, and so forth). It’s an easy way of showing your appreciation for the site without having to do anything other than look at a couple ads. And who knows, maybe you’ll actually end up getting a good deal on something.
