The Truth Behind The Geek (*creative liberties taken for the benefit of the reading audience)
Dave, who has the ability to talk endlessly about stupid things that matter to no one, would like to promote Geek Life and Woot. So if you have a moment to spare, please visit Geek Life and Woot, websites that Dave is associated with. In fact, I highly recommend both sites...Geek Life, and of course Woot.
