You’re either with us… or you’re one of them. For centuries, a silent war has been waged between two groups of people. Each group is very proud, very skilled, and very intelligent. This war has not been publicized in mainstream media. Not even the bloggers have talked about it. But this is something that means something to me, and should mean something to you. If you are a Geek, if you have Geeky things, or even if you just identify with the word Geek… this should be important to you.

I’m going to share with you a website that has been years in the making. I hope you’ll appreciate what we’ve done. Many people have died over the building of this website. As we were trying to get it completed, something would happen. Tonight, I’m taking a stand while I’m sitting down, because the other group started it. The Geeks are at war with the Ninjas. Are you a Ninja? Are we Ninja? Or are you Geek?!

I know you may think this doesn’t matter, and that it’s just another one of my silly games. No! We have a website, and a domain. That means we’re taking it seriously. Geek Vs Ninja asks one simple question. Which one are you? How do you register your vote? Simply join one website or the other. Right now, the Ninjas are kicking our proverbial asses. There are nearly 10,000 Ninjas, while there are currently less than 4000 Geeks.

Which one are you? If you are Geeky in any way, shape or form… you better make sure you join the site and help us to defeat the Ninjas, once and for all. You are going down, Ninjas.

I realize I’m kind of ruining it for you, but I am the Ask-a-Ninja. You didn’t know that until now, of course. Not really… that would be someone else. The only way I’ve been able to embrace my inner Ninja is thanks to Kent and his crew from Ask A Ninja. You guys already know who I am. If you don’t, just Google the word Chris. I learned to be a Ninja courtesy of the new book The Ninja Handbook.

After much debate and in a spirit of morbid amusement, the International Order of Ninjas has chosen to produce The Ninja Handbook, the first-ever secret ninja training guide specifically designed for the non-ninja.
Most non-ninjas who handle these delicate, deadly pages will die–probably in an elaborately horrific and painful manner. But whether your journey lasts five seconds or five days or (rather inconceivably) five years, all those who bravely take up this text and follow the tenets and trials laid out within will die knowing they were as ninja as they possibly could’ve been. For the true of heart or the extremely lucky, this powerful and honorable manuscript contains such phenomenal ninja wisdom as:
How to create and name your very own lethal ninja clan
The proper weapon to use when fighting a vampire pumpkin
Why clowns and robots are so dangerous on the Internet
Easy-to-follow charts showing when to slice and when to stab
How to execute such ultradeadly kicks as the Driving Miss Daisy
Why pretty much every ninja movie ever made sucks
How to make a shoggoth explode using well-placed foliage
What the heck a shoggoth is and why you’ll need to make it explode
Death Aide certification
Remember: People do not take the Path, the Path takes people.

This book will save your life, even though the front of it says “This Book Looks Forward to Killing You Soon”. It will save your life, and help you kill other things! Release your inner Ninja today.

N+ features unique and freeing physics-based control, mind-blowing style, a built-in level editor and several flavours of sweet, sweet multiplayer goodness. Plus, save and view replays of high-score runs.
N+ virtually gaurantees a 38% increase in ninjas, robots, and your personal popularity. It’s time to show the world your inner ninja! So little to lose, and so much to gain.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
