A word of warning to everyone out there. If you are at work tomorrow and are having problems with your email or you can't print something or you are having trouble uploading pictures of your cat to your FaceBook profile I am just here to tell you that you may be waiting for quite a while for any kind of IT support. Why? Because tomorrow is the geek equivalent of a snow day. All over the country geeks, nerds, techies, and fanboys will be silently wrapping things up early, signing out their pagers, and putting their cell phones on vibrate so that they can all go out and see the earliest possible screening of the new Star Trek movie.

Why the earliest possible screening? It's all about your Geek Cred (kind of like street cred but you don't have to shoot anyone for it). The first one to see the latest and greatest thing in Geekdom wins. It's as simple as that. And Star Trek is about as close as you can get to being the Holy Grail of Geekdom.

So if you're having technical issues tomorrow you may have better luck talking with your help desk friends over in India because the local guys may be "busy". In fact, I will go so far as to predict that there will be a lot of convenient server related emergencies that will absolutely require your local IT guy's undivided attention in the data center (which, of course, no one but your IT guy knows the location of). These emergencies will probably last for a block of, oh, let's say 3 hours in the early afternoon. After which things will miraculously be fixed and your local IT guy will have averted certain disaster.

Also, if you are heading to the movies tomorrow or anytime this weekend, you may run into some klingons, vulcans, and romulans, plus the occasional jawa (not all geeks are smart. We do occasionally have a confused one). So expect theaters to be packed but if you are going to see "Ghosts of Girlfriends past" or "The Soloist" you should be OK.

Where will I be tomorrow? I will be at work tending to my duties. You see, us older, more seasoned geeks no longer have the need to see the latest and greatest as soon as it comes out. Even if it is Star Trek ... I'll probably wait until Monday.

Cheers

Last Ditch Entertaiment is pleased to present The Viper!, a film by Noelle, starring Maeve, Conor, Shea, and Michelle.

Welcome to the debut episode of our new show, The Moynihan Movie Review.

This is our first episode so there are still some kinks to work out. For example, after this episode I had to wash my 3 year old's mouth out with soap.
Enjoy
