Don't Panic!
Posted by Sam at 1:43 PM
 Nerds everywhere are sent into a whirlwind of panic. My response: Don't panic.
Ah... Don't Panic. The now legendary advice from that super-duper, more-useful-than-the-internet book (computer?), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Today however, I find myself repeating that mantra over and over. Don't Panic, don't panic, don't panic... Yet on this day, it provides no comfort.
Today is Tiger day. Today is also opening day for the new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. Clearly, the nerd in me is torn. I am now forced to choose between two huge passions in my life; Macintosh nerdism versus Sci-fi fanaticism. What to do... what to do?
 In actuality however, there is no decision that needs to be made. Tiger trumps all... or should I say, tromps all? Chomps all? Anyway... the unleashing of this vicious feline is something that I have been looking forward to for so long. Nothing will stand in the way of me spending company money to purchase a copy. Nothing. (Not even the overpowering cuteness of Marvin, the clinically depressed robot. I guess in the meantime, I'll have to be satisfied with the adorableness of the little Automator robot. I'll be ok. Really.)

Sam is an amazing and humble guy. Once, he rushed into a burning building, up six flights of stairs to save a kitten from certain death. He speaks eight languages, has mastered three varieties of martial arts, is a wine expert, and is a pulitzer prize winning author. Sam is an international heart-throb who prefers a quiet evening at home knitting afghans for the homeless, to the go-go, glitz and glamor of the party scene. I think the day he won the silver medal for ballroom dancing at the 98 olympics was the happiest of his life. Pretty impressive for a guy who never finished the 8th grade. - Carrie, 04
