Pr3++yG33kyTh1ng

I'm opening this space up for guest commentaries for an extremely limited time.
Topics considered will be computer-related, online or old school gaming and the catch-all topic of random geekery.
Of course, submitters will get their own byline as well as all the fame and fortune participation in Pr3++yG33kyTh1ng brings a person.
You can submit articles to geek_AT_prettygeekything.com. If you want, you can even have your own "@prettygeekything.com" email address, if you want two gigs of space to manage all the fan mail you are certain to receive.

1. I'd love to see fiction (or fiction based on actual events) about anything nerdy in just about any format.
2. Be sure to provide back links to your own space on the Interweb, so that readers may follow your work home, if possible.
3. Vampires, zombies, ninjas and pirates all rule, for the purposes of this exercise.
4. The high standards of this enterprise must be maintained. Good luck trying not to exceed those in a way that embarrasses me.
5. Have a piece of hardware or software you have strong feelings about (positive or negative)? Surely you might have a few words to say about it.
6. Submissions containing nudity will not be given special consideration.*

In other news, after extensive research I present this:

Reduced Sugar Cinnamon Dolce Flavoring Recipe

50 ml. Splenda
30 ml. Splenda Blend Brown Sugar

Boil for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Boil longer for thicker syrup.
Allow to cool 15 minutes.
Add 3/4 tsp cinnamon extract and 1/8 tsp butter extract and stir well.
Pour into dispenser and store in refrigerator.
For about 10 oz. of finished syrup multiply all of the proportions in the recipe by 3.
