I sometimes find myself doing something so geeky I have no choice but to go outdoors without a computer for at least an hour to compensate.
After I filed some Shrek-related ratings with Netflix this evening, the site recommended The Secret of NIMH. My first thought upon seeing the title was, “Wow, someone made a documentary about nickel-metal hydride batteries?”
My second thought was, “I might want to watch that…” (After all, I not only watched but also immensely enjoyed the documentary about Helvetica.)
Then there’s that movie about the ogre with genetically altered DNA so he glows green on a television screen.
