Antiaging Wunderkind I: Paul's Other Accounts:

Dating Advice:

  • OK, thus far you've:
    1-Restored the youth
    2-Obtained the bling
    3-Retained the cred
    4-Updated the look

    But, re-entering the dating scene can still intimidate the most stalwart paladin, the most intrepid latte sipper.

    Enter Very Pretty Geekbabe:

    In love with both Star Trek and Juicy Couture, X-Minus One and Urban Outfitters, she will now attempt to resolve your dating conundrums.

    Your Question:

Paul's Doting Cliquettes


  • Bobgoblin: "He's cute, I'll admit! Though many men who look more like forty are also cute"

    Kathleen: "You have a very cute face"
    Paul's Reaction: Blushing

    ~

    Isee: "He looks like a young, sun-starved Elrond"
    Pauls Reaction: More half-elf than elf.

    ~

  • Clerk at Hess: "Oh Jesus"
    When: After seeing ID for cigarette purchase

    ~

  • Tommy: "I don't know what's in the water you drink, but you look like you're still in Xaverian"
    Comment: A fine gentleman. Yes, men can be cliquettes too!

    ~

    Paul: Ever-improving.

    ~

    snapples_apples: "I'd say your boyfriend (who is cute, sure) can ascribe his youthful looks to staying out of the sun and a good set of genes." Geekbabe: You are sweet. I don't know what came over me that day.

The Astral Shards

Space_fury_1981_international_arcad

If shards from an astral collision glittered above the heath like a second firmament, would you fill with excitement as the eremite left his grotto? Or, would the withering sedge, compounded with the grass, flatten emotion to sentiment?

Think not of the hermit, your ship is splendid and ready to race through the floating crystals. Translucent, but not opaque, watery, but not water, gleaming, but not metallic, the archcraft will propel itself in a stately arch.

Since droplet squadrons smartmob the dank cavern, and since a brooding mountain looms less ominously, the deranged recluse sleeps through the night.

Screencapture is from Space Fury, a 1981 video game developed by Sega, this particular image being from the International Arcade Museum.

Honorary Antiaging Wunderkinds:

  • Michael Hanson at 33.50 Years Old
    The blogger who got fired from Microsoft is a baby faced wunderkind underneath the Van Dyke.
  • Kevin Rose at 30.74 Years Old:
    Digg's chief architect has an almost Euro-prettiness going on. Keep the geek-apps coming!
  • Peter Rojas at 31.50 Years Old:
    We like him: urbane, articulate, dark hair, fair skin, youthful, photogenic.
  • Cory Doctorow at 36.63 Years Old:
    Geeky cool, youthful, perhaps a bit contrarian, full of cred. We like him.
  • Chad Hurley at 30.08 Years Old:
    He looks like a royal with his unkempt elegance.
    So handsome, so successful.
  • Bill Gates at 51.57 Years Old:
    Life is kind to the wealthiest man/most famous geek: the all important baby face to go along with everything else.
  • Nat Friedman at 30.48 Years Old:
    This Linux genius cannot take a bad picture. He is quite literally overflowing with youthful exuberance here.
  • Jason Calacanis at 33.99 Years Old:
    Undeniable baby face. Lifestyle, diet, and a cherubic facial shape affect this honorary wunderkind's appearance.
  • Bruce Sterling at 50.42 Years Old:
    Such refreshing boyish charm and, let's not forget, cyberpunk brilliance. A definite honorary wunderkind.
